Description

This is a form from a Tenant to Landlord in response to Landlord's threat to evict Tenant from the premises. Tenant is contending that Landlord's threat to evict is retaliatory in nature and was done so in response to Tenant's actions as specified in the form. This form complies with state Housing Laws. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] 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 bring a serious matter to your attention regarding the recent incidents that have occurred in regard to my tenancy at [Property Address] in Olathe, Kansas. It has come to my attention that you have made retaliatory threats to evict me or engage in a retaliatory eviction due to my exercise of my legal rights as a tenant in Kansas. Under the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (KR LTA), retaliation against a tenant for asserting their rights is strictly prohibited. Section 58-2560 states that a landlord shall not retaliate by threatening eviction or initiating eviction proceedings against a tenant if the tenant has: 1. Made a good faith complaint to the landlord regarding the property's condition that materially affects the tenant's health or safety. 2. Sought to enforce rights guaranteed by the rental agreement or KR LTA. 3. Organized or become a member of a tenants' organization. 4. Exercised any other legal rights as provided by the KR LTA or any other applicable laws or regulations. I want to emphasize that my actions, such as reporting necessary repairs or requesting the enforcement of my rights, fall well within my legal rights as a tenant. I have documented evidence of these interactions, including the specific dates and nature of the complaints or requests made. Retaliatory actions, including threats of eviction or actual eviction, not only infringe upon my rights as a tenant but also undermine the principles of fair and equitable rental practices. It is my sincere hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and prevent the need for any further legal action. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately cease any and all retaliatory threats to evict me from the property or engage in any retaliatory eviction attempts. I am committed to maintaining a harmonious tenant-landlord relationship based on transparency and mutual respect, and I expect the same from you. Please be advised that any further retaliatory actions may lead to legal consequences under the KR LTA, including but not limited to legal action seeking injunctive relief, damages, and attorney fees incurred. I sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter promptly and without resorting to legal interventions. To facilitate open communication, I kindly request a written response from you within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter acknowledging your understanding of my concerns and confirming that you will cease all retaliatory actions. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
