[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of great concern regarding your recent behavior towards me as a tenant. It has come to my attention that there have been retaliatory threats to evict me or potential retaliatory eviction actions due to [state the reason or situation leading to your assumption of such acts]. I believe this type of behavior is both unjust and against the legal rights of tenants. As a responsible tenant, I have honored all lease provisions, paid my rent on time, and have taken good care of the property. I have always complied with the lease agreement and have been respectful towards you as my landlord. It is therefore disheartening to experience such intimidation tactics from you. Under Louisiana law, tenants are protected from retaliatory threats or evictions as prescribed in the Louisiana Revised Statutes, specifically Chapter 9, Section 3253. This statute guarantees that tenants have the right to live in a property free from retaliation for asserting their legal rights, withholding rent for legitimate reasons, or making complaints about necessary repairs. Retaliatory threats to evict or retaliatory evictions are illegal and can result in legal consequences for the landlord. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease and desist from any further retaliatory threats to evict me or engage in any retaliatory eviction actions. I strongly urge you to respect my rights as a tenant and abide by the terms of our lease agreement. If these retaliatory actions continue, I will be left with no choice but to seek legal remedies available to me under Louisiana law. This may include filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities, seeking injunctive relief, and pursuing monetary damages, if necessary. I hope it does not come to this, as it would be in our mutual interest to maintain a good landlord-tenant relationship. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 calendar days] to confirm that you have understood the seriousness of this matter and that you will refrain from any further retaliatory actions or threats towards me. Failure to respond or seeking further retaliatory actions will leave me with no option but to take the appropriate legal steps to protect my rights. I believe that open, honest, and respectful communication is key to resolving this issue amicably. If you have any concerns or grievances, I would be more than willing to address them in a constructive manner. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I hope that we can resolve this issue promptly and maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship. Sincerely, [Your Name] Keywords: Shreveport Louisiana, letter, tenant, landlord, notice, cease, retaliatory threats, retaliatory eviction, Louisiana Revised Statutes, rights, lease agreement, intimidation tactics, legal remedies, complaint, injunctive relief, damages, communication, positive relationship.
