This is a sample letter from the Tenant to a Landlord. This letter is used as a Notice to the Landlord that he/she illegally entered the premises which is in violation of their rental agreement.
Subject: Concerns Regarding Multiple Instances of Illegal Entry by Landlord — Urgent Action Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern about a recurring issue that requires immediate attention. Over the past few months, I have noticed several instances where you or your authorized representatives have illegally accessed my rented property without prior notice or my consent. I believe it is crucial to address this matter in order to ensure the legal rights and privacy of both yourself as the landlord and myself as the tenant. First and foremost, I want to emphasize my understanding of the importance of landlord access for necessary repairs, maintenance, or emergencies. However, it is essential to adhere to the proper protocol outlined in our lease agreement and the laws governing landlord-tenant relationships in the state of Indiana. According to Indiana Landlord-Tenant laws (insert relevant citation if necessary), landlords are required to provide a reasonable notice period before entering the rental property, except in cases of emergency. To provide you with a clear understanding of the instances where illegal entry took place, I have carefully documented each occurrence along with the dates and times. These unauthorized entries have caused a significant breach of my right to privacy, and they have left me feeling uncomfortable and violated, not to mention the potential damage caused to my personal belongings. As a responsible and attentive tenant, I kindly request your assistance in addressing this matter promptly and effectively. I propose the following steps to resolve the issue and prevent any future instances of illegal entry: 1. Strict Adherence to Notice Requirements: I kindly request that you strictly abide by the notice requirements laid out in our lease agreement. Please provide a minimum of 24 hours' notice in writing (via email or letter), outlining the specific reason for entry and the proposed date and time of access. 2. Appropriate Communication Channels: For non-emergency repairs or inspections, I encourage the use of pre-approved communication channels, such as email or text messages, to discuss and schedule access. 3. Improved Security Measures: In order to ensure the privacy and security of the premises, I suggest considering enhanced security measures, such as installing a lockbox for keys that can be accessed only by authorized personnel, or updating the existing locks. 4. Acknowledgment of Concerns: It would greatly assist in resolving this issue if you could acknowledge the situation and provide an explanation for the instances of illegal entry. Understanding the reasons behind these breaches would allow me to feel assured that necessary steps will be taken to prevent them in the future. 5. Legal Implications: Please be aware that unauthorized entry constitutes a violation of both state and federal laws, and may lead to legal consequences. However, I am hopeful that we can resolve this issue through open and respectful communication. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter, as it directly impacts the quality of my tenancy. I believe that addressing this issue promptly will benefit both parties involved and foster a more positive landlord-tenant relationship. Furthermore, I would appreciate your response in writing within [include a reasonable timeframe] confirming the actions you plan to take to avoid any further illegal entries. Alternatively, I am open to scheduling a meeting to discuss this issue further and seek an amicable resolution. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
