Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding recent instances of retaliatory threats to evict or retaliatory eviction that I have been subjected to as your tenant at [Tenant's Address] in Hollywood, Florida. Firstly, I would like to remind you that as a tenant, I have certain rights protected by the law. According to the Florida Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83), it is prohibited for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant for asserting their rights, reporting code violations, or participating in a tenants' organization. Additionally, any retaliatory eviction or threats of eviction are also strictly prohibited. Unfortunately, I have recently noticed several instances where you have made retaliatory threats against me, indicating that you may attempt to evict me in response to legitimate concerns I have raised regarding necessary repairs in my unit. As a responsible tenant, I have always fulfilled my duties by paying rent on time and maintaining the property in good condition. I believe that it is only fair to expect the same level of responsibility from you as my landlord. I want to emphasize that I have never breached any terms of the lease agreement or acted in any way that would warrant eviction. It is imperative that you understand that under Florida law, retaliation against a tenant can result in significant consequences for the landlord, including the potential for legal action. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease all retaliatory threats and actions against me. I expect to be able to peacefully enjoy my tenancy without fear of unwarranted eviction or retaliatory measures. It is in both of our best interests to resolve any disputes or concerns through open and constructive dialogue, rather than resorting to threats or eviction attempts. I also request that you provide a written response to this letter within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 days] acknowledging your understanding of my concerns and commitment to refraining from any further retaliatory actions. This documentation will serve as an important record of our agreement moving forward. Should you fail to comply with these requests, I may have no choice but to seek legal remedies available to me under the Florida Landlord and Tenant Act. I genuinely hope that it does not come to that and trust that we can resolve these issues amicably. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response.
