Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord requesting that in the future, Landlord may only enter the premises with prior written notice to Tenant, and only at a reasonable time, agreeable to both parties. The only exception would be in the case of an emergency posing an immediate danger to health or property. Subject: Concerns Regarding Unauthorized Entry by Landlord — Urgent Action Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a tenant residing at [Property Address] in Overland Park, Kansas, to express my deep concerns regarding recent incidents of what I believe to be illegal entry into my rented premises by you or your representatives. First and foremost, I want to clarify my understanding of the landlord-tenant relationship. As a tenant, I have certain rights to privacy, security, and the peaceful enjoyment of my home, as outlined by Kansas state laws and our lease agreement. These rights protect me from unauthorized intrusion into my living space unless a valid reason, such as an emergency situation, is present. Unfortunately, I have detected instances where my privacy has been violated. On [specific dates and times], I observed signs indicating that someone had entered my unit without my prior knowledge, consent, or any official notice from your end. It is crucial to note that these entries did not correspond to any maintenance, repair, or emergency needs, as no relevant work orders or communication were made in advance or afterward. This unauthorized entry is a clear violation of my tenant rights and constitutes an infringement on my sense of security and privacy. I kindly request that you investigate these incidents immediately and provide an explanation for the reasons behind these unauthorized entries. I am also seeking assurances that such actions will not happen in the future. To address this matter effectively, I suggest taking the following actions: 1. Investigation: Conduct a thorough investigation into the instances of unauthorized entry and provide me with a detailed report as soon as possible. Include information about who accessed my unit, the reason for entry, and whether any property might have been tampered with or removed. 2. Explanation: Provide a written statement explaining the reasons that necessitated each unauthorized entry. Additionally, explain why proper notice was not given, as required by the law and our lease agreement. 3. Prevention: Implement measures to ensure my privacy and security going forward. Clearly outline processes to avoid any future unauthorized entries, including the requirement of prior notice for access and stricter control over who has access to tenant units. 4. Disciplinary Actions: If it is determined that an employee, contractor, or representative of yours was responsible for the unauthorized entries, appropriate disciplinary actions should be taken to prevent such breaches from recurring. As a tenant, I understand that access may sometimes be necessary, such as scheduled maintenance or in case of an emergency situation. In such cases, I expect prior notice and proper communication to maintain a respectful landlord-tenant relationship. Please be advised that this matter is of utmost importance to me, and I kindly request your immediate attention and resolution. Failing to address this issue satisfactorily may leave me with no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to ensure the protection of my rights as a tenant. I trust that you will address my concerns promptly and take the necessary actions to rectify the situation, thereby preserving the integrity of our landlord-tenant relationship. I look forward to receiving your response in writing within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 business days] from the date of this letter. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I believe that by addressing this issue promptly, we can maintain a mutually beneficial rental agreement and avoid any further disputes.
