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 Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a tenant of [rental property address] to address a concerning matter that needs your immediate attention. It has come to my attention that you have been making retaliatory threats to evict me or are considering a retaliatory eviction based on my exercise of my legal rights as a tenant. First and foremost, I want to remind you that as a tenant, I have the right to the quiet enjoyment of my rental unit without any interference or threats from the landlord. According to North Carolina General Statutes § 42-42, it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant by threatening eviction or initiating eviction proceedings in response to the tenant's exercise of their legal rights. I believe that your retaliatory actions are a direct response to the following incidents: 1) [Describe the specific incident(s) that triggered the landlord's retaliatory behavior, e.g., requesting repairs, filing complaints about habitability issues, asserting my legal rights, etc.] Such retaliatory threats or evictions not only violate my rights as a tenant but also go against the principles of fairness and respect between a landlord and tenant. My attempts to maintain a positive and respectful relationship with you have been met with these unwarranted threats, creating an environment of fear and anxiety. I kindly request that you immediately cease any further threats to evict me or initiate retaliatory eviction proceedings as a direct response to my legitimate exercise of my tenant rights. Instead, I urge you to address any concerns or disputes we may have in a respectful and legally compliant manner. Failure to honor this request and continued retaliation against me as a tenant will prompt me to take further legal action to protect my rights. I trust that as the landlord, you will act responsibly and in accordance with the law, avoiding any further escalation of this matter. In closing, I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and your adherence to the legal obligations that come with being a landlord. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably and continue our landlord-tenant relationship on a positive note. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and your commitment to refrain from any further retaliatory actions within [insert a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] of receiving this notice. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
