Title: Palmdale, California: Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Illegal Entry Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding a recent incident where I believe there has been an illegal entry by you or your representatives into my rented property located at [Property Address]. As a tenant in good standing, it is my right to enjoy privacy, security, and the peaceful use of the premises without intrusion from unauthorized individuals. This letter serves as documentation of the incident and a formal request for resolution. Body: 1. Incident Description: On [Date], at approximately [Time], I discovered evidence suggesting that someone had entered my rented unit without my permission in my absence. [Give a detailed account of the incident, including any witnessed or reported activities, damaged property, missing items, etc. Attach any photographic evidence if available.] 2. Violation of Privacy and Resident Rights: Illegal entry into a tenant's unit without consent constitutes a clear violation of my privacy rights as stipulated by California law and the terms of our rental agreement. Such unauthorized access disrupts my peaceable enjoyment of the property and undermines my sense of security as a resident. 3. Legal Implications: Under California Civil Code § 1954, landlords are restricted from entering a tenant's unit unless certain circumstances are met (e.g., emergency, scheduled maintenance with proper notice, tenant's consent). Based on my knowledge, there were no justifiable reasons or prior notification to warrant your entry into the property on the mentioned date. This action can be interpreted as a trespass and a breach of our rental agreement, subjecting you to potential legal consequences. 4. Request for Immediate Action: Considering the seriousness of this incident, I kindly request that you take the following actions promptly: a) Acknowledge receipt of this letter and confirm your understanding of the alleged illegal entry. b) Provide an explanation for the unauthorized entry and any justifiable reasoning, if applicable. c) Take immediate steps to ensure that such unauthorized entries do not occur again, emphasizing the importance of abiding by the legal requirements regarding entry into tenants' units. d) Compensate for any damages or loss of personal property resulting from the unauthorized entry. e) Outline a plan to prevent a recurrence of this distressing incident, including implementing better security measures, addressing any breach in building security, and ensuring your representatives are aware of tenant privacy rights and legal requirements. Conclusion: I value the positive tenant-landlord relationship we have established thus far and genuinely believe this incident was an unfortunate oversight. However, I kindly request that you address this issue promptly, transparently, and ensure it does not reoccur in the future. I expect the matter to be resolved amicably, preserving our landlord-tenant relationship. Kindly respond to this letter no later than [Deadline] to avoid any escalation of the matter or necessary involvement from relevant authorities. I trust that we can find a mutually satisfactory resolution to this unfortunate incident. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
