Subject: Concerns Regarding Illegal Entry into Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring a matter of great concern to your attention regarding unauthorized entries into my rental property located at [Address], Alameda, California. As a tenant, I am entitled to peaceful and uninterrupted enjoyment of my rented space, as outlined in the lease agreement and protected by California law. Unfortunately, I have noticed multiple instances of your unauthorized entry into the premises without prior notice or valid reason, which constitutes a serious violation of my rights as a tenant. I kindly request that you cease these illegal entries immediately and respect the boundaries set forth in our lease agreement. It is important to emphasize that California law, specifically the California Civil Code Section 1954, clearly outlines the requirements for a landlord's entry into a rental unit. According to this law, the landlord must provide at least 24 hours' notice in writing before attempting to enter the property, except in cases of emergency or when the tenant grants permission for immediate entry. As an upstanding tenant, I have consistently abided by the terms of our agreement, performing my duties responsibly and understanding my rights as a tenant. Repeated unauthorized entries not only infringe upon my right to privacy but also create an atmosphere of insecurity and mistrust. Respectfully, I ask that you acknowledge the seriousness of this matter and rectify the situation promptly. To resolve this issue effectively and amicably, I suggest the following steps: 1. Immediate Cease-and-Desist: Cease all unauthorized entries into the rental property. Respect the boundaries we agreed upon and follow the legal protocol when needing access to the premises. 2. Written Apology: Provide a written apology for the past unauthorized entries, acknowledging the infringement of my rights as a tenant and expressing your commitment to respecting my privacy moving forward. 3. Improved Communication: Establish a clear line of communication, outlining appropriate channels for requesting entry and providing ample notice when access is required. This will help ensure mutual respect and understanding between landlord and tenant. By resolving this matter promptly and making a sincere effort to adhere to the legal requirements, we can avoid potential conflicts and maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. In the unfortunate event that these unauthorized entries persist or proper steps are not taken to rectify the situation, I may be compelled to exercise my legal rights to protect my privacy and seek further appropriate action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect a response within [reasonable time frame] so that we can swiftly resolve this issue and move forward as responsible and respectful parties under the terms of our agreement. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] Keywords: Alameda California, letter, tenant, landlord, illegal entry, unauthorized entries, rental property, lease agreement, rights, eviction, privacy, California law, California Civil Code Section 1954, notice, cease-and-desist, apology, communication, conflicts, legal rights, action.Subject: Concerns Regarding Illegal Entry into Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.
