[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the ongoing issue of what appears to be retaliatory threats and actions towards me as your tenant. As per my rights under the Arvada, Colorado Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, I request that you cease any further retaliatory behavior immediately. It has come to my attention that you have been making explicit threats to evict me in response to my legitimate concerns regarding necessary repairs and maintenance in the rented premises. These threats have been made in response to my exercise of my rights as a tenant, which is clearly prohibited under Colorado law. I find this retaliatory behavior unacceptable and in violation of the principles of fair housing and tenant rights. Under the Arvada, Colorado Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, it is unlawful for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant by threatening eviction or taking retaliatory actions such as increasing rent, decreasing services, or otherwise interfering with a tenant's quiet enjoyment of the rented premises. By engaging in such behavior, it undermines the mutual trust and cooperation that should exist between a landlord and a tenant. I believe it is in our best interest to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship and ensure open communication channels. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease any further retaliatory threats or actions against me. I am eager to resolve any issues or concerns amicably through communication and negotiation. It is my hope that we can find a mutually satisfactory resolution to address the maintenance and repair issues in the rented premises. I also want to remind you that as a tenant, I have the right to withhold rent or use the repair and deduct remedy if necessary repairs are not addressed within a reasonable timeframe. However, I hope we can avoid such measures and instead work collaboratively towards resolving the underlying issues. Please consider this letter as a formal notice and request to cease retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction. I expect your prompt attention to this matter. Failure to comply with this request may result in further legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your prompt attention to this notice, and I look forward to resolving these concerns in a fair and constructive manner.
