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] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue that requires immediate resolution. I regret to inform you that I have been subjected to retaliatory threats to evict or a potential retaliatory eviction after I exercised my legal rights as a tenant. As you are aware, as a tenant residing in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, I am protected by the North Carolina Residential Rental Agreements Act (NCR RAA). This act strictly prohibits any form of retaliation by landlords against tenants who exercise their rights under the law. Specifically, NCR RAA explicitly states that retaliatory eviction or threats to evict in response to a lawful action taken by the tenant are strictly prohibited. It has come to my attention that you have made explicit threats to evict me or take retaliatory measures due to actions I have taken within my rights as your tenant. These actions include filing complaints about necessary repairs that have not been addressed in a timely manner, requesting official inspections and addressing health hazards, citing the violation of safety standards, or advocating for my rights as granted by the NCR RAA. I kindly request that you immediately cease all retaliatory threats or actions. It is essential that we resolve any outstanding disputes or conflicts amicably, respecting each other's rights and responsibilities. As a tenant, I have fulfilled all my obligations under the lease agreement, paying rent on time and maintaining the property in a satisfactory condition. If these retaliatory actions persist, I will be left with no choice but to seek legal counsel and file a formal complaint with the appropriate local authorities, such as the Mecklenburg County Courthouse or other relevant agencies. This is not a step I wish to take, as I believe in open communication and resolving conflicts mutually without the need for legal intervention. In the interest of maintaining a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship, I kindly request your prompt written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 days] of receiving this letter. I ask that you acknowledge receiving this notice and confirm in writing that you will immediately cease all retaliatory threats or eviction attempts. Understanding the importance of resolving this matter promptly, I am confident that we can find common ground and continue our tenancy in a more positive and respectful manner. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
