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 bring a serious matter to your attention regarding allegations of unlawful self-help being used by you to gain possession of the property I am currently occupying at [property address] in High Point, North Carolina. Firstly, I want to establish that I have fulfilled all the obligations stipulated in the lease agreement between us. Monthly rent payments have consistently been made on time, and I have taken great care to maintain the property in a clean and habitable condition, in accordance with both state and local housing codes. Despite my adherence to these responsibilities, I have become aware of actions you have taken that constitute an abuse of your rights as a landlord. It has come to my attention that you have engaged in self-help measures in an unauthorized manner, attempting to forcibly enter the premises without providing prior notice or obtaining a court order, which is a clear violation of my tenant rights. This unlawful self-help behavior creates an unsafe and uncomfortable living environment for me, and it is imperative that we address this issue promptly to preserve the tenant-landlord relationship. I kindly request that you cease all further attempts to gain possession of the property through illegal means, such as changing locks, removing my personal belongings, or changing the utility services without proper notification. I believe it is in both of our interests to resolve this matter amicably and without resorting to legal action. As such, I request a meeting to discuss these concerns in person, at a mutually convenient time and place. This will provide us with an opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings or grievances that may exist. In the event that these unlawful self-help actions persist, I am prepared to seek legal counsel to protect my rights as a tenant and hold you accountable for your wrongful behavior. I sincerely hope that it will not come to that, as I would prefer to find a resolution that is fair, reasonable, and legal. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter within [reasonable timeframe, typically 7-10 days] to confirm your commitment to addressing this matter promptly. I urge you to take this matter seriously, as failure to do so may result in further legal action being taken against you. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your response and resolving these concerns without further escalation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information: Phone number, email address, etc.] Keywords: High Point North Carolina, tenant, landlord, unlawful self-help, gain possession, lease agreement, rent payments, property maintenance, state housing codes, local housing codes, tenant rights, illegal means, changing locks, removing personal belongings, changing utility services, legal action, meeting, wrongful behavior, legal counsel, fair resolution, reasonable timeframe, acknowledgment, escalation.
