[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 Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction per RSA 540:13 Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring a serious matter to your attention regarding the recent threats you have made, which I perceive as retaliatory actions due to my exercise of my legal rights as a tenant. This notice serves as an official communication in accordance with RSA 540:13, and it is crucial that you understand the gravity of these allegations. Under New Hampshire law, specifically RSA 540:13, retaliatory actions by a landlord against a tenant for asserting their legal rights are strictly prohibited. It is my belief that your threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction, as expressed both verbally and in writing, amount to such prohibited actions. I kindly request that you cease immediately from any further retaliatory conduct towards me, whether direct or indirect. I initially raised concerns about a series of unresolved maintenance issues within the property, which is well within my rights as a tenant. It is disheartening that instead of addressing my concerns in a timely and appropriate manner, you have chosen to issue threats of eviction or carry out retaliatory eviction, making it clear that these actions are in direct response to my legitimate complaints. As a responsible tenant, I fulfilled all my obligations under the lease agreement, including paying rent on time and keeping the premises well-maintained. I expect that you, as the landlord, uphold your end of the agreement by addressing all maintenance issues promptly and in accordance with the applicable laws. Failure to immediately cease your retaliatory actions will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal remedies available under the law, which may include filing a complaint with the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, seeking an injunction against retaliatory eviction, and initiating a legal action seeking damages for any harm caused by your conduct. I strongly urge you to reconsider your current course of action and comply with your legal obligations as a landlord. Please provide written confirmation within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 days] from the date of this letter, assuring me that all retaliatory actions will cease immediately. Failure to do so will demonstrate your continued intention to engage in prohibited conduct, and I will be compelled to seek the appropriate legal remedies available to me as a tenant in the state of New Hampshire. I trust that you will choose to rectify this matter promptly, and we can maintain a mutually respectful and professional relationship moving forward. Thank you for your immediate attention to this notice, and I am confident that a resolution can be reached to avoid any further escalation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
