Landlord Information

This is where we'll send the certified letter.

Don't know your landlord's mailing address?

Check, in order:

  1. Your lease — first page or the signature block usually lists a notice address.
  2. Your rent-payment app or portal — look at the landlord or payee profile.
  3. The property management company's website.
  4. The county assessor's property lookup — search the rental address; the owner's mailing address is public record.

If a property manager handles the unit, their office address works.
