As per my understanding, retaliatory eviction refers to the unlawful practice of a landlord taking retaliatory measures against a tenant for exercising their legal rights or complaining about issues that affect their health, safety, or well-being within the rental property. I firmly assert that my previous actions, including asserting my rights within the confines of the law, do not give you the right to threaten eviction or engage in any form of retaliatory eviction.

This statute clearly states that any conduct on your part, taken in an attempt to retaliate against me for lawful complaints or actions, is in direct violation of the law. As a tenant, I have the right to a safe, habitable living environment, and I trust that you, as the landlord, will honor this right. To maintain a positive and harmonious landlord-tenant relationship, I kindly request that you cease all retaliatory threats towards eviction or any forms of retaliatory eviction. I firmly believe that it is in both our interests to resolve any disagreements or concerns through open communication and proactive problem-solving. I urge you to reconsider your course of action and remind you that it is within our mutual interest to seek a peaceful resolution to any outstanding issues.
