Title: New Orleans, Louisiana Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Keywords: New Orleans, Louisiana, letter, tenant, landlord, notice, cease, retaliatory threats, evict, retaliatory eviction 1. Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent actions and statements made by you that I perceive as retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction. As a tenant under your care, I want to ensure that our landlord-tenant relationship remains respectful and compliant with relevant laws and regulations. 2. Description of the Issue: Over the past few weeks, I have noticed several instances where it appears that you have made threats or acted in a manner consistent with retaliatory eviction. Section [insert relevant section number] of the Louisiana State Landlord-Tenant Law clearly prohibits landlords from engaging in such behavior, as it undermines the fundamental rights of tenants to enjoy their leased premises without fear of retaliation for exercising their legal rights. 3. Examples of Retaliatory Threats or Actions: I would like to bring your attention to specific instances that have raised concerns: — On [date], you informed me that if I continued to exercise my right to request repairs and maintenance in a timely manner, you would evict me. — Additionally, on [date], you entered my premises without proper notice, which I perceive as an act of intimidation after I voiced concerns about the condition of the property. — Furthermore, your repeated and unwarranted warnings of eviction when I requested clarification on lease terms or sought to enforce my rights as a tenant also contribute to this pattern of retaliation. 4. Request to Cease Retaliatory Threats or Actions: I strongly urge you to cease any further retaliatory threats or actions immediately. As a tenant, I have a right to exercise my legal rights without fear of eviction or intimidation. I expect that you, as the landlord, will respect these rights and fulfill your responsibilities under the lease agreement and New Orleans landlord-tenant laws. 5. Consequences of Retaliatory Threats or Actions: Please be aware that retaliatory eviction or intimidation is illegal and can result in legal consequences for the landlord, including damages, attorney fees, and potentially invalidation of the lease agreement. I sincerely hope we can address this matter privately and amicably to avoid any further legal actions. 6. Request for Confirmation: I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] acknowledging receipt of this letter and confirming that you will desist from any retaliatory threats or actions. This response is necessary for record-keeping and to ensure open dialogue moving forward. 7. Conclusion: I value my tenancy at the property and believe that we can work towards resolving this issue in a mutually respectful manner. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and address it promptly. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to seek legal advice and escalate the issue further. Thank you for considering the contents of this letter. I look forward to your prompt attention to the matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
