Is an email notice sent to the tenant for paying the rent considered legal?

Or does it have to be a notarised physical letter?

Hi,

It will be considered if sent from the registered email address.

Thanks for the swift revert.

Also wish to ask, if the existing tenancy contract between the tenant and the previous owner remains in force even after the new landlord has purchased the property in the middle of an ongoing lease, when should a new tenancy contract be made?

Immediately after the property has been sold or at the end of the ongoing tenancy contract signed between the previous owner of the property and the tenant?

Does a new contract have to be in place for the tenant to exchange the cheques or does the existing tenancy contract with the previous owner remains valid for the purpose of exchanging the cheques?

It has to be a notarised notice sent via the Court.

Sending a notice by email is legal.

But if the notice pertains to non-payment of rent, then a notarized notice must be sent through the notary public in the form of a physical letter to comply with the provision of the law.

Failing which, it will not be deemed as a served notice.
