Subject: Official Complaint: Illegal Entry by Landlord — Urgent Action Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you today to express my concerns and utmost dissatisfaction regarding the recent occurrence of illegal entry into my rented premises at [Address of Property] in Pearland, Texas on [Date of Incident]. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that I greatly value my privacy and expect it to be respected at all times within the boundaries of the tenancy agreement. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that you, as the landlord, have violated my rights by unlawfully entering my rented property without providing any prior notice or obtaining my consent. This incident has left me feeling deeply disturbed and violated, questioning the sense of security and trust that should be inherent to a landlord-tenant relationship. According to Texas Property Code Title 8, Chapter 92, Subchapter B, Section 92.0081, a landlord must provide a reasonable notice period to the tenant before entering the premises, unless there is an emergency. The purpose of this notice requirement is to afford tenants the opportunity to prepare their dwelling, ensure their personal belongings are secure, and maintain the privacy they are entitled to. It is my duty as a responsible tenant to inform you that your actions are in direct violation of the law governing landlord-tenant relationships in Texas. I kindly request that you familiarize yourself with the applicable laws to avoid potential legal repercussions for both parties involved. Moreover, such unauthorized entry not only infringes upon my right to privacy but also has the potential to cause psychological distress and anxiety. As a direct result of this intrusion, I have been left feeling uncomfortable and uneasy in my own home. This breach of trust has created an environment of uncertainty, hindering my ability to enjoy the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the premises as stipulated by the lease agreement. I kindly request that you take immediate corrective action to rectify this matter and assure me that illegal entry will not occur in the future. Specifically, I urge you to: 1. Apologize for the unauthorized entry and provide a detailed explanation as to why it occurred. 2. Commit to adhering strictly to the Texas Property Code, particularly regarding the provision of reasonable notice before entering the premises. 3. Institute measures to prevent any recurrence of unlawful entry, such as enhancing communication protocols between yourself and the maintenance staff. 4. Compensate for any damages, losses, or distress caused as a result of the illegal entry. 5. Provide written assurance within [reasonable timeframe, typically 10-14 days] that these measures have been implemented and this matter has been resolved. Please be aware that if no meaningful steps are taken to address my concerns promptly, I will have no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me, including filing a complaint with the relevant authorities and seeking appropriate compensation for damages incurred. I sincerely hope that resolution can be achieved quickly, amicably, and in the best interest of both parties. Pearland, Texas is a community built on trust and respect, values I believe we share. I trust you will take this matter seriously and act responsibly to reestablish the trust that has been broken. I kindly request your written response to this letter within [reasonable timeframe, typically 7-10 days] to ensure that we can resolve this matter swiftly, transparently, and without further escalation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
