This is a sample letter from the Tenant to a Landlord. This letter is used as a Notice to the Landlord that he/she used unlawful means in order to gain possession of the premises and these actions are in violation of their rental agreement, as well as the law.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring a matter of concern to your attention regarding the recent events pertaining to the possession of the property located at [address]. As an unwavering tenant at the aforementioned property, I have been disheartened to discover that you have resorted to utilizing unlawful self-help measures in an attempt to gain possession of the premises without following the appropriate legal protocols. This behavior not only violates my rights as a tenant but also undermines the trust we had established in our landlord-tenant relationship. Under the laws of the State of Indiana and specifically, Fort Wayne, it is imperative for landlords to abide by legal procedures when seeking possession of a rental property. Unlawful self-help, which includes actions such as changing locks, removing belongings, or tampering with utilities, is strictly prohibited. It is our shared responsibility to ensure compliance with these laws to maintain a fair and harmonious living environment for all parties involved. I kindly request that you immediately cease any further attempts to gain possession of the property through improper means and restore the premises to its original condition. It is vital that we resolve this issue through legal channels to safeguard the rights and interests of both parties involved. To facilitate a swift resolution, I suggest we arrange a meeting or discussion to address the concerns and any underlying issues contributing to this situation. Open communication and a commitment to resolving disputes amicably can help preserve the positive landlord-tenant relationship we had established. In the event that corrective measures are not taken promptly, I may be left with no alternative but to seek legal counsel and report this matter to the relevant authorities. This would not be my preferred course of action, as I believe in finding mutually beneficial solutions rather than resorting to costly and time-consuming legal proceedings. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and act responsibly to rectify the situation promptly. I value our previous positive interactions and hope that this unfortunate incident can be resolved to restore our professional relationship. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits.
