Subject: Concerns Regarding Unauthorized Entry by Landlord — Urgent Attention Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss a matter that has been of great concern to me recently. It has come to my attention that on multiple occasions, you have entered my rented premises without obtaining my permission or providing any prior notice. I would like to bring this issue to your immediate attention in order to rectify this unauthorized entry and ensure that my rights as a tenant are respected. Firstly, as you are aware, under the laws governing landlord-tenant relationships in Antioch, California, tenants are afforded certain rights and protections, including the right to privacy and peaceful enjoyment of their rental property. California Civil Code Section 1954 clearly states that landlords must provide at least 24 hours' notice before entering the premises, except for emergencies or instances where the tenant has given specific consent. Unfortunately, in violation of this law, you have entered my rental unit on [date] without any notice or legitimate reason. This unauthorized entry has left me feeling highly unsettled and infringes upon my rights as a tenant. I must stress the importance of adhering to the legal requirements for entry, as your actions are disrupting my comfort and disturbing my privacy. I kindly request that you refrain from any future unauthorized entry into my rented premises. Under no circumstances should you attempt to access the property without providing reasonable notice, except in cases of genuine emergencies. This will ensure that my rights as a tenant and your obligations as a landlord are both upheld. In addition, I would like a written acknowledgement from you regarding the illegal entry incidents that have occurred. This acknowledgement should confirm that you understand your legal obligations as a landlord and will make the necessary changes to avoid any further breaches. If the unauthorized entries persist or if I do not receive a prompt response addressing this issue, I may have no choice but to seek legal action to protect my rights.
