Letter to your landlord (draft template)

A record-request letter you can adapt. Replace every [bracketed placeholder] yourself — NestIQ never sees or stores those details.

Subject: Assignment or sublet request - written response requested

[Letter date]

Dear [Landlord or property manager name],

I am writing about my assignment or sublet request for [Rental unit address], which I sent or discussed on [Relevant date].
Please respond in writing by [Requested written response date].

1. Confirm whether you consent, refuse, or need specific documents to decide.
2. If you refuse, provide the reason in writing.
3. Identify any out-of-pocket cost you say applies and provide support for that cost.

Timing guidance: If the landlord won't respond to an assignment request, you may terminate on 30 days' notice. The exact date still depends on missing facts or source review.

1. Confirm: Case-specific dates, documents, facts, and tribunal history.

I will keep the request, proposed occupant information outside NestIQ, messages, receipts, and this correspondence for my file.

Sincerely,
[Tenant name]

Educational information only; not legal advice. Scenario, deadline, form-fill, and letter outputs remain draft until licensed review signs off.

Privacy: this workspace stores nothing unless you explicitly save a case, and a saved case holds only the issue type and a short label — never notice text, addresses, amounts, or documents.
