It doesn't. If you mean the required Notice of Claim, you must only send that to the person named as the tenant.
If a vehicle, trailer or boat is involved, you must also send a Notice of Intent to Sell to the actual registered vehicle, trailer or boat owner and any lienholder within 30 days of seizing the vehicle/traier/boat.
That said, there is no rule that says you cannot also send the claim notice (what I assume you are referring to as the "lien letter") to the alternate contact as an additional step.
