Subject: Request to opt out of third-party internet service provider subscription

Date: ____________________

To: ____________________

Property / Address / Unit: ____________________

I am providing written notice that I am requesting to opt out of paying for the third-party internet service provider subscription offered in connection with my tenancy, consistent with California Civil Code section 1942.8, if that section applies to my tenancy and this charge.

Please confirm in writing whether the request applies, the effective date of any billing change, and any reasonable administrative steps needed to complete the opt-out. Please also identify the internet-related charge or subscription that will be removed from my recurring housing charges.

I understand that opting out of a third-party ISP subscription does not itself establish that another internet provider can serve this address or unit.
