Dear Landlord:

We are residents of Jamaica Plain who make our homes in the buildings you own at xxxxxxxx St.

We are each individually in receipt of your letter dated xxxxxx, stating your intent to convert to condominiums, detailing our rights under the state law, and offering us a purchase and sale agreement.

We are interested in the possibility of purchasing these units. Some of us have lived here for many years, as you know. Some of us have children here. We are all part of the Jamaica Plain community and want to continue to be part of it.

We have formed a tenant association to enable us to talk with you jointly about the terms of possible sales, including issues such as:

Ø The price of the units

Ø Work planned

Ø Timing of sales

Ø Historic building problems residents have raised with you, including issues with building systems such as plumbing and electric

Ø The possibility of public involvement to allow families with less income to buy

We believe there are possible outcomes here which could benefit both you and members of our tenant association. We look forward to discussions between us toward that end. You can reach us by …..

Sincerely,

Signed by all interested with building and apartment #’s
