Subject: Urgent 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 deeply concerning issue that has recently arisen in our landlord-tenant relationship. It has come to my attention that there have been explicit or implicit threats made by you regarding my tenancy, which I perceive as retaliatory actions in response to my exercise of legal rights or reporting of concerns. As a responsible tenant, it is within my rights and responsibilities to bring such matters to your attention, expecting a safe and peaceful living environment. However, these threats undermine the fundamental principles of the landlord-tenant relationship and are in clear violation of Fair Housing laws and tenant's rights outlined in the North Dakota Landlord and Tenant Act. To ensure mutual respect and maintain the integrity of this relationship, I kindly request that you cease all retaliatory threats to evict or engage in any form of retaliatory eviction measures immediately. It is crucial to uphold a harmonious atmosphere where tenants can freely express their concerns without fear of repercussions or unjust eviction attempts. These retaliatory actions not only infringe upon my rights but also cast doubts on your commitment to fulfilling your landlord obligations of providing a safe and habitable dwelling. It is important to address any issues or concerns amicably and in adherence to the laws governing our tenancy. In light of the seriousness of this matter, I request that you take the following steps to resolve the situation and prevent any further deterioration of our landlord-tenant relationship: 1. Acknowledge this notice in writing within [state a reasonable time period, e.g., five business days] of receiving this letter. 2. Provide an assurance that all retaliatory threats made against my tenancy will immediately cease. 3. Maintain a professional and respectful demeanor throughout our communication and interactions. 4. Refrain from any retaliatory eviction attempts or actions, ensuring that my tenancy rights are fully respected and protected. 5. Consider offering an apology for the distress caused by the retaliatory threats, emphasizing a commitment to fostering a healthy and cooperative landlord-tenant relationship moving forward. Failure to comply with this notice to cease retaliatory threats or evictions will leave me with no choice but to seek legal counsel, file a complaint with the relevant housing authorities, or pursue any other appropriate legal action available to protect my rights as a tenant. I believe that we can resolve this issue in a fair and peaceful manner, ensuring a healthy and respectful atmosphere for both parties involved. I sincerely hope that guiding principles, such as respect, fairness, and adherence to the law, will be the foundation upon which we can rebuild our relationship.
