Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Electronic rental notices count as mail

The law lets landlords and tenants send, store, and show rental notices electronically when UETA rules are met. Electronic delivery can be by email you agreed to, or by posting on a website with a separate notice to your agreed email. A compliant electronic notice counts as a written notice and is treated like first-class or certified mail for legal timing. A tenant can send notices electronically only if the landlord agreed to get them that way for that tenant.

Mail used if electronic notice fails

When the law requires proof of receipt, electronic delivery must include verification or an acknowledgment. If a landlord does not get verification for an electronic notice, the landlord must mail it. If two or more emails to a tenant bounce within 30 days, future messages must be mailed unless the tenant agrees again. If the sender thinks a message was not received or learns the email address is invalid, they must use another legal method. If a tenant’s electronic notice lacks verification, the tenant must use another lawful way to deliver it.

Rules for older electronic consents

Notices sent electronically before this law took effect stay under the old rules if the recipient had already consented. If a tenant had consented before, and the landlord wants to add more types of notices to send electronically, the landlord must first tell the tenant which ones and remind them they can withdraw consent without conditions.

Your consent controls electronic notices

Landlords can use electronic notices only if the tenant clearly says yes first. Before you consent, the landlord must explain your right to withdraw, which notices are covered, how to get paper copies, and how to update your email. The landlord must list needed hardware and software, and you must confirm you can open the electronic form. If tech changes create a risk you cannot access notices, the landlord must tell you and restate your right to withdraw. You cannot be forced to accept electronic delivery to get or renew a lease. If you withdraw, past electronic notices still count, and your withdrawal takes effect after the landlord receives it. If the landlord fails to give the required tech-change notice, you may treat that as a withdrawal.
