Title: New Orleans Louisiana Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Illegal Entry by Landlord Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the recent incident of illegal entry into my rented premises at [property address].

Violation of Privacy Rights: Illegal entry by a landlord constitutes a violation of a tenant's privacy rights.

Notification Requirements: Under Louisiana law, landlords are required to provide reasonable notice before entering a tenant's rented premises, except in emergency situations, which was not the case in this instance. We both have a legal obligation to respect each other's rights, and I kindly request that you comply with these legal requirements going forward. 5. Request for Immediate Action: In light of the aforementioned incident, I request that you take the following actions promptly: a. Conduct an Investigation: Launch a thorough investigation into the incident to identify the person(s) responsible for the illegal entry. This will help prevent similar occurrences in the future and hold any guilty parties accountable. b. Additional Security Measures: Enhance the security measures for the property, such as repairing the broken lock, installing security cameras, or reinforcing doors and windows, to ensure the safety and well-being of all tenants. c. Formal Apology: Issue a formal written apology to me, expressing regret for the illegal entry and the violation of my privacy rights. This will demonstrate your acknowledgment of the seriousness of the issue. d. Clear Communication: Going forward, establish open lines of communication by informing me in advance of any necessary entry into the property, as required by the law. Promptly respond to any concerns I may raise regarding maintenance or repairs, ensuring transparency and mutual understanding. Conclusion: In conclusion, I trust that you will take my concerns seriously and address the issue of illegal entry promptly. As a tenant, I have a right to feel secure and respected within my rented premises.
