[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning issue that has recently arisen in our tenant-landlord relationship. It has come to my attention that there have been explicit threats made by you regarding eviction, which I believe could be perceived as retaliatory in nature. I am deeply concerned about the potential consequences and implications of such actions. As a diligent tenant, I have always strived to fulfill my responsibilities as outlined in our lease agreement. I have paid my rent promptly, maintained the property to the best of my ability, and respected the rules and regulations set forth by both the lease and the Rancho Cucamonga community. Therefore, it is essential for us to maintain a productive and respectful environment for the duration of our tenancy. It is my understanding that retaliatory eviction or any form of retaliatory threat is strictly prohibited under California law, specifically under Civil Code Section 1942.5. This law obliges landlords to refrain from retaliatory actions against tenants who have exercised their rights, such as reporting code violations, requesting necessary repairs, or organizing tenant associations. In light of this, I kindly request that you immediately cease any retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction tactics. Such actions not only create unnecessary stress and anxiety for me as a tenant, but they also undermine the principles of a healthy tenant-landlord relationship. Instead, I encourage open communication and discussion to resolve any issues that may have contributed to this situation. I would like to remind you that an amicable resolution to this matter will be beneficial to both parties involved. However, if these retaliatory actions persist, I will be left with no choice but to seek all available legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant under California law. In conclusion, I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and expect a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] acknowledging your commitment to cease all retaliatory threats or actions. If no response is received within the indicated time frame, I will have no option but to consider alternative actions to protect my rights. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. I believe that addressing this issue promptly will facilitate a positive tenant-landlord relationship moving forward.
