If you are using TICA they have a sample letter that you can warn tenants of pending listing. Something like this should be used first. The guys from TICA told me that you are meant to warn the tenant first of pending listing and that you are meant to give the tenant reasonable time to rectify the matter. They advised that 4 days could be considered reasonable time

Hi Rebecca, the tenant vacating letter appears in the library

This seems to cover off on what you have requested but you can "Propose Changes" on the left hand side of the document if there is anything you would like added.

Alternatively, let us know what documents in addition to this you would like to see and we'll get to work.
