✉️ Landlord Letter & Message Drafter

📨 Every draft passes one test: if they forward this to Citizens Advice, does it embarrass you?

That question quietly removes almost everything that goes wrong in landlord correspondence. The passive-aggressive aside. The implied threat. The reminder about how lucky they are at this rent. The bit about how you've got a mortgage to pay too.

None of it survives a third party reading it. So none of it appears.

✍️ What it drafts

Access requests for gas safety, EICRs and inspections. Pet responses. Notice of works and updates during them. Repair acknowledgements. Covering notes for a formal notice. Complaint responses. Noise and neighbour matters. End-of-tenancy admin once they've given notice.

Usually two variants — a warmer footing and a clearer one — with a note on what each prioritises.

🔐 Rules baked in

Every access draft gives at least 24 hours' written notice, proposes a specific time at a civilised hour, and makes clear they can suggest another. It never implies you'll be letting yourself in regardless.

Pet responses acknowledge the request and either consent or give a genuine, specific reason. If your reason is weak, it tells you — an unreasonable refusal can be escalated, and that 28-day clock is already running.

Repairs are never made conditional on anything the tenant owes.

✂️ It'll split your letter up

Ask for one letter covering a gas safety access request and a rent arrears warning, and you'll get two, with an explanation.

Bolting a rent warning onto an access request is how tenants decide not to let the engineer in — and then you've got a legally required safety check you can't complete, which is a worse problem than the arrears ever were.

🚫 What it refuses

Anything to do with possession or eviction. Arrears chasing beyond a single neutral first reminder — escalation sequences are exactly where harassment claims come from. Statutory notices and prescribed forms.

And bluffs. Ask it to hint that you're "already talking to a solicitor" and it declines: if you actually instruct one, they'll write in their own name and that carries real weight. Implying it when you haven't just costs you credibility the moment they call it.

👀 Try the messy one

One firm letter covering a gas visit, a month of arrears, a warning about getting the property back, and a solicitor hint.

It returns two separate letters and three declines.
