Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Illegal Entry by Landlord — [Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.

First and foremost, I would like to emphasize the importance of respecting the legal boundaries set forth by both state and local laws, as well as the terms outlined in our lease agreement. As a tenant, I have a right to a safe, secure, and peaceful living environment, which includes the right to determine who may access my rental unit. Unfortunately, I have witnessed multiple instances where you have entered my rented premises without providing proper prior notice, which is a clear violation of my rights as a tenant. Not only does this breach the trust established between landlord and tenant, but it also raises a number of concerns regarding my privacy and security. As per Section [X] of North Carolina's landlord-tenant laws, it is stated that a landlord must give a notice of at least [X] hours/days prior to entering a tenant's property, except in the case of emergencies. I have kept track of the dates, times, and instances where you entered the property without adhering to the required notification period, and the documentation is enclosed for your reference. It is crucial to note that these entries were neither requested nor deemed necessary given the absence of any emergency situations. Furthermore, I would like to remind you of the terms outlined in our lease agreement, specifically in regard to landlord access. As stated in Section [X] of our lease, you are required to obtain my explicit consent or provide adequate notice before entering my rental unit, except in cases of emergency repairs or inspections required by the local authorities. I regret to inform you that your repeated disregard for these provisions has caused significant discomfort and distress. Considering the aforementioned circumstances, I kindly request that you take immediate actions to rectify this situation. I expect you to: 1. Respect the legal boundaries and rights of your tenants, maintaining our privacy and security within the rental property. 2. Provide written confirmation within [X] days of receipt of this letter, acknowledging the receipt of my complaint. 3. Refrain from any further unauthorized entry into my rented premises and ensure all future entries fully comply with both state laws and provisions outlined in our lease agreement. 4. Offer an apology for the previous unauthorized entry incidents and provide assurances that such occurrences will not repeat in the future. 5. Take necessary steps to prevent retaliation or any form of landlord harassment as a result of my submission of this complaint. Failing to address this matter appropriately will inevitably force me to explore further legal actions to protect my rights as a tenant and seek appropriate remedies. I sincerely hope that we can reach a swift resolution without resorting to such measures. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, and I kindly request a written response by [deadline — usually 7-10 days] outlining the actions you will undertake to rectify this situation. This response should be addressed to my current mailing address indicated at the end of this letter. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I trust that we can resolve this issue amicably. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
