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] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter of concern regarding the recent communications exchanged between us. As a tenant under your management, I have always endeavored to maintain a healthy and respectful relationship with you. However, it has come to my attention that there have been instances of retaliatory threats to evict or potential retaliatory eviction in the recent past. Under Louisiana landlord-tenant laws, tenants have certain rights and protections, including the right to address grievances or issues without fear of retaliation. According to Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 9, Section 3221, it is unlawful for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant who has: 1. Complained to appropriate authorities about any violation of building or housing codes that affect health or safety, 2. Made a good faith complaint concerning a violation by the landlord of any provision of the rental agreement or any other obligation of the landlord, 3. Organized, joined, or participated in a tenant's union or similar organization, or 4. Exercised any rights provided by applicable laws or regulations. In light of these legal protections, I kindly request that you immediately cease any further retaliatory threats to evict me or engage in retaliatory eviction practices. I believe it is in both of our best interests to maintain a positive and mutually respectful landlord-tenant relationship. Please consider this letter as an opportunity to resolve any existing conflicts or concerns in a fair and reasonable manner. If there are any issues that I may have inadvertently caused or if my actions or behavior require improvement, I am open to discussing them and finding an amicable solution. In order to foster an open line of communication, I kindly request a meeting or a phone call within [reasonable time, such as 7 calendar days] from receiving this letter. This will provide us the opportunity to address any unresolved concerns or misunderstandings, and ultimately work towards a harmonious and mutually beneficial landlord-tenant relationship. Failure to comply with this notice may result in legal action to protect my rights as a tenant under Louisiana law. Please be aware that I am fully committed to defending my rights, should it become necessary. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably without any further escalation. I appreciate your immediate attention to this important matter. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter by providing a written response within [reasonable time, such as 5 calendar days] from receiving it. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
