Wilmington North Carolina Letter from Tenant to Landlord ā Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services [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 Decrease in Services Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring a matter of utmost concern to your attention regarding the sudden decrease in certain essential services within the leased premises at [your address]. I must assert that this decrease in services is not only inconvenient but also potentially violates my rights as a tenant under the laws of North Carolina. As per my lease agreement and North Carolina landlord-tenant laws, I, as a tenant, am entitled to certain rights and expectations regarding the services and amenities provided. The lease agreement also mandates that the landlord is responsible for ensuring the premises are in compliance with all applicable housing codes and maintaining the necessary services to meet those standards. It has come to my attention that there has been a retaliatory decrease in services within the property, specifically in the following areas: 1. [Example: Sudden discontinuation of regular garbage collection] 2. [Example: Security services being reduced, leading to increased safety concerns] 3. [Example: Maintenance requests being ignored or delayed unreasonably] These observations and experiences lead me to believe that these service reductions are a direct result of my recent legitimate complaints regarding repairs and maintenance issues within the property. Such retaliatory actions are not only illegal under North Carolina law but also undermine the trust and cooperation necessary for a harmonious tenant-landlord relationship. Please note that I have documented these service reductions and gathered evidence to support my claim. I kindly request you to immediately cease any retaliatory actions, ensure the restoration of the services to their previous level, and address any outstanding maintenance requests without further delay. If this retaliatory decrease in services continues or is not adequately addressed within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] of receiving this letter, I may be forced to explore legal remedies available to me under North Carolina law. I sincerely hope it does not come to that, as I prefer an amicable resolution to this matter. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you will take prompt and appropriate action to rectify this situation and maintain the necessary services provided under our lease agreement. Furthermore, I would appreciate your written response to this notice within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days], confirming your acknowledgement and intended actions moving forward. Thank you for your immediate attention and understanding in this matter. I believe that our cooperation in resolving this issue would help foster a positive and mutually beneficial tenant-landlord relationship going forward. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
