Description

This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord in which Tenant claims that Landlord's failure to abide by the continuing requirements of the Lease Agreement by denying Tenant certain services is retaliation for some action initiated by Tenant. This letter provides notice to Landlord that such retaliatory action is in breach of the lease agreement and may constitute a further violation of the law. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of a serious matter regarding the recent decrease in services and amenities provided at [property address]. As a tenant, I believe that this reduction is a direct result of my exercise of legal rights, which is regarded as retaliatory action and is strictly prohibited by the law. According to the Michigan Landlord-Tenant Laws, a landlord is prohibited from retaliating against a tenant for asserting their rights, such as making valid complaints about necessary repairs, habitability issues, or any other related concerns. By reducing or eliminating essential services, you are creating a hostile and uncomfortable living environment, which I believe constitutes retaliatory action. I would like to document the specific instances that have led to this belief: 1. Decrease in security personnel presence, which has resulted in increased incidents of unauthorized access and suspicious activities around the property. 2. Reduction in maintenance response time; requested repairs are left incomplete or take an extended period to address, causing inconvenience and potentially hazardous living conditions. 3. Removal of shared amenities, such as the on-site laundry room without providing suitable alternatives, thus inconveniencing all tenants. 4. Insufficient lighting in common areas, posing safety risks, especially during nighttime. It is crucial that you understand that my intent is not to escalate the situation, but rather to ensure that my rights as a tenant are respected and that the property remains in a safe and habitable condition. Therefore, I request that you cease the retaliatory actions immediately and reinstate the previously provided services and amenities by [specific date]. Please note that I expect a timely response acknowledging this letter and the necessary corrective actions. Failure to address this matter within a reasonable time frame may leave me no choice but to pursue legal actions to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope we can resolve this issue amicably and restore a positive tenant-landlord relationship. Sincerely, [Your Name]
