Subject: Urgent Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services — Lakewood, Colorado Dear [Landlord’s Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning issue that requires your immediate attention. As a tenant of [Property Address], I am deeply disappointed to notice a recent decrease in essential services provided at the premises. I strongly suspect that this reduction is in retaliation for exercising my legal rights as a tenant. It is important to understand that as a resident in the state of Colorado, I am entitled to certain legal protections, including the right to live in a safe, habitable, and well-maintained residence. As per my lease agreement and the state's landlord-tenant laws, it is your responsibility as the landlord to provide and maintain necessary and reasonable services to ensure these living conditions are met. Unfortunately, I have witnessed a decline in several crucial amenities within the building and feel compelled to bring these issues to your attention: 1. Maintenance and Repairs: Despite my requests for essential repairs, no action has been taken in a timely manner, leading to unnecessary inconveniences and even safety hazards. Examples include [specific maintenance issues]. 2. Sanitation and Waste Management: Recently, there has been a deterioration in the sanitation standards, leading to unhygienic and potentially hazardous conditions in common areas, such as [specific areas]. 3. Security: The security measures in place seem to have been compromised, leaving both tenants and their personal property vulnerable to potential threats.

Other Services: There has been a noticeable reduction or complete withdrawal of certain services that were originally included in our lease agreement, such as [specific services], without any valid explanation or alternative solutions proposed. In light of these observed changes, I am led to believe that these actions are in response to legitimate complaints and requests that I have made as a tenant. This tactic is strictly prohibited by Colorado law, as it qualifies as retaliatory conduct. I kindly request that you address these concerns promptly and restore all necessary services to their previous levels. Failure to do so within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no other option but to take further action to assert my rights and hold you accountable for this retaliatory behavior. I believe in maintaining a respectful landlord-tenant relationship, and resolving this issue swiftly will allow us to continue in a cooperative and amicable manner.
