Subject: Concerns Regarding Violation of Tenant's Privacy: Letter from Tenant to Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I would like to address a matter of immediate importance concerning an incident that took place on [date] regarding an illegal entry into my rental unit at [address]. It has come to my attention that you or someone acting on your behalf entered my premises without giving prior notice, which constitutes a violation of my privacy rights as a tenant. As you are aware, as tenants, we have the right to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed use of our leased premises. However, your unauthorized entry without providing notice or obtaining my consent clearly breaches this right, leading me to believe that this was a direct violation of the California Civil Code Sections 1954 and 1940.2. I would first like to request an explanation for this unauthorized entry and a detailed account of your reasons for entering my rental unit without prior notice. Moreover, I kindly ask you to adhere to the California state law, which mandates landlords to provide a minimum of 24 hours' notice before entering a rental property unless there is an emergency situation that mandates immediate access. Please understand that this incident has raised concerns regarding the privacy and security of my personal belongings and my overall safety as a tenant. I would like to emphasize that this breach of my privacy should not be repeated under any circumstances. It is imperative that we maintain a respectful and lawful relationship as landlord and tenant, as outlined by California law. I strongly encourage you to review the relevant legislation, such as California Civil Code Section 1954 and 1940.2, to fully comprehend the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. Familiarizing yourself with these statutes will help prevent future misunderstandings, ensure proper conduct, and maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. I kindly request your immediate response to this matter, acknowledging the incident and providing assurances that such unauthorized entries will not recur in the future. It would also be beneficial to clarify the purpose of your entry into my unit and address any concerns or issues that necessitated this action, if applicable. Should this type of violation persist, I will be forced to consider legal remedies available to me under California law to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that we can address this matter amicably, avoiding any further escalation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving your response within [reasonable timeframe, generally 7-10 days] to help resolve this issue swiftly and maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship moving forward.
