Re: rental letters

Unless I'm misunderstanding, there is nothing that would be illegal about your landlord giving you a letter saying that your rent is currently paid to-date (if that is true)and indicating how long you've been living on the property. However, I'm not certain what you can do if your landlord refuses to give you such a letter. Perhaps I'm missing some facts -- please give me a call if you like and I'll be happy to chat for a minute or two with you.
