These templates help you start a conversation. They aren’t legal demands, and they don’t promise approval. Fill in every bracketed spot and check that each line is true for you. Keep your copy private. Nothing gets sent for you.

Explain your rental history
Keep it short and factual. Cut anything you can’t back up with a document, and leave out medical or family details they don’t need.
