Warning Letter: The Step Before the Notice
It is not necessary to send a notary notice directly for every rule violation. In most cases, a polite but clear written warning prepared by management solves the problem. The warning letter both informs the resident and records the fact that they have been warned; if the problem continues, this letter forms the basis of the subsequent notice and legal process.
Characteristics of an Effective Warning Letter
A good warning letter is not accusatory but informative, reminds of the concrete rule, uses polite language and, if necessary, specifies the consequence (what will be done in case of repetition). Below you will find samples for the three most needed situations.
1. Noise Warning
Dear Resident of Unit No ……,
Recently, the ……………… (loud noise late at night) originating from your unit has been reported to our management by our neighbours. For our common living peace, we kindly request that the sound level, especially between 22:00–08:00, be kept at a level that does not disturb the neighbours. Thank you for your understanding.

2. Car Park Occupation Warning
Dear Resident of Unit No ……,
It has been determined that your vehicle with the plate ……………… has been parked in a car park space not allocated to you / belonging to the common use area. For the fair use of all our residents, please use only the area belonging/allocated to you. Thank you for your cooperation.

3. Renovation / Common Area Warning
Dear Resident of Unit No ……,
It has been observed that ……………… (renovation work in your unit is being carried out outside the permitted hours / material has been left in the common area). We kindly request that renovation work be carried out on weekdays between ……–…… hours and that common areas be kept empty. Thank you for your understanding.

Filling Guide
Keep the warning letter polite; the aim is not conflict but solution. Deliver the letter to the relevant unit against signature or by leaving it at the door and keep a copy. If the problem is repeated, this warning letter becomes the first step of the notary notice process.
After the Warning
If the violation continues despite the warning, the formal notice stage is entered. See our tenant notice article for tenant violations, our noise problem article for the noise process, and our car park article for car park rules.
Common Mistakes
- Accusatory language: The warning should be informative, not personalised.
- Not keeping a record: Keep a copy of the warning.
- Disclosure of personal information: Deliver the warning specifically to the relevant unit, not to the notice board.
