[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Immediate Cease and Desist Illegal Entry by Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a serious matter regarding your recurring and illegal entry into my rented premises located at [Specify Property Address] in Rancho Cucamonga, California. First and foremost, I value the privacy and respect the sanctity of my rented accommodation, which is protected by the laws and regulations governing landlord-tenant relationships. I have recently discovered numerous instances where you have entered my rental unit without providing any prior notice or obtaining my explicit consent. Upon researching my rights as a tenant under California law, specifically the California Civil Code Section 1954, I found that landlords are required to provide reasonable notice before entering a tenant's premises, except in cases of emergency or when I have explicitly given permission. Despite this legal requirement, your repeated unauthorized entry has infringed on my privacy and disrupted my peaceful enjoyment of the property. I would like to bring to your attention the following instances of illegal entry, which I have documented: 1. [Describe the first incident of illegal entry with date and time, providing as much detail as possible.] 2. [Describe the second incident of illegal entry with date and time, including any specific actions or evidence of entry.] 3. [Continue listing any additional incidents, including their specific details, such as dates, times, and potential damages.] As a conscientious tenant, I take these violations seriously and expect immediate action to rectify this situation: 1. Cease and Desist: I demand that you immediately cease all unauthorized entries into my rental unit. Please respect my right to privacy and uphold your legal obligations as a landlord. 2. Notice of Entry: Going forward, I insist that you provide written notice, at least 24 hours in advance, should you need to access my rental unit for maintenance, inspections, or any other legitimate purpose. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of our lease agreement and California law. 3. Repairs and Damages: I request an inspection of my rental unit to assess any damages resulting from your unauthorized entries. Any damages discovered will require immediate repairs at your expense. 4. Legal Consequences: I must inform you that repeated violations of my right to privacy may result in legal action taken against you, seeking damages and any other appropriate remedies available under California law. Please take this matter seriously, as it pertains to both my legal rights and my expectations as a responsible tenant. I request prompt action and a written response detailing your acknowledgement of this issue and the steps you will take to rectify the situation. As advised by my legal counsel, I have also retained copies of this letter, along with any supporting evidence, for future reference. I urge you to consider the potential consequences of continued illegal entry and to reflect upon your responsibilities as a landlord under California law. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve this issue amicably and maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship moving forward.
