Subject: Urgent Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services — Palm Beach, Florida Tenant to Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address an issue that has recently arisen regarding a concerning decrease in services within my rented property located in beautiful Palm Beach, Florida. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for your prompt attention to any maintenance requests and general upkeep of the premises in the past. This has contributed to making my residency here enjoyable and comfortable. However, I have noticed a recent decline in the level of services provided, which has become a cause of great concern and inconvenience. Upon careful assessment, it has come to my attention that this decrease in services appears to be in response to my legitimate complaints and requests regarding certain property-related issues. By retaliating through diminished services, I believe you are neglecting your responsibility as a landlord to maintain a habitable and safe living environment.

Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease any retaliatory decrease in services. Restoring the level of services to their previous state is crucial not only for my comfort and well-being as a tenant but also for the overall integrity and reputation of the property. Failure to comply with this request may leave me with no choice but to take appropriate legal action to protect my rights as stipulated by the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. I believe it is in both of our best interests to resolve this matter amicably and without resorting to such measures. Should you require specific details or evidence regarding the decreased services, I am prepared to provide a comprehensive account of the instances where there has been a noticeable decline. However, I sincerely hope that it does not come to that. Maintaining a positive and cooperative relationship between tenant and landlord is of utmost importance, and I trust we can find a mutually beneficial resolution.
