Below are two types of letters landlords may use: Type 1: Initial Notice of Illegal Activity: Dear [Tenant's Name], Subject: Documentation of Illegal Activity on the Premises We hope this letter finds you well. This communication serves as an official notice regarding the documented illegal activity on the premises at [Property Address]. It has come to our attention that law enforcement authorities have reported incidents of illegal activities occurring within your leased premises. As a responsible landlord, we take these matters very seriously, as they can negatively impact the safety and well-being of all residents and the community as a whole.
