It has come to my attention that there have been persistent retaliatory threats to evict me from the rental property following recent disputes and complaints I have made regarding maintenance issues and other matters related to my tenancy. I want to express my deep concern about this threatening behavior, which I believe is an infringement on my rights as a tenant. I would like to remind you that as a tenant, I have the right to assert my legal entitlement to a safe, habitable, and peaceful living environment, as outlined in California Civil Code Section 1941.1.
