What is the legal effect of certified content mail?

I run a commercial property rental business, but the tenant has not paid rent for several months and does not answer my contact attempts. It seems that the grounds for termination under the lease agreement are already met, but I heard that, to make it certain, it is good to obtain the effect of certified content mail. This is my first time dealing with this, so it is rather difficult, and I am at a loss as to what to do. What exactly is the legal effect of certified content mail?

Hello.

I will explain regarding the legal effect of certified content mail.

Certified content mail is a system in which the post office certifies that the sender sent the content stated in the certified content document on the date of dispatch.

Because it certifies that specific content was delivered, certified content mail does not, by itself alone, have legal effect.

However, because it is a system in which the post office certifies the dispatch of the content, the date of dispatch, and the fact of delivery, it can later have effect as evidence in a legal dispute.

In a lease agreement as well, when you demand termination of the contract because the contracting counterparty does not comply with the terms of the contract, you can notify your intention to terminate through certified content mail.

At this time, matters such as the other party's name, address, the lease term, the lease deposit, the leased object (the building), and the details of the contract termination must be accurately stated.

In addition, sending certified content mail does not mean the matter is complete; because it must reach the other party, you must be sure to confirm this.

If you do not properly confirm this procedure, the certified content mail may have no effect, so you should be careful.

To clearly confirm the legal effect of certified content mail and to carry it out, we recommend that you seek advice from an attorney in advance and receive assistance.
