Subject: Important Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services — Tenant's Lettelandlordor— - Rochester, New York Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally address a matter of great concern and bring to your attention the ongoing retaliatory decrease in services at [subject property address] as a tenant, as well as to request immediate corrective actions to rectify the situation. Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for providing me with a comfortable living environment at your property.

Insufficient maintenance and delays in addressing repair requests: Despite reporting multiple maintenance issues in the unit, such as [specific problems], these concerns have not been addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner.

As a responsible tenant, I have the right to feel secure in my own rented space, and the removal of such security measures poses potential threats to both property and resident safety. 3. Failure to maintain cleanliness: There has been a noticeable decrease in the frequency and quality of cleaning services provided by the property management. This has resulted in unattended areas that compromise the overall cleanliness, aesthetic appeal, and hygienic conditions of the premises. It is extremely disheartening to realize that these issues appeared following my recent request for the repair of [specific maintenance issue]. This leaves me with no choice but to conclude that these actions are retaliatory due to my assertiveness in exercising my rights as a tenant.

Reinstate the security measures, including security cameras in common areas, to maintain a secure and protected environment for all tenants. 3. Restore the previous level of cleanliness and regularity of cleaning services to enhance the overall living standards of the property. As a law-abiding tenant, I trust that you will acknowledge and respect my concerns, taking prompt corrective measures to address the retaliatory decrease in services.
