Whenever you book accommodation in a hotel over the internet using a credit card, when the hotel emails you back to confirm your details, that document is a legally binding document. It is a contract, so I would say that is the same when a tenant is dealing with his or her landlord/landlady.

In most cases it is, but how hard it is to write a letter and mail?

It should be unless the contract states defines "in writing" to be done a specific way. If the contract states it must be a registered letter, then that's the way you have to go. If it does not, then an email would work. Just make sure you set the option to get a "read receipt" that you can keep for your records to prove they got it.

I would think so, but I would tick the option "request a read receipt".

You're reading Legally speaking does email sent to management count as "in writing". From my lease: "At least 60 days prior to Tenant vacating the premises, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing that Tenant will be vacating the Premises." Is an email good enough?

thanks for the info, it's really helpful. I have found this new management company to be rather heavy handed and just wanted to be certain.

Get everything in writing.

Common sense says it is, but i would adopt a more literal approach in that "in writing" means hand written with a pen. Why risk it - do both - email and a written letter, recorded delivery. Be ahead of the game. Best to do more that do less then you can sleep at night.
