This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord requesting that in the future, Landlord may only enter the premises with prior written notice to Tenant, and only at a reasonable time, agreeable to both parties. The only exception would be in the case of an emergency posing an immediate danger to health or property. Subject: Urgent Notice Regarding Unauthorized Entry by Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious issue that has occurred at the [property address] in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It has come to my attention that there have been instances of illegal entry into my rented premises, which I find absolutely unacceptable and a breach of our rental agreement. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize the importance of respecting tenants' privacy and abiding by the laws and regulations set forth to protect renters. As a tenant, I have the right to enjoy a safe, secure, and private living environment, and I trust that you, as my landlord, also acknowledge and respect these rights. On the following occasions, I have noticed evidence of unauthorized entry into my unit: 1. [Date and time] — I returned home to find my personal belongings disturbed and certain items misplaced. It is evident that someone had entered my apartment without my knowledge or prior authorization. 2. [Date and time] — I encountered evidence of recent entry, such as unlocked doors and windows that I had previously secured. This action disregards my right to privacy, leaving me concerned for my safety and the safety of my personal belongings. These unwelcome intrusions have caused me significant distress, as I no longer feel secure in my own home. Consequently, I kindly request an immediate halt to any further illegal entries into my rental unit. Moreover, I expect to be promptly informed regarding the reasons behind these unauthorized entries, as they undermine the trust and confidence I originally placed in you as my landlord. To ensure that we resolve this matter appropriately, I request the following actions be taken: 1. Conduct a thorough investigation: I urge you to initiate an investigation to determine who has been accessing my unit without my consent. This investigation should be conducted swiftly to alleviate any concerns regarding my safety and privacy. 2. Report findings: Once the investigation is completed, I kindly request that you provide me with a detailed report of your findings, including the identities of individuals responsible for the unauthorized entries. 3. Enhance security measures: To prevent any future incidents, I suggest implementing additional security measures such as changing locks, installing security cameras, or reinforcing windows to secure the premises effectively. 4. Respect tenant's rights: I would like to remind you of the legal rights and responsibilities that come with being a landlord, specifically regarding tenant privacy. It is essential to ensure that all tenants receive the protection they are entitled to under Massachusetts law. Failure to address this issue promptly and adequately will leave me with no choice but to consider legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that, as I believe we can resolve this matter efficiently and maintain our landlord-tenant relationship in good standing. I expect to receive a response from you within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 business days] from the date of this letter. If I do not receive a satisfactory resolution or your acknowledgement of the seriousness of this matter, I may seek advice from legal counsel. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. I trust that you will address this concern without delay and take the necessary steps to ensure it does not reoccur in the future. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] Note: Please consult a qualified attorney to ensure that this letter conforms to the specific laws and regulations applicable in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
