Document Delivery & Receipt Record
A Renters' Rights Act-ready record pack that proves you served the revised written statement, the Government's Information Sheet, a Section 13 rent-increase notice, a Section 8 notice, or end-of-tenancy paperwork on the right tenant on the right date by the right method. Every covering letter has a matching tenant-return page with signature blocks and a witness slot for hand-delivered or letterbox service. Keep the signed return, and the date from which statutory periods begin is not in dispute.
