[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Notice of Unlawful Self-Help by Landlord to Gain Possession of Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue regarding your recent actions that I believe are in violation of the law and require immediate resolution. It has come to my attention that you have engaged in unlawful self-help measures in an attempt to gain possession of the rental property located at [Address] in Miami-Dade, Florida, which I currently occupy as a tenant. First and foremost, I would like to remind you that I have exercised my rights as a tenant by faithfully paying rent in a timely manner, adhering to all the terms and conditions stated in our lease agreement, and maintaining the property in a decent and habitable condition. However, I have noticed certain actions on your part that directly contradict these obligations and breach our agreement. To clarify, the unlawful self-help measures that I have observed include but are not limited to: 1. Unauthorized entry into the premises without prior notice or proper legal justification. 2. Changing the locks without providing necessary written notice or obtaining a court order for eviction. 3. Disrupting essential services such as water, electricity, or gas supply without following the legal procedure. 4. Removing or disposing of my belongings without lawful authority. I must emphasize that these actions are illegal under the laws of Miami-Dade County, Florida, specifically [cite relevant statutes or ordinances if applicable]. Such behavior not only violates my rights as a tenant but also jeopardizes the harmonious landlord-tenant relationship that should be maintained. I request that you immediately cease all the aforementioned unlawful self-help measures. Instead, I kindly ask you to follow the proper legal course of action, should there be any dispute or need for eviction. Any further attempts to gain possession of the premises through illegal means will have serious legal consequences, and I trust you wish to avoid such complications. In the interest of resolving this matter amicably, I propose that we schedule a meeting at a mutually convenient time to discuss our concerns and find a fair and legal resolution. I believe open communication and cooperation will help us rectify the current situation while preserving our contractual obligations and avoiding unnecessary litigation. I kindly request a prompt response to this letter within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 days] to ensure a timely resolution. If I do not hear from you or if this issue remains unresolved, I may be left with no choice but to seek legal advice and pursue necessary actions to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this dispute in a fair and lawful manner. Sincerely, [Your Name]
