Description

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 regarding your recent actions in attempting to gain possession of the rental property I currently occupy at [property address]. It has come to my attention that you have been engaging in unlawful self-help measures, which are not only in violation of our lease agreement but also against the laws of Cambridge, Massachusetts. First and foremost, I would like to remind you that as a landlord, it is your legal obligation to follow the proper legal channels when seeking possession of a rental property. Under the Massachusetts General Laws and the Cambridge landlord-tenant laws, you are required to adhere to specific procedures, including providing written notices and going through the appropriate legal process. Unfortunately, it seems that you have chosen to take matters into your own hands without proper authorization. This includes (but is not limited to) entering the premises without prior notice or consent, removing my personal belongings, changing the locks, or interrupting essential services such as electricity, water, or heat. These actions are clearly violations of my rights as a tenant and constitute unlawful self-help measures. I must express my disappointment and concern regarding your behavior, as it not only poses a significant inconvenience but also creates an atmosphere of insecurity and unease in my home. As a tenant, I have the right to enjoy the quiet and peaceful possession of the property without unnecessary disturbances. I kindly request that you immediately cease all unlawful self-help activities and adhere to the proper legal procedures should you still wish to pursue possession of the property. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. It is in both of our best interests to resolve this matter amicably and in compliance with the law. I urge you to reconsider your approach and engage in open communication to address any concerns or issues you may have. Together, we can find a resolution without resorting to unlawful means. I eagerly await your prompt response and corrective actions. Please be advised that any further unauthorized actions will be documented and used as evidence should this issue go to court. I hope we can settle this matter promptly and maintain a professional and respectful relationship. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
