Sending Traceable Mail

Sending correspondence to a landlord that doesn't wish to receive it can be difficult, especially when you need to know that it arrived. Here are some suggestions:

1) Send correspondence along with your rent payment. If the landlord cashes the check, they've obviously received your note.
2) Send your letter via certified mail. It isn't necessary to obtain a return receipt, as your mailing can be tracked online at usps.gov using the label number. If the letter is returned to you unclaimed, resend it using either option one or three.
3) Have someone who does not have a stake in your concern mail the letter to the landlord via first class mail with postage prepaid. If its receipt becomes an issue, that person can vouch that it was sent.
