Subject: Concerns About Illegal Entry by Landlord — Urgent Action Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits.

I believe it is essential to address this issue promptly to ensure the peaceful and lawful tenancy that we both seek within the boundaries of Renton, Washington. First and foremost, I would like to express my appreciation for your previous cooperation and prompt response to any maintenance or repair requests in the past. I assure you that my intention is not to create unnecessary inconvenience or disrupt the harmonious landlord-tenant relationship we have maintained thus far. However, the incident I am about to describe raises serious concerns that I must prioritize for the sake of both parties' rights and obligations. On [date], at approximately [time], I was startled to discover that someone had unlawfully entered my rented premises in my absence. Upon entering, I noticed that several personal items had been tampered with and potentially compromised, violating both my rights as a tenant and my reasonable expectation for privacy and security. It is worth noting that there were no prior requests, notice, or valid reasons for such entry under the Washington State Landlord-Tenant Act. As a responsible tenant, who has complied with all the terms and conditions of the lease agreement, I never anticipated or authorized unauthorized visits or entry.

Considering the seriousness of this incident, I kindly request the following actions be taken promptly to address the issue and restore the peace, privacy, and trust associated with our tenancy: 1. Written Explanation: I insist on receiving a written explanation regarding the circumstances leading to the unauthorized entry, including the date, time, and purpose of such intrusion. Understanding the reason behind this incident will assist in assessing the potential risks and necessary steps to prevent a recurrence. 2. Enhanced Security Measures: Given the violation of my privacy and potential compromise of my personal belongings, I recommend discussing and implementing enhanced security measures to prevent unauthorized access in the future. This may include adjusting locks, reinforcing windows, or installing security cameras with both our consent. 3. Execution of Lease Agreement: I request reviewing and signing an updated lease agreement that explicitly outlines the expectations and rights of both parties regarding entry and privacy. This will reinforce our commitment to maintaining respectful and transparent communication throughout our tenancy. 4. Compensation for Damages: I anticipate receiving adequate compensation or reimbursement for any damages, if applicable, resulting from the unauthorized entry. This may include the repair or replacement of personal belongings affected by the intrusion or any associated costs incurred by this incident. I trust you share my concern regarding this serious breach of privacy and unlawful intrusion. I believe addressing this issue promptly and amicably is in our mutual interest to uphold our respective obligations and ensure a peaceful landlord-tenant relationship. Furthermore, I kindly request your immediate attention in addressing the matters raised above, and I expect to receive a response from you within [reasonable timeframe]. Furthermore, I am eager to resolve this matter efficiently, seeking a favorable outcome for both parties involved. Thank you for taking the time to consider and address the concerns expressed in this letter.
