I am writing to formally address an issue that has arisen between us regarding the recent concerns I have about potential retaliatory threats to evict or even retaliatory eviction. As a tenant of [rental property address] in Anaheim, California, I am aware of my rights as stated by the California Civil Code, specifically Sections 1942.5 and 1942.6. These sections protect tenants from retaliatory actions by landlords for exercising their legal rights or asserting legitimate complaints. Such retaliatory actions include raising rent, imposing burdensome conditions, decreasing services, making threats to evict, or engaging in an actual retaliatory eviction. It has come to my attention that you have made certain statements or taken actions that may be perceived as retaliatory based on my recent activities or concerns as a tenant. These alleged retaliatory threats to evict or retaliatory eviction attempts to infringe upon my rights and create an atmosphere of tension and discomfort. I kindly request that you immediately cease making any further retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction. It is my right as a tenant to raise legitimate concerns, discuss maintenance issues, and seek necessary repairs without the fear of facing retaliatory actions. My aim is to maintain a healthy, amicable landlord-tenant relationship based on mutual respect and adherence to California law. I have always been a responsible tenant, paying rent on time, and taking care of the property as if it were my own. I believe in open communication, and I encourage you to address any concerns or complaints you may have about my tenancy in an appropriate and non-retaliatory manner. It is in both of our interests to resolve any disputes or misunderstandings through dialogue and cooperation. I trust that you will honor my rights as stated by California law and take immediate action to halt any retaliatory behavior. Failure to do so may be considered a violation of my rights, and I would be compelled to explore legal avenues to protect myself and my interests. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide a written response within [number of days, as required by California law] to confirm your commitment to ceasing any retaliatory threats or actions.
