Description

This multi-state form covers the subject matter described in the form's title.This is a letter written by the Tenant to the Landlord explaining that the law generally provides that as Landlord he/she may regain possession of the leased premises in accordance with the terms of the lease by Tenant surrendering possession, or by appropriate court action, or based on Tenant's abandonment of the property. This letter is designed to put Landlord on notice that he/she is not permitted to use other illegal means to gain repossession of the premises. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost concern regarding the circumstances of my tenancy at [Property Address]. It has come to my attention that you have resorted to unlawful self-help practices in order to gain possession of the premises, which I believe is in violation of my rights as a tenant under the laws and regulations governing landlord-tenant relationships in the state of New Mexico. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize the importance of a fair and equitable landlord-tenant relationship, which should be based on mutual respect and adherence to the laws in place to protect both parties. As a tenant, I am entitled to certain rights, including the right to the peaceful enjoyment of the property I am leasing from you. Unfortunately, recent events have made me question your commitment to upholding these rights. Specifically, I would like to highlight the following instances that I believe constitute unlawful self-help practices on your part: 1. Unauthorized Entry: On [date], I discovered that you had entered the property without providing any prior notice or obtaining my consent. It is essential to remember that as a tenant, I have the right to privacy and expect that my personal space will be respected. This unauthorized entry not only intrudes upon my privacy but also raises concerns regarding the security of my belongings. 2. Disruption of Utilities: On [date], I discovered that you had intentionally disrupted essential utilities such as water, electricity, or gas supply to the premises. This blatant act of self-help not only inconveniences me but also exposes you to potential liability, as interfering with utilities is strictly prohibited by New Mexico landlord-tenant laws. 3. Property Removal: On [date], I noticed that certain items, which were rightfully mine and part of the property I am renting, were removed without my consent. Such actions infringe upon my rights as a tenant and may be construed as an attempt to gain possession through unlawful means, which is strictly prohibited by New Mexico law. Furthermore, I would like to remind you that New Mexico law provides tenants with legal remedies in the event of unlawful self-help practices by a landlord. Pursuant to [specific New Mexico Code(s) and section(s)], I may be entitled to seek damages, injunctive relief, and even terminate the lease agreement if these actions persist. In light of the above concerns, I kindly request that you cease all unlawful self-help practices immediately. I expect that you will respect my rights as a tenant, including the right to be informed of any property access, the uninterrupted provision of utilities, and the preservation of my personal property. I strongly urge you to rectify this situation promptly and restore the trust and integrity that should exist between a landlord and tenant. Furthermore, I trust that you will take this matter seriously and ensure that such unlawful actions will not be repeated in the future. Please be aware that I am keeping a record of all incidents and communications related to this matter. If necessary, I may seek legal advice and take appropriate action to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution that upholds the principles of fairness, legality, and respect in our landlord-tenant relationship. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address] Keywords: New Mexico, letter, tenant, landlord, unlawful self-help, gain possession, unauthorized entry, disruption of utilities, property removal, legal remedies, New Mexico Code, damages, injunctive relief, terminate lease agreement, property access, provision of utilities, personal property, rectify, trust, integrity, fairness, legality, respect, swift resolution.
