Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a letter from Tenant to Landlord requesting that in the future, Landlord may only enter the premises with prior written notice to Tenant, and only at a reasonable time, agreeable to both parties. The only exception would be in the case of an emergency posing an immediate danger to health or property. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding a recent incident involving the illegal entry into my rental property. As your tenant at [address of the rental property], I believe it is essential to address this matter promptly and seek clarification on the rights and responsibilities associated with privacy and property access. On [date of the incident], I discovered that you had entered my rental unit without prior notice or my consent. As per the Oklahoma state laws, specifically the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Title 41, Chapter 1, Section 128), landlords are required to provide reasonable notice, usually 24 hours in advance, before entering a tenant's premises for non-emergency reasons. This illegal entry has caused me significant distress and violated my right to privacy and the quiet enjoyment of my rental unit. Furthermore, it puts me in a vulnerable position where I am worried about the safety of my personal belongings and the possibility of unwarranted intrusion in the future. According to the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, unauthorized entry by a landlord is considered a breach of the rental agreement, constituting grounds for the tenant to terminate the lease agreement or pursue legal action if necessary. I kindly request an explanation for your unauthorized entry into my rental unit on [date]. Please provide me with a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] to address the following concerns: 1. Clarification on the purpose and justification for the unauthorized entry. 2. Acknowledgment of the breach of privacy and violation of my tenant rights. 3. Assurance that such incidents will not occur in the future and steps taken to prevent reoccurrence. 4. Confirmation that my personal belongings were not damaged, tampered with, or compromised during the unauthorized entry. 5. An apology and assurance of respecting my privacy and maintaining lawful entry procedures. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and without further complications. Maintaining open, respectful, and transparent communication is paramount to a healthy landlord-tenant relationship. If the concerns raised are not adequately addressed, I may have no choice but to seek legal advice or escalate the matter by filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities, such as the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission or consult with a tenant rights organization. However, I genuinely hope that it does not come to such an outcome, and we can find a fair resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your prompt response and working towards a resolution that upholds the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved.
