Title: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats of Eviction — Corona, California Tenant to Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious concern regarding the current situation in our tenant-landlord relationship. It has come to my attention that there have been instances of retaliatory threats to evict or retaliatory eviction due to recent disagreements and conflicts between us. As you are aware, I am entitled to certain rights and protections under California law, including the right to peacefully enjoy my rented premises without fear of retaliation for asserting these rights. Retaliatory actions by a landlord against a tenant are strictly prohibited and are considered an unlawful practice. I would like to remind you of the following relevant provisions under the California Tenant Protection Act: 1. California Civil Code Section 1942.5 prohibits retaliatory actions against a tenant who has exercised their rights, such as reporting code violations, requesting necessary repairs, or engaging in other lawful actions protected by California law. 2. Retaliatory actions can include threats to evict, unwanted and invasive inspections, unjustifiable rent increases, or other forms of harassment intended to pressure or intimidate tenants. Engaging in such actions is in direct violation of the law. Considering the current circumstances, I genuinely believe that these retaliatory threats or actions are unjustified and unacceptable. It is my sincere hope that we can resolve any issues or conflicts amicably and maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. In light of the above, I kindly request that you immediately cease any further retaliatory threats of eviction or retaliatory eviction attempts. I trust that you understand the gravity of this situation and the potential legal consequences involved. If these retaliatory actions do not cease within [mention a reasonable timeframe, such as 14 days from the date of this letter], I may have no option but to seek legal recourse to protect my rights as a tenant under California law. Please consider this letter as my effort to resolve the matter in a fair and lawful manner, in hopes of maintaining a positive and respectful landlord-tenant relationship. To assist you, I have attached copies of relevant sections of the California Civil Code, highlighting the laws pertaining to tenant protections against retaliatory actions. I kindly request that you acknowledge the receipt of this letter and indicate your commitment to ceasing any further retaliatory threats or action within the specified timeframe. Your prompt and appropriate response is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that we can find a resolution and move forward in a mutually beneficial manner.
