This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord in which Tenant claims that Landlord's failure to abide by the continuing requirements of the Lease Agreement by denying Tenant certain services is retaliation for some action initiated by Tenant. This letter provides notice to Landlord that such retaliatory action is in breach of the lease agreement and may constitute a further violation of the law.
Subject: Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services Notice — Urgent Attention Required [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE TO CEASE RETALIATORY DECREASE IN SERVICES I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring a significant matter to your attention regarding a recent decrease in services at my rented premises located at [Your Address], Escondido, California. I have been your tenant since [Date of Tenancy Commencement] and have enjoyed a positive tenancy experience so far. However, I have noticed a sudden reduction in services provided by you in recent weeks, which I believe may be retaliatory in nature. As a responsible tenant, I have always honored my obligations by paying rent on time and respecting the terms of the lease agreement. Therefore, this sudden decline in services has left me concerned and compelled to address the issue. Specifically, I have experienced the following reductions in the services that I am entitled to as per our lease agreement: 1. [Describe the first reduction in services — e.g., On [Date], the on-site maintenance staff was reduced, leading to delays and inadequate response to repair requests within the stipulated time frame.] 2. [Describe the second reduction in services — e.g., On [Date], the regular cleaning schedule was interrupted, resulting in an accumulation of debris and an unclean environment throughout the common areas.] 3. [Describe any additional reduction in services, if applicable.] It is important to note that these diminished services not only breach our lease agreement but also undermine my quality of life as a tenant. I believe that the decrease in services may be in response to my reasonable requests made prior to the reduction, such as bringing maintenance issues to your attention or fulfilling my right to peaceable enjoyment of the premises. Retaliatory actions, such as the decrease in services, are unlawful under California law and violate my rights as a tenant. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease all retaliatory actions and reinstate the full range of services that were previously provided without interruption. Additionally, please ensure that future rent or lease-related matters are handled in a professional and non-retaliatory manner. I sincerely hope that this matter can be resolved amicably without further action. However, I must inform you that, under the California Civil Code Section 1942.5, continued retaliatory actions may leave me with no choice but to seek legal remedies, filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities, and pursuing any necessary legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 calendar days] with a written statement providing your assurance that the retaliatory decrease in services will cease immediately, and that you will take prompt action to reinstate the previously provided services. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a positive resolution of these concerns. Should you require any further information or wish to discuss this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided contact details above. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Signature] Enclosure: None.Subject: Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services Notice — Urgent Attention Required [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE TO CEASE RETALIATORY DECREASE IN SERVICES I hope this letter finds you well.
