Dear Ms. Dubnikova,

I am writing to inform you that Villax Properties will assume responsibility for the San
Paulo apartment complex on June 15. Our company has been in operation for ten years,
and we currently manage fifteen properties in the Albuquerque area. We hope to make
this transition as convenient as possible. Therefore, I am providing some important
information to assist you with this change.
Please note that your current lease and payment information has been transferred to us
from Lindner Management. All conditions of your lease will remain in effect until your
lease expiration date. Rental fees will not increase as a result of this transition but may
increase if you choose to renew your lease.

All future rental payments should be mailed to our central office at the Merrivale Road
address. The enclosed rental payment stubs should be included with each corresponding
monthly payment. You may also drop the payment off to the rental office in your
apartment complex, open Mondays Wednesdays, 9 A.M.- 6 P.M.

Maintenance request forms will no longer be provided. For general maintenance requests,
please call our messaging service at 505-555-0195. Please leave your name, apartment
number, and description of the services needed. All maintenance requests will be handled
within 72 hours. If there is an emergency maintenance request, please call our on-site
maintenance supervisor, Theo Shanahan, at 505-555-0181 for an immediate response.

I have included a tenant information card with this letter as well as a self-addressed
stamped envelope. Please complete the card and mail it back to me, using the envelope
provided. This will ensure we have your updated information on file.

On behalf of Villax Properties, I look forward to providing you with quality management
services and hope that you will continue to feel at home in your apartment. Please contact
our central office at 505-555-0180 or sanpaulo@villaxmgmt.com with any comments or
