I'm self-managing a property, as an out-of-town landlord. I have some relator "boots" on the ground that I can engage with on an ad-hoc basis if needed.
But I'm wondering if I can handle this myself.
I have a tenant whose fixed-term lease ended 8.31.2021. I'm not renewing. I'm giving them 30 days as a courtesy. Their last day is 10.13.2021. In Louisana, per law, I only have to give them 10 days notice to vacate.
I've sent an email, called, and texted the same, letting them know the above.
Questions:
Should I deliver a non-renewal lease letter? Does it need to be posted on their door?

You can use certified mail which most courts will presume delivered after 5 days. Personally I mail it first class and email it. The letter should be an official notice stating your intentions or non-intentions in this case.

State laws vary widely on this some only accept first class mail while some need proof of delivery. This can also vary widely by courts and individual judges. We normally mail, email and a short text. Cover the bases.
