Check with your LL first and ask for date of notification and mailing date if hard copy.

All my rent increase notifications were letter sent by mail, but USPS has been screwed up for a while.

For example my jury duty summons came a month after I got the email notification.

Yeah good idea. I was given a hard copy of a notice last time that I actually had to fill out and return with some information on. So I’m pretty shocked I didn’t get anything this time. I was thinking oh, that’s nice no rent increase this year! Not 🙁

Haha well it's not an unreasonable thought. My building two different missed a rent increase I think it just went under rader and bc I brought up at a tenant association meeting asking if anyone else noticed the same and most gave me the side eye bc they got a yearly rent increase 😬

The landlord is required to notify you but there's no requirement for you to acknowledge anything. As long as they mailed something, they're probably in the clear unfortunately.

All it takes is your mail carrier to put it in your neighbor's mail slot by mistake or it to get lost in your pile of junk mail, and you might miss it but that's not on the landlord. You should definitely challenge them though, make sure they have proof they sent something.

With the way USPS operates in the District, it's more surprising if it actually got delivered.

I didn’t get anything in the mail. I’ll ask them to provide me with proof that they mailed it
