[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [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 well. I am writing to formally address the retaliatory threats to evict facing me as a tenant at [rental property address] in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The purpose of this letter is to put you on notice and demand that you cease making these retaliatory threats or engaging in retaliatory eviction practices. It has come to my attention that you have been making unwarranted threats to evict me in response to my legitimate exercise of my rights as a tenant. Such behavior, as outlined in the Nevada Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (NRS Chapter 118A), constitutes retaliatory actions, which is strictly prohibited by law. As a tenant, I have the right to assert my rights, including but not limited to: 1. The right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises. 2. The right to a habitable dwelling free from hazardous conditions. 3. The right to request reasonable repairs and maintenance. 4. The right to withhold rent if necessary repairs are not made within a reasonable timeframe. 5. The right to contest any unfair or excessively increased rent. 6. The right to engage in legally permitted activities within the rental property. I have been exercising these rights responsibly and have not violated any terms of the lease agreement. Therefore, your retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction are unlawful and constitute a breach of both the lease agreement and Nevada state law. I kindly request that you immediately cease making any further retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction practices. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to seek legal remedies available to me under Nevada law, such as filing a complaint with the Nevada Real Estate Division and pursuing legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I strongly encourage open and constructive communication between us to resolve any issues or concerns that may have led to your improper retaliatory behavior. I am willing to work towards a fair and reasonable resolution in accordance with the law. Please consider this letter as a final attempt to resolve this matter amicably. It is my hope that we can resolve this matter without further escalation. I expect to hear from you within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] with written confirmation that you have ceased all retaliatory threats to evict or engage in retaliatory eviction practices. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within the given timeframe, I will have no choice but to proceed with further legal actions. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a prompt resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name]
