[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 to address a matter of great concern regarding my tenancy at [Rental Property Address] in Winston-Salemem, North Carolina. It has come to my attention that you have made retaliatory threats to evict me from the premises or are considering engaging in retaliatory eviction due to my recent complaints regarding maintenance issues and other legitimate concerns. According to the North Carolina Residential Rental Agreements Act, it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant for exercising their rights, including making good-faith complaints or requests for maintenance or repairs. Retaliatory actions such as threats of eviction or actual eviction are expressly prohibited by state law. I want to bring to your attention the specific incidents that have led me to believe that your actions are retaliatory in nature: 1. [Describe the specific complaint or request made by you to the landlord. Include dates and details.] 2. [Describe any subsequent conversations or actions taken by the landlord that indicate retaliatory behavior.] As a responsible tenant, I have always fulfilled my obligations under our lease agreement and have consistently paid my rent on time. It is disheartening to see such a disregard for my rights as a tenant and the retaliatory measures you have taken or mentioned, which undermine the peaceful enjoyment of my home. In light of the aforementioned instances, I kindly request that you immediately cease all retaliatory behavior, including but not limited to threats of eviction or any actions that would hinder my right to live undisturbed in the rental property. Please be aware that retaliatory actions can result in legal consequences for your actions, including be liable for damages, fines, and attorney's fees. I would like to avoid escalating this matter and hope that we can resolve it amicably without the need for legal intervention. I expect a written response from you within [reasonable timeframe, for example, 10 days] of receiving this letter confirming that you understand and will respect my rights as a tenant, and that you will desist from any further retaliatory actions or threats. Should you fail to comply with this request, I may have no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under the North Carolina Residential Rental Agreements Act and seek appropriate legal action to protect my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve this issue professionally, avoiding any further conflicts or disruptions to my tenancy. Sincerely, [Your Name]
