I am writing to address a crucial matter concerning your tenancy at [Tenant’s Address] in San Jose, California. It has come to my attention, through documentation provided by law enforcement, that you have engaged in illegal activities on the premises, violating the terms and conditions of your lease agreement. This occurrence is a serious breach of the lease terms and is strictly prohibited under California and local laws. The specific nature of the illegal activity, as documented by law enforcement, will be mentioned in this letter according to the available information. It is essential for you to note that engaging in any form of illegal activity within the rental property violates your obligations as a tenant and can have severe legal consequences. Moreover, the engagement in such activities jeopardizes the safety, well-being, and peaceful enjoyment of other tenants and the surrounding community. I hereby remind you of the following lease provision(s) and section(s) which clearly forbid engagement in any illegal activity on the premises: [mention the relevant lease provision(s) and section(s) explicitly using exact language or citation if available]. It is imperative to understand that should you repeat such illegal activities, your lease agreement will be terminated immediately following due legal process. Additionally, you may be held liable for any damages, penalties, or legal expenses incurred by me or other affected parties. This letter serves as a first and formal warning to you, ensuring that you have been duly informed of the seriousness of the situation. Below, I provide a summary of the documented illegal activity: [List and describe the documented illegal activities (e.g., drug distribution, vandalism, theft, illegal gatherings, etc.) according to the available information.] While the documented act(s) constitutes a violation of your lease, I want to believe that you understand the gravity of your actions and their potential consequences. It is of utmost importance that you adhere strictly to the lease terms and abstain from any form of illegal behavior in the best interest of all parties involved. In order to maintain a harmonious living environment for all tenants and to handle this situation properly, I request an immediate meeting with you to discuss the matter further. This meeting will provide an opportunity for you to offer any explanations or clarifications regarding the documented illegal activity. Please contact me within [specify a reasonable time frame, such as seven days] to arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience. Please be aware that continued engagement in illegal activities on the premises will initiate legal proceedings for termination of your lease agreement, without any further warnings or notices. I highly encourage compliance with the lease terms and California laws to avoid any potential legal consequences. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and address it accordingly. Failure to do so may result in severe actions, such as eviction and possible criminal charges. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.
