[Your Name] [Your Current Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Current Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to express my concerns regarding recent actions and conversations that have taken place between us. It has come to my attention that there have been retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction against me in response to legitimate complaints or actions made as a tenant. I would like to make it absolutely clear that such actions are in direct violation of my rights as a tenant under both federal and state laws, including the Missouri Tenant's Rights Act. Retaliation against a tenant for exercising their lawful rights or for making legitimate complaints about the rental unit or its conditions is strictly prohibited. To avoid any further misunderstandings, conflicts, or potential legal actions, I hereby formally request that you cease all retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction against me immediately. I expect and demand that you respect my rights as a tenant and fulfill your obligations as a landlord. If you fail to comply with this request and continue with any form of retaliation, I will have no choice but to take appropriate legal action to enforce my rights as a tenant. Such actions may include but are not limited to filing a complaint with the local housing authority, seeking legal counsel, or, if necessary, taking the matter to court. As a responsible tenant who has always paid rent on time and abided by the terms of the lease agreement, I believe it is in both our best interests to maintain a respectful and mutually beneficial landlord-tenant relationship. I hope that we can resolve this matter promptly and amicably to avoid any unnecessary conflict or legal proceedings. Please confirm in writing within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] that you have received and understood this notice, and that you will cease all retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction against me. Failure to respond or to comply with this request will further indicate your unwillingness to cooperate and may be considered evidence of your retaliatory intent. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that we can address and resolve these concerns promptly. I look forward to your timely response.
