[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to address a concerning issue that has recently arisen regarding the quality of services provided as a tenant at [rental property address]. It has come to my attention that there has been a retaliatory decrease in the level of services and amenities typically provided to tenants. First and foremost, I would like to express my utmost gratitude for the services that have been offered in the past. However, it has become evident that certain services and amenities, which were once part of the lease agreement, are no longer being fulfilled. This sudden decrease has created a less-than-optimal living environment and has negatively impacted my ability to enjoy the premises as intended. Specifically, the following services have been noticeably affected: 1. Maintenance and Repairs: Regular maintenance, prompt and efficient handling of repair requests, and the general upkeep of the property have significantly declined. It is important to maintain a habitable living environment to ensure the well-being and satisfaction of all tenants. 2. Security Measures: The security measures implemented at the property, such as broken locks or malfunctioning surveillance cameras, have not been adequately addressed. This compromises the safety and peace of mind of the tenants, which is of utmost importance. 3. Common Area Maintenance: The upkeep and cleanliness of common areas, including hallways, parking lots, and shared facilities, have deteriorated. This not only reflects poorly on the property's overall appearance but also affects the overall quality of living for all tenants. I want to emphasize that according to [Indiana State Code, relevant law or local housing regulations], retaliatory acts to decrease services due to a tenant's legitimate complaint is unlawful. I believe this decrease in services is a direct result of my recent communication regarding [state the nature of the complaint/s]. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease the retaliatory decrease in services and promptly reinstate the services and amenities agreed upon in the lease agreement. I trust that you will take swift action to resolve this matter and restore the living conditions to their previous state. Should these issues persist or if no action is taken to rectify the situation, I may have no choice but to explore my legal remedies and report the matter to the appropriate local housing authority. I hope it does not come to this, as I would prefer to resolve the matter amicably and continue enjoying my residence at [rental property address]. Please consider this letter as an official notice to cease the retaliatory decrease in services. I expect a response within [reasonable timeframe, usually 10-14 days] acknowledging the receipt of this letter and outlining the corrective measures to be taken. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve this issue promptly and amicably.
