A current rent balance letter is sent from a landlord to a tenant to inform of any past due or monies owed from non-payment of rent or other money owed. The letter is meant to be a formal message to the tenant stating they owe money to the landlord with language stating that the next letter will be an eviction notice or legal proceedings.
The rent balance letter should outline to the tenant the total amount due for the specific rental periods and include any other penalties or other items owed. The letter should be sent via certified mail (with return receipt) giving the landlord official notice the letter was received by the tenant.
