This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord in which Tenant claims that Landlord's failure to abide by the continuing requirements of the Lease Agreement by denying Tenant certain services is retaliation for some action initiated by Tenant. This letter provides notice to Landlord that such retaliatory action is in breach of the lease agreement and may constitute a further violation of the law.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning issue that has come to my attention regarding the decrease in services provided by your company or property management in [property address] in Fontana, California. This decrease in services appears to be in retaliation for exercising my rights as a tenant, and I kindly request that you immediately cease such retaliatory actions. As you are aware, as a tenant, I have certain rights and responsibilities outlined in the lease agreement and protected under the laws of the State of California. Article [X] of the lease clearly stipulates the services that should be provided, and it is my belief that your recent actions directly contradict these obligations. Firstly, I would like to bring to your attention the decrease in maintenance and repairs within the property. The response time for addressing maintenance requests has noticeably slowed down, resulting in unresolved issues that affect the habitability and safety of my living space. This not only breaches your duty as a landlord to provide a habitable dwelling but also raises concerns about potential health and safety hazards. Furthermore, I have noticed a significant decline in the cleanliness and overall upkeep of the common areas within the property. The regular cleaning and maintenance schedules that were previously in place seem to have been neglected, leading to an unsightly and unhygienic environment. This lack of attention also raises concerns about the security and well-being of all tenants residing on the premises. In addition, the utilities provided as part of the lease agreement have been disrupted or reduced without any prior notice or explanation. This has inconvenienced me and has negatively impacted my ability to meet my basic living needs. I firmly believe that these actions constitute a clear violation of our agreed-upon terms and the laws pertaining to tenant rights in California. It is important to note that these decreases in services occurred shortly after I [insert relevant actions taken, such as submitting a formal complaint, exercising lawful rights, joining a tenant's association, etc.]. Considering the timing and nature of these events, it strongly suggests retaliation against my exercise of legal rights, which is strictly prohibited under California's landlord-tenant laws. I would like to remind you that retaliatory actions are not only unethical but are also illegal. As a tenant, I expect to be treated fairly, without fear of retaliation for asserting my rights under the law. I am prepared to take all necessary actions to protect my rights and ensure that the services provided are in compliance with my lease agreement and applicable laws. In light of the above circumstances, I kindly request that you cease any further retaliatory decrease in services immediately. I expect the prompt resolution of any pending maintenance and repair issues, restoration of the previous standard of cleanliness in common areas, and the reinstatement of all utilities to their original state. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and responsibly. Failure to comply with these requests will leave me with no choice but to explore all available legal remedies to address these concerns. It is my hope that we can resolve this matter amicably, ensuring a comfortable and mutually respected rental environment. I look forward to your prompt response within [reasonable time frame]. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
