I also ask that you address and rectify any damages or losses incurred as a result of your actions. Furthermore, I would appreciate open communication to resolve this matter amicably and ensure that our landlord-tenant relationship remains harmonious moving forward. I suggest that we schedule a meeting to discuss these concerns at your earliest convenience. If, however, this matter is not resolved promptly, I may have no choice but to seek legal recourse to protect my rights and hold you responsible for any damages caused.
