Title: Allentown, Pennsylvania Letter from Tenant to Landlord Containing Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue that has recently arisen regarding my tenancy at [address]. It has come to my attention that there have been several instances of retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction, which I strongly believe are in violation of my rights as a tenant. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and ensure that our landlord-tenant relationship remains positive. Therefore, I kindly request that you cease all retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction, as outlined in the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act and pursuant to the terms of our lease agreement. Under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act, it is essential to emphasize that retaliatory actions against a tenant for exercising their legal rights or reporting code violations are strictly prohibited. In light of this, I would like to remind you of the following: 1. Right to a Safe and Habitable Dwelling: As a tenant, I have the right to a safe and habitable living environment, free from any health or safety hazards. Any actions that may hamper or negatively affect my health and well-being may be considered as retaliation. 2. Right to Quiet Enjoyment: I have the right to peacefully enjoy my rented premises without interference or harassment. Retaliatory actions that disrupt my quiet enjoyment may be regarded as a breach of my rights. 3. Freedom from Retaliation: The Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act explicitly prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants who exercise their rights, including making complaints to code enforcement agencies or reporting violations of state or local laws. These actions include, but are not limited to, threatening eviction or conducting retaliatory evictions. Furthermore, I urge you to consider the potential legal consequences of engaging in retaliatory actions, as outlined in Pennsylvania law. Such actions can result in penalties, including substantial monetary fines and the possibility of being held liable for any damages I may incur as a direct result of the retaliation. I believe that it would be in both of our interests to maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. Therefore, I kindly request that you acknowledge this letter and provide reassurance that you will immediately cease any retaliatory threats or acts of eviction. Please respond to this letter within [reasonable timeframe] with written confirmation of your commitment to comply with the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act and your intention to rectify this matter promptly.
