Mail landlord and tenant notices online
Tenants and landlords can send legally-meaningful notices — security-deposit-demand-letter demands, repair requests, lease non-renewals — as USPS Certified Mail for $12.99 ($14.99 with electronic Return Receipt) without a printer or a post-office trip.
Usually the right pick: Certified + Return Receipt · $14.99
Most landlord-tenant statutes turn on dates: when notice was given, when the cure period started, when the deposit clock ran out. A notice you cannot date is a notice that did not happen, as far as a court is concerned. Certified Mail timestamps the mailing; the electronic Return Receipt timestamps the delivery.
Deposit demands are the classic case. Many states make a landlord who ignores a written demand liable for two or three times the deposit — but only if you can show the demand was delivered. Send it Certified with Return Receipt, keep the PDF, and note the tracking number from your receipt email.
For routine correspondence — a maintenance request, a heads-up about a repair visit — First-Class at $1.99 is plenty, and it creates a paper trail that email sometimes does not (some leases specify notice "by mail"). Read your lease: if it names a notice method, match it exactly.
Both sides can use the same flow: landlords sending non-renewal or entry notices get the same proof-of-mailing protection tenants do. The letter is printed and handed to USPS the next business day, and you can watch tracking from the status page.
Common questions
Does a security-deposit-demand-letter demand have to be Certified Mail?
Not always by statute, but Certified with Return Receipt is the standard because it proves both mailing and delivery. If your state’s deadline is, say, 30 days from the demand, the delivery record establishes the clock.
Can I send a notice to my landlord’s registered agent?
Yes — address it to whatever notice address your lease or the state business registry lists. Addresses are verified against USPS data before payment, so typos get caught early.
How fast does the notice arrive?
Letters are handed to USPS the next business day; First-Class and Certified typically deliver in 3–5 business days. If a statutory deadline is tight, Priority ($24.99) delivers in 1–3 days.
