Connecticut Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Landlord using Unlawful Self-Help to Gain Possession Subject: Strongly Objecting Landlord's Unlawful Self-Help Actions and Seeking Immediate Resolution Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent actions taken by you to unlawfully gain possession of the rental property I occupy at [property address]. These actions, commonly referred to as "self-help," are in direct violation of my legal rights as a tenant and have caused significant distress and inconvenience in my life. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize that self-help measures, which include changing locks, removing personal belongings, or forcefully entering the premises without proper legal procedures, are explicitly prohibited by Connecticut's landlord-tenant laws. As a tenant, I am entitled to certain rights, prime among them being the right to enjoy the property I am leasing without interference or harassment. Despite this, I have unequivocal evidence that you have engaged in such unlawful self-help actions. On [specific date(s)], I discovered that the locks had been changed without any prior notice or consent from me. Additionally, personal belongings, including important documents and valuables, were removed from the premises, causing me immense distress and concern for their safety. Such actions not only violate my rights as a tenant but also put you in direct breach of the lease agreement we have in place. I kindly request that you immediately cease any further self-help actions and restore the property to its previous state, including providing me with the necessary keys or access codes to regain entry. Furthermore, I insist that you promptly reimburse me for any damages caused to my personal belongings and cover the cost of any expenses incurred as a result of your self-help actions, such as temporary accommodation or replacement purchases. I must remind you that failure to comply with these demands may leave me with no choice but to seek legal remedies available to me, including reporting the matter to the authorities and pursuing legal action for unlawful eviction and damages. However, I believe that reaching an amicable resolution would be in the best interest of both parties involved. To facilitate this, I propose scheduling a meeting within the next seven (7) days to discuss the matter and find a fair solution that upholds both our rights and obligations under the law. I look forward to your prompt response and cooperation in resolving this matter to avoid any further escalation. Please provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] of receiving this letter. Your immediate attention to this issue is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
