This is a form from a Tenant to Landlord in response to Landlord's threat to evict Tenant from the premises.

Subject: Urgent Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction — Miramar, Florida [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: 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 pressing matter that requires your immediate attention regarding ongoing retaliatory threats to evict and potentially retaliatory eviction. I would like to draw your attention to the actions that have been taking place, which I find to be in clear violation of the tenant's rights protected under Florida law. [Mention the specific incident(s) or actions taken by the landlord that constitute retaliatory threats or eviction.] As a responsible tenant, I have fulfilled all my obligations outlined in the lease agreement. However, despite being compliant and cooperative, I have been subjected to unnecessary intimidation and retaliation. Such actions are both unlawful and unethical, and I must insist that they cease immediately. Under Florida Statute 83.64, retaliatory conduct against tenants, including threats of eviction or eviction itself, following the tenant's exercise of their rights, is strictly prohibited. Some examples of rights exercised by tenants that could trigger retaliatory threats or eviction include: 1. Reporting violations of housing codes or health hazards. 2. Joining or organizing a tenant union. 3. Asserting one's rights as guaranteed by the lease agreement or Florida law. 4. Making legitimate complaints regarding maintenance, repairs, or habitability issues. 5. Engaging in any other lawful activities protected under Florida tenant laws. I want to take this opportunity to remind you that as a landlord, you have a legal and moral obligation to provide a safe and habitable living environment for your tenants. I urge you to reconsider any retaliatory measures you may be contemplating and instead, focus on resolving any legitimate concerns I may have raised previously. Failure to comply with this notice to cease retaliatory threats to evict or retaliatory eviction will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I sincerely hope it does not come to this, as I believe it is in both our best interests to maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. To resolve any existing conflicts or concerns, I kindly request that you schedule a meeting within the next 10 calendar days to address the issue at hand. During this meeting, we can discuss any grievances and work towards an amicable resolution, ensuring a mutually respectful and lawful relationship going forward. Please confirm your receipt of this letter by signing and returning the enclosed copy by mail or email. In the absence of your response within five (5) business days from the date of receipt, I will assume you have chosen not to resolve this matter amicably, and I will be left with no alternative but to take appropriate action to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will choose to act in accordance with the laws governing landlord-tenant relationships and uphold your responsibilities as a landlord. Sincerely, [Your Name]
