[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 of Unlawful Self-Help by Landlord — Request for Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of concern regarding your recent actions pertaining to the possession of the rental property located at [Property Address]. As a tenant who is well aware of their rights and obligations, I feel compelled to address this issue promptly to ensure a respectful and lawful resolution. It has come to my attention that you, as the landlord, have engaged in what appears to be unlawful self-help measures in an attempt to gain possession of the rental property, without following the proper legal procedures outlined in the New Jersey Tenant-Landlord laws. This self-help approach clearly violates my rights as a tenant, and I am writing this letter to formally notify you and request a remedy for this situation. I would like to draw your attention to the specific incidents that lead to my concerns: 1. Unauthorized Entry: On [Date], I discovered that you had entered the rental property without any prior notice or consent, while I was away. This intrusion into my privacy is not only a breach of the lease agreement but also a violation of New Jersey's tenant protection laws. I request that you refrain from such unauthorized entries in the future. 2. Disruptive Actions: On [Date], I became aware of disruptive actions taken by you, such as turning off the utilities or changing the locks without legal justification and prior written notice. These measures directly interfere with my right to quietly enjoy the premises and are blatant violations of New Jersey's landlord-tenant statutes. 3. Threats of Eviction: On [Date], you verbally threatened to initiate eviction proceedings against me, solely based on allegations that are unfounded and not supported by any lawful notices. It is important to note that such threats without following the proper legal channels not only create an intimidating environment but also violate my rights as a tenant. Considering the seriousness of these matters, I kindly request that you immediately cease all unlawful self-help measures and revise your approach to align with the applicable laws governing tenant-landlord relationships in Newark, New Jersey. To rectify this situation, I propose the following actions: 1. Prompt compliance: I expect your adherence to New Jersey's tenant protection laws, which state that you must provide the necessary written notices, such as a Notice to Quit or Notice to Cure, prior to commencing any legal eviction proceedings. 2. Compensation for damages: I request reimbursement for any expenses incurred as a result of your unlawful self-help measures, including, but not limited to the costs associated with restoring utilities, changing locks, or any other necessary repairs performed. 3. A commitment to lawful procedures: I urge you to confirm in writing, within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days from the date of this letter], that you will follow all proper legal procedures in the future and will abstain from engaging in any further unlawful self-help measures. Failure to address and rectify this situation promptly may leave me no choice but to seek legal remedies available to tenants under New Jersey law. This includes filing complaints with relevant housing agencies and pursuing legal action, which may result in substantial penalties and damages. I hope that we can resolve this matter amicably, without resorting to legal actions that are both time-consuming and financially burdensome for both parties involved. I value our landlord-tenant relationship and believe that addressing this issue promptly will allow for a healthier and more harmonious environment for all. Should you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above-mentioned contact details. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] from the receipt of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift action and resolution.
