This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State.This is a letter written by the Tenant to the Landlord explaining that the law generally provides that as Landlord he/she may regain possession of the leased premises in accordance with the terms of the lease by Tenant surrendering possession, or by appropriate court action, or based on Tenant's abandonment of the property. This letter is designed to put Landlord on notice that he/she is not permitted to use other illegal means to gain repossession of the premises.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning issue that has recently come to my attention regarding our rental agreement at [address]. It has come to my knowledge that you have been engaging in unlawful self-help measures in an attempt to gain possession of the premises. This letter serves as a formal complaint regarding your actions, which I believe are a direct violation of my rights as a tenant under the legal framework of Wichita, Kansas. First and foremost, I must stress that as a tenant, I have certain legal protections guaranteed by both federal and state laws. These rights ensure that as long as I am in good standing with my rental obligations, you are obligated to honor the lease agreement and abide by the proper eviction procedures outlined by Wichita, Kansas laws. Unlawful self-help refers to actions taken by a landlord without following due process or obtaining a court order to gain possession of the rental property. Some instances of unlawful self-help can include: 1. Lockouts: A landlord may not change the locks, forcefully remove me from the property, or deny me access to the premises without following proper eviction procedures through the court system. 2. Utility Disruptions: Disrupting essential services, such as electricity, gas, or water, to force me out of the property is also considered unlawful self-help. I have the right to expect these services to be maintained throughout my tenancy. 3. Removing Personal Belongings: As a tenant, I have the right to peacefully enjoy the use of the rental property. Removing my personal belongings or interfering with my possession of the premises without following appropriate legal processes is strictly prohibited. 4. Threats and Harassment: Any form of intimidation, threats, or harassment towards me in an attempt to coerce me to vacate the premises is not only unlawful but also unethical. I expect a respectful and professional relationship between a landlord and tenant. It is important to note that utilizing unlawful self-help measures can result in serious legal consequences for the landlord, including penalties, fines, and potential civil liability. Consequently, I kindly request that you cease all aforementioned actions immediately and comply with the proper legal procedures if you wish to regain possession of the property. I strongly believe in resolving conflicts through open communication, and I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you. As a tenant, I am dedicated to fulfilling my obligations outlined in the lease agreement and maintaining a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. In closing, I ask that you respect my rights as a tenant and adhere to the established legal procedures should you wish to address any concerns or seek eviction. I hope we can resolve this matter in a fair and lawful manner. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
