A major theme in the 2026 regulatory landscape is the emphasis on verifiable communication. Landlords are increasingly encouraged to utilize certified electronic communication methods for all official notices, including lease expiration alerts and payment demands. This shift aims to provide a clear, legally admissible trail of correspondence that can protect property owners in the event of a dispute.
