[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning situation that has recently taken place and request your immediate attention in resolving it. This letter serves as a notice to cease any retaliatory threats to evict or retaliate against me as a tenant in [Property Address], located in Scottsdale, Arizona. It has come to my attention that my previous complaints regarding urgent repairs and maintenance issues have been met with threats of eviction or actions that may be seen as retaliatory eviction. These threats not only violate my rights as a tenant but also contravene the landlord's legal obligations. I must emphasize that retaliating against a tenant for asserting their rights or making legitimate complaints is strictly prohibited under Arizona law. Pursuant to the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, landlords are obligated to maintain the premises in a habitable condition and respond promptly to repair requests. Moreover, Section 33-1381 of the Arizona Revised Statutes prohibits retaliatory conduct, including threatening eviction or deliberately taking punitive actions against a tenant in response to their actions that are within their legal rights. I kindly request that you cease all retaliatory threats and actions immediately. I expect to be treated fairly and respectfully as a tenant. Furthermore, I am committed to fulfilling my responsibilities, including timely rental payments and adherence to the terms of our lease agreement. Furthermore, I anticipate the same level of commitment from you as my landlord, including addressing repairs and maintenance in a timely manner. Furthermore, please be aware that retaliatory actions, including eviction, may result in legal consequences for the landlord, including monetary damages, attorney fees, and other remedies available under the law. I hope it does not come to that, and we can find an amicable resolution to this matter. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request a written response from you within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 days] confirming that you will cease all retaliatory threats and actions as outlined in this letter. Additionally, please provide a timeline for addressing the repairs and maintenance issues previously reported. Should you fail to address the above concerns within the given timeframe, I may seek legal advice and appropriate remedies available to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that we can reach a resolution in a mutually respectful manner. As a responsible tenant, I value a healthy landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for attending to this matter promptly. I look forward to your prompt response.
