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.

Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services — Vista, California Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a tenant of your property located at [Property Address] in Vista, California, to address a significant concern regarding the recent decrease in services provided by your management. Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for your efforts in maintaining the property thus far. However, it has come to my attention that certain reductions in services have occurred following my legitimate exercise of tenant rights, which I believe to be in violation of both state laws and our lease agreement. [Keywords: Retaliatory decrease in services, Tenant rights, Lease agreement, Vista, California] It is essential to highlight that under California law, specifically under Civil Code Section 1942.5, landlords are prohibited from retaliating against tenants who engage in protected activities such as reporting habitability issues, requesting maintenance repairs, or asserting their legal rights. Additionally, our lease agreement stipulates that you are responsible for providing necessary services as outlined in the terms and conditions. I would like to draw your attention to the specific reductions in services I have observed: 1. [State the specific decreased service(s) experienced, e.g., a decline in regular trash collection, inadequate pest control measures, dysfunctional common area lighting, etc.] 2. [Provide another example, if applicable] I firmly believe that these changes are directly linked to actions I have taken within my rights as a tenant. Considering the timing and nature of these service cuts, it is evident that they are retaliatory in nature. Such retaliatory acts compromise my right to a habitable dwelling and enjoyment of the leased premises. [Keywords: Right to a habitable dwelling, Enjoyment of leased premises] As your tenant, I kindly request that you immediately cease any retaliatory decrease in services and restore them to the previously agreed-upon level as stated in the lease agreement. Moreover, I urge you to take corrective actions to ensure the provision of adequate and timely services going forward. Failure to address this issue promptly and effectively could result in further action, including legal recourse to protect my rights as a tenant. I believe resolving this matter needs to be a priority in order to maintain a positive and mutually beneficial landlord-tenant relationship. [Keywords: Legal recourse, Positive landlord-tenant relationship] I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [reasonable time frame] and provide a written response indicating your intentions regarding the resolution of this matter. Prompt communication is essential to prevent any escalation. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope that we can work together to resolve this issue amicably.
