Title: Addressing Illegal Entry: A Detailed Letter from Tenant to Landlord in Vacaville, California Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious concern that has recently arisen regarding illegal entry into my rented premises at [Rental Property Address] in Vacaville, California. As a tenant, I believe it is essential to establish and maintain a respectful and lawful relationship in accordance with California's tenant rights laws. 1. Unlawful Entry Incident Description: On [Date(s)], I have observed multiple instances where you or your representatives have gained unauthorized access to the premises without the required prior notice or my explicit permission. While I understand that certain situations may necessitate your entry, it is crucial to adhere to the legal obligations set forth under the California Civil Code, specifically Section 1954. 2. Violation of Tenant Rights and Legal Responsibilities: a) Right to Privacy: According to California law, tenants have the right to enjoy their rental unit with reasonable privacy. Frequent unauthorized entry violates this right and hinders my ability to feel safe and secure in my home. b) Prior Notice Requirement: California law mandates landlords to provide a minimum of 24 hours of advance written notice for non-emergency entries, except in exceptional cases where proper notice may not be feasible. c) Limited Entry Purposes: Landlords can only enter a rental unit for specific purposes, such as making necessary repairs, inspecting the premises, or in the event of emergencies. Random visits or entry without a valid reason constitutes an illegal act. 3. Impact on Tenant-Landlord Relationship: Such unauthorized entry incidents not only infringe upon my privacy and peace of mind but also breach the fundamental basis of our tenant-landlord relationship. I am confident that we can work together to resolve this issue amicably while upholding legal rights and responsibilities. 4. Requested Actions: In light of the above, I kindly request the following actions to rectify the situation promptly: a) Cease Illegal Entry: I urge you to immediately halt any form of unauthorized entry into the rented premises unless it constitutes an emergency or is conducted with proper prior notice. b) Prior Notice Assurance: Please ensure that all future entry attempts to comply with the legal requirement of providing a written notice at least 24 hours in advance. c) Discussion for Resolution: I propose scheduling a face-to-face meeting or a phone call to discuss this matter further, allowing us to find a practical solution that respects our respective rights and responsibilities as tenant and landlord. 5. Preserving Rights: Please be reminded that as a tenant, I reserve the right to exercise any legal remedies available, as provided by California law, for unauthorized entry violations. I look forward to hearing from you regarding these concerns and finding a mutually agreeable solution to ensure our tenancy proceeds with mutual respect for tenant rights and landlord responsibilities. Should you fail to address this issue promptly, I may have no choice but to seek legal counsel. I hope that will not be necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
