I am writing to address an urgent matter regarding your recent actions that I believe may constitute retaliatory threats to evict or even a retaliatory eviction as a result of my legitimate exercise of tenant rights, as protected by the laws and regulations governing landlord-tenant relationships. Please be advised that this communication serves as a formal notice for you to cease and desist from engaging in such behavior immediately. I would like to remind you of my rights as a tenant under the Evansville, Indiana laws and regulations. As you are aware, Indiana Code Title 32, Article 31 governs landlord-tenant relationships in our state, and it is essential that all parties involved adhere to its provisions for a fair and lawful tenancy. In accordance with the aforementioned legislation, I have exercised my rights as a tenant by engaging in an action protected under the law, which has apparently provoked your threatening behavior. Whether it be filing complaints about repairs and maintenance issues, requesting reasonable accommodations, or advocating for my legal tenant rights, it is my prerogative to assert these rights without the fear of retaliation. Evansville, Indiana laws strictly prohibit any form of retaliation against a tenant for exercising their rights as protected by the statute. As a responsible landlord, I trust you are familiar with these provisions. Thus, I expect you to immediately cease any retaliatory actions towards me, including threats of eviction or initiating a retaliatory eviction. Should you fail to rectify this situation promptly, I am compelled to inform you that I will have no choice but to pursue all legal options available to protect my rights as a tenant, including but not limited to filing a complaint with the Indiana Tenant-Landlord Relations Division and seeking legal representation if necessary. I genuinely hope that it does not come to this, as it would only escalate the situation and incur unnecessary expenses for both parties involved. It is my sincere belief that open communication and mutual respect can resolve any disputes that may arise during the tenancy. I kindly request that we reestablish a respectful and professional relationship moving forward, ensuring that future interactions are free from any form of retaliation. I would appreciate a written response from you within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days from the date of this letter] acknowledging your receipt of this notice and confirming your commitment to cease any retaliatory actions. Furthermore, please provide assurance that my tenancy will no longer be subject to any unlawful retaliation in the future. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that we can address this situation amicably, allowing for a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
