[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [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 express my concern regarding recent retaliatory threats to evict or retaliate against me as a tenant at [rental property address] in Topeka, Kansas. I am aware that such actions are unlawful under the Kansas Tenant Protection Act and are strictly prohibited. As your tenant, I have been exercising my rights to request necessary repairs, maintenance, and addressing concerns related to the safety, habitability, and comfort of the rental unit in compliance with Kansas landlord-tenant laws. However, it has come to my attention that you have responded with threats of eviction or other retaliatory actions. I must emphasize that the Kansas Tenant Protection Act prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants who exercise their rights. Retaliatory threats or evictions are considered a breach of the lease agreement and a violation of my rights as a tenant. In light of the above, I kindly request that you immediately cease all retaliatory threats towards me or any actions that could be deemed unlawful retaliation. I expect to continue residing at the rented premises without the fear of reprisal or unlawful eviction. This includes, but is not limited to, threats of evictions, rent increases, harassment, or any adverse actions taken against me due to the exercise of my legal rights as a tenant. Please understand that any further retaliatory actions will be seen as a direct violation of the Kansas Tenant Protection Act, which provides legal remedies for tenants facing such situations. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably, without needing to resort to any legal actions. I kindly request that you respond to this letter in writing within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 days] to acknowledge your understanding of my concerns and your intention to comply with the Kansas Tenant Protection Act.
