This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord in which Tenant claims that Landlord's failure to abide by the continuing requirements of the Lease Agreement by denying Tenant certain services is retaliation for some action initiated by Tenant. This letter provides notice to Landlord that such retaliatory action is in breach of the lease agreement and may constitute a further violation of the law.
[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a recent concern regarding the decrease in services provided by your property management team at [property address]. As a tenant who has diligently fulfilled all lease obligations and paid rent on time, I am disappointed to experience a decline in the quality and availability of essential services. I have noticed a significant decrease in the following services, which are outlined in our lease agreement: 1. Maintenance and repairs: The timely response to maintenance requests has significantly deteriorated. Matters that require immediate attention, such as plumbing issues and electrical faults, are being delayed for days or ignored entirely. 2. Security: The safety measures and security systems that were once adequately maintained are now falling into disarray. Broken locks, malfunctioning alarm systems, and unsecured entrances are compromising the overall security of the premises. 3. Common area upkeep: The cleanliness and general upkeep of the common areas, such as hallways, lobbies, and parking lots, are being neglected. Trash bins are overflowing, and basic maintenance activities like cleaning and landscaping are being sporadically performed, if at all. 4. Amenities: The amenities promised in our lease agreement, such as the gym, swimming pool, or clubhouse, have been closed without prior notice. These amenities were major contributing factors to my decision to lease this property originally. It is my understanding that these decreased services are a direct result of my legitimate exercise of my rights as a tenant, particularly my request for necessary repairs and highlighting issues that need attention. However, I would like to emphasize that as per the laws and regulations governing tenant-landlord relationships, retaliation of any kind for the exercise of rights is strictly prohibited. Therefore, I kindly request that you promptly cease this retaliatory decrease in services and restore the property to its previously agreed-upon state. I believe in maintaining a positive and respectful tenant-landlord relationship, and I hope that we can resolve this matter amicably. If the aforementioned services are not restored within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days], I may have no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me as a tenant in Arizona. I hope it doesn't come to that, and we can resolve this dispute without any further escalation. I am open to discussing this matter further and finding a mutually acceptable solution. Furthermore, I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] so that we can engage in constructive dialogue and resolve this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your positive response.
