Subject: Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict and Notice of Retaliatory Eviction [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE TO CEASE RETALIATORY THREATS TO EVICT AND NOTICE OF RETALIATORY EVICTION I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to inform you of my concerns regarding certain actions and statements that have recently transpired between us, which I believe may constitute retaliatory behavior. As a valued tenant, I strongly believe that open and honest communication is crucial to maintaining a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. Firstly, it has come to my attention that you have been making threatening remarks regarding my tenancy due to my previous legitimate complaints about the condition of the rental premises. As a responsible tenant, I have exercised my rights to notify you of necessary repairs and maintenance requests outlined in our lease agreement. It is my understanding that such actions are fully protected by the laws of the state of Oklahoma and should not warrant any form of retaliation. Additionally, I have noticed a decline in the timeliness and diligence with which my repair requests have been addressed, which further suggests a possible retaliatory motive. It is essential to emphasize that my requests for repairs are solely motivated by the desire to maintain a safe and habitable living environment, as outlined in the terms of our lease agreement and the applicable housing laws. Retaliation in any form, including retaliatory threats to evict or actual retaliatory eviction, is strictly prohibited under the established laws governing landlord-tenant relationships in Oklahoma. Title 41, Section 121 of the Oklahoma Statutes protects tenants from any retaliatory action taken as a response to exercising their lawful rights under the lease agreement or state laws. In light of the recent incidents and your potential violation of these regulations, I kindly request that you immediately cease making any further retaliatory threats to evict or undertake any retaliatory eviction proceedings against me. I value our professional relationship and firmly believe that our differences can be resolved through open and respectful dialogue. I am confident that by addressing these concerns proactively, we can create a respectful and cooperative environment for both parties involved. If we fail to reach an amicable resolution concerning this matter or if I notice any further retaliatory behavior, I may find it necessary to seek the advice of legal counsel to protect my rights as a tenant. Please treat this letter as a formal notice, pursuant to the laws of Oklahoma, that I demand an end to any retaliatory threats or actions regarding my tenancy. Furthermore, I kindly request our future interactions to be conducted professionally, allowing for constructive dialogue and the resolution of any outstanding concerns. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution that benefits both parties involved. Please respond to this letter within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 days] to confirm your understanding and your commitment to resolving this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
