Hi,

I have a long time tenant that has agreed via text to resign a new lease, but has not done so despite me reminding her every month. The lease is not up until August, but I gave her advance notice in Feb as there was a rent increase due to HOA increases, assessments, and things beyond my control.

Normally I would not be concerned, but because the rent increased by $300, I’m curious if a text confirmation is enough for confirmation of the new terms of the lease? Not sure if it makes a difference, but my 2bd/2ba, w/d, dishwasher, elevator, balcony and AC apt in Manhattan is still very very affordable compared to comparable units. I just want everything done by the books.
