[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [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 matter of serious concern regarding recent retaliatory threats to evict or carry out a retaliatory eviction against me as your tenant at the [rental property address]. As per my rights guaranteed under state law, I kindly request your immediate attention to this issue. As you may be aware, Florida law prohibits landlords from engaging in retaliatory actions against tenants who assert their legal rights or association lawfully. Section 83.64 of the Florida Statutes clearly states that tenants shall not be subject to retaliation by the landlord due to any good faith complaint or involvement in a tenant organization. Regrettably, it has come to my attention that you have made explicit threats to evict me or engaged in conduct that can be perceived as retaliatory based on my recent complaint regarding the hazardous living conditions and unresolved maintenance issues, despite my adherence to all lease terms and responsibilities as a tenant. Such conduct is a clear violation of my rights as delineated by the state law. Therefore, I request that you immediately cease any further retaliatory threats to evict or carry out a retaliatory eviction against me. I expect to continue living in a safe, habitable environment as is my right as your tenant. I trust that you, as a responsible landlord, will understand the gravity of the situation and take immediate steps to rectify it. If you fail to comply with this notice and persist in your retaliatory actions, I will have no choice but to pursue legal remedies available under Florida law, including filing a formal complaint with the relevant housing authorities, seeking injunctive relief, and pursuing damages for any harm caused as a direct result of your retaliatory actions. I believe that, as reasonable parties, we can resolve this matter amicably and find a mutually beneficial solution. Therefore, I urge you to address the outstanding issues promptly and maintain your responsibilities as a landlord to ensure a harmonious and lawful tenancy. Please respond to this letter within [reasonable time frame] to confirm that you will cease any retaliatory actions and take necessary steps to rectify the previous threats made. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter. I trust that we can resolve this situation sensibly and restore a respectful landlord-tenant relationship. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
