[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State ZIP] Subject: Concerns Regarding Illegal Entry by Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious matter that needs immediate attention regarding your entry into my rented premises at [Your Address] without proper notice or legal justification. As a tenant, I am entitled to my privacy and the peaceful enjoyment of my rental unit, as guaranteed by the laws and regulations governing landlord-tenant relationships in New Jersey. According to the New Jersey Tenants' Rights Guide, landlords are required to follow specific procedures when accessing a tenant's rented premises. These procedures are in place to safeguard the tenant's rights and maintain a mutually respectful landlord-tenant relationship. It has come to my attention that you have been entering my apartment without providing prior notice, which is both a violation of my rights and a breach of our lease agreement. Under New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 46:8-21.1), you must provide at least 24 hours' notice in writing stating your intention to enter the premises. This notice must include the date, approximate time, reason for entry, and provide a reasonable opportunity for me to be present during the entry. By disregarding these legal requirements, you have undermined my right to privacy and disrupted my daily routines. I kindly request that you immediately cease any further unauthorized entry into my apartment and adhere to the proper protocols laid out by state regulations. Furthermore, I request that you provide written assurance within the next five business days, outlining your commitment to respecting my privacy and following all legal procedures pertaining to accessing my rental unit. Please be aware that illegal entry by a landlord is a serious matter, and I may seek legal remedies available to me should this issue persist. It is my hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and restore a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a satisfactory resolution within the specified time frame. Please consider this letter as an official notice expressing my concerns and documenting the instances of your unauthorized entry. Sincerely, [Your Name]
