Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State.This is a letter written by the Tenant to the Landlord explaining that the law generally provides that as Landlord he/she may regain possession of the leased premises in accordance with the terms of the lease by Tenant surrendering possession, or by appropriate court action, or based on Tenant's abandonment of the property. This letter is designed to put Landlord on notice that he/she is not permitted to use other illegal means to gain repossession of the premises. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Landlord's Unauthorized Use of Self-Help to Gain Possession Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter regarding your recent actions, which I believe constitute unlawful self-help in an attempt to gain possession of the rental property located at [Property Address], in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Firstly, I would like to express my disappointment and concern over the events that have transpired. As a responsible and law-abiding tenant, I feel it is my duty to address this issue to protect my rights as a tenant and ensure the proper legal procedures are followed. 1. Notice of Unauthorized Entry: On [Date], I discovered evidence that you had entered the premises without providing proper notice, as required by Nevada law. Such unauthorized entries violate the terms of our rental agreement and infringe upon my right to privacy. Additionally, they create a sense of insecurity and unease, especially due to the absence of any legitimate reason for these entries. 2. Damage to Personal Property: During your unauthorized entry on [Date], I discovered that some of my personal belongings had been tampered with, damaged, or even removed from the property without my consent. This action is highly inappropriate and breaches the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment, which guarantees that tenants may enjoy the premises without interference. I request immediate compensation for any damages incurred or the return of any missing items. 3. Interference with Utilities: On [Date], I unexpectedly experienced a disruption in essential utilities, such as electricity, water, or gas, which I suspect was caused by your interference. Such interference, whether intentional or not, breach my rights as a tenant to uninterrupted access to these basic amenities. I expect these disruptions to cease immediately and require that you take prompt action to rectify any damage or inconvenience caused. 4. Coercive Measures: I regret to inform you that I have received reports from neighbors and community members suggesting that you have attempted to intimidate or coerce me into vacating the premises without due process. These actions, including threats, harassment, or undue pressure, are strictly prohibited by Nevada law and represent a clear violation of my tenant's rights. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I hereby demand that you immediately cease and desist all unlawful self-help actions, including unauthorized entry, tampering with belongings, utility disruptions, and coercive measures to gain possession of the property. I expect you to comply with the terms of our rental agreement, Nevada state law, and respect my rights as a tenant. Failure to address these concerns promptly and appropriately may leave me no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under Nevada landlord-tenant law. I am optimistic that you will rectify the situation promptly, allowing us to maintain a respectful and lawful landlord-tenant relationship. I kindly request a written response from you within [reasonable timeframe, typically 7-14 days] acknowledging and addressing the concerns raised in this letter. This will help ensure clear communication and a prompt resolution to this matter. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious issue. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
