This is a form from a Tenant to Landlord in response to Landlord's threat to evict Tenant from the premises.

[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 and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter that requires immediate attention and resolution. It has come to my attention that certain actions and behaviors on your part may constitute retaliatory threats to evict or retaliatory eviction, which is in violation of the rights provided to tenants under the laws and regulations of Jersey City, New Jersey. As you may be aware, Jersey City has specific laws in place to protect tenants from retaliatory actions by their landlords. According to the Jersey City Rent Control Ordinance and the New Jersey Anti-Eviction Act, landlords are prohibited from engaging in any retaliatory actions against their tenants for exercising their rights or reporting violations. Upon the review of recent incidents and conversations, I have noticed the occurrence of the following retaliatory actions: 1. [State specific retaliatory action 1, e.g., Repeated threats of eviction directly linked to my complaint about the inadequate heating in the property.] 2. [State specific retaliatory action 2, e.g., Increased surveillance and harassment after participating in a tenant association meeting.] 3. [State specific retaliatory action 3, e.g., Failure to address maintenance requests promptly due to my inquiry about my legal rights as a tenant.] 4. [State specific retaliatory action 4, e.g., Unjustified rent increases following my involvement in legal proceedings regarding the lease terms.] I firmly believe that these actions are not only unwarranted but also illegal. As a tenant, it is my right to live in a safe, habitable, and harassment-free environment without fear of retaliation or drastic consequences for asserting my rights. It is my sincere hope that you and I can resolve these issues amicably and without resorting to further legal action. Therefore, I respectfully request that you immediately cease all retaliatory actions against me and ensure a safe living environment as guaranteed by the legal framework governing tenant-landlord relationships. Should these retaliatory actions persist, I may be required to take legal measures to protect my rights and seek appropriate remedies available under the law. I kindly ask for your written response within [a reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] to confirm that you acknowledge and respect my rights as a tenant, and that you will take the necessary steps to address and rectify the situation. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I trust that we can come to a satisfactory resolution promptly, preserving our mutual respect and lawful obligations. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
