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.
[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Concern Regarding Landlord's Unlawful Self-Help to Gain Possession Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding an incident that occurred on [Date] which I believe constitutes an unlawful self-help strategy on your part to gain possession of the rental property located at [Rental Property Address], which I currently occupy as a tenant. Firstly, I would like to bring to your attention the incident that took place on [Date]. On this day, I arrived home to find that the locks to the rental property had been changed without any prior notice or consent. As a result, I was denied access to my rented premises, disrupting my peaceful enjoyment and significantly inconveniencing me. This action is a clear violation of my rights as a tenant under the laws of the State of Michigan and goes against the terms of our lease agreement. Furthermore, I would like to highlight that according to the Revised Judicature Act of Michigan (Section 554.291 et seq.), a landlord is prohibited from resorting to self-help measures to repossess a property without first obtaining a court order. Engaging in such actions is not only illegal but also undermines the trust and cooperation that should exist between a landlord and a tenant. As a tenant, I expect to be treated fairly and in accordance with the law. I understand that issues may arise between landlords and tenants, but it is essential to address such matters through the appropriate legal channels rather than resorting to self-help measures. I kindly request that you cease any further attempts to gain possession of the rental property through unlawful means. Furthermore, I would appreciate your response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] to discuss this matter and find a reasonable solution. If I do not receive a response or if the unlawful conduct persists, I may have no other option but to seek legal recourse and report the incident to the appropriate authorities. In the meantime, I would like to maintain open lines of communication so that we can amicably resolve this matter, upholding the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved. I believe that together, we can resolve this issue without further intervention. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name]
