This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord in which Tenant claims that Landlord's failure to abide by the continuing requirements of the Lease Agreement by denying Tenant certain services is retaliation for some action initiated by Tenant. This letter provides notice to Landlord that such retaliatory action is in breach of the lease agreement and may constitute a further violation of the law.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a tenant of [property address] in Topeka, Kansas, to express my concerns regarding a recent decrease in services. It has been brought to my attention that the decrease could be retaliatory in nature, and I kindly request that you take immediate steps to address this issue. As per our rental agreement, I am entitled to certain amenities and services which contribute to my living experience in the property. These include [list specific services affected, such as maintenance, repairs, pest control, security, or any other relevant services]. However, I have noticed a substantial decline in the quality and frequency of these services over the past [time period]. This noticeable decrease in services coincides with my recent request for [additional repairs/maintenance/any other tenant action] on [date]. The timing of this decrease raises concerns of retaliation, which, as you are aware, is strictly prohibited under Topeka, Kansas law and a violation of tenants' rights. I want to emphasize that this letter serves as a formal notice and demand for your immediate action to cease any retaliatory decrease in services. It is my expectation that you promptly restore the services to their previous standards and continue to provide them diligently throughout the remainder of my tenancy. Please be advised that retaliatory actions, such as the decrease in services experienced, carry legal consequences. If the issue is not resolved within [reasonable time period, e.g., 10 business days], I may be compelled to pursue legal remedies available to me under Topeka, Kansas's landlord-tenant laws. These remedies may include but are not limited to filing a formal complaint with the appropriate local housing authority or seeking legal counsel to protect my rights as a tenant. However, it is my strong belief that open communication and resolution can prevent any further escalation. I kindly request a meeting to discuss this matter in person or through a phone call, wherein we can reach a mutually satisfactory resolution. Please confirm receipt of this letter and indicate your intentions to address the issues raised. I recommend maintaining written documentation of our correspondence for future reference. I look forward to your prompt response and cooperation in resolving this matter. Thank you for your attention to this important issue. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
