This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord requesting that in the future, Landlord may only enter the premises with prior written notice to Tenant, and only at a reasonable time, agreeable to both parties. The only exception would be in the case of an emergency posing an immediate danger to health or property.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to address a concerning issue that I recently discovered — your illegal entry into my rented property at [address]. As a tenant, I believe it is important for both parties to respect each other's rights and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship. Firstly, I want to reiterate my appreciation for your prompt and reliable response to any maintenance or repair issues that I have reported during my tenure at this property. However, it has come to my attention that on [specific date(s)], you entered my rented unit without providing any prior notice or seeking my permission. This act not only violates my rights but also breaches the terms of our rental agreement. According to the Texas Property Code, specifically Section 92.0081, a landlord must provide a written notice at least 24 hours in advance before entering a tenant's dwelling, except in emergency situations. This requirement ensures that tenants have privacy within their rented premises, allowing them to enjoy their personal space undisturbed. By entering my residence without proper notice, you have infringed upon my right to privacy and peaceful enjoyment of the property. I kindly request that you refrain from any further unauthorized entries. As a tenant, I believe it is crucial for you to understand the importance of adhering to the laws and regulations governing tenant-landlord relationships. In addition to the Texas Property Code, our rental agreement explicitly states that you are required to notify me in advance for any non-emergency maintenance visits or inspections. Failure to comply with this agreement further reinforces the breach of contract on your part. I kindly request that you provide a written explanation for your unauthorized entry and a commitment to respect my rights as a tenant going forward. It is my hope that we can rectify this situation and continue our landlord-tenant relationship in a respectful and mutually beneficial manner. Should you fail to address this matter promptly, I may be forced to seek legal assistance and file a complaint with the appropriate authorities. I trust that we can resolve this issue amicably, avoiding any unnecessary escalation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and your immediate commitment to respecting my rights as a tenant.
