Subject: Urgent Concern: Tenant's Notice Regarding Landlord's Unlawful Self-Help and Demand for Remediation Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to address a pressing matter pertaining to my tenancy at [property address] in Hillsboro, Oregon. It has come to my attention that you have engaged in what I believe to be unlawful self-help measures to gain possession of the property. I feel it is imperative to bring this matter to your attention immediately in order to rectify the situation and preserve the landlord-tenant relationship. I would like to outline the specific incidents that have caused me concern: 1. Unauthorized Entry: On [date], I discovered that you entered the premises without obtaining prior notice or my consent. This unauthorized entry constitutes a breach of my right to privacy and is in violation of Oregon law (ORS 90.322). 2. Removal or Disabling of Property: On [date], I noticed that certain personal belongings, including [items], had been removed or tampered with in an apparent effort to compel me to vacate the premises. It is crucial to note that such actions are strictly prohibited under Oregon law (ORS 90.375). 3. Intimidation and Threats: On [date], you personally confronted me with aggressive behavior, making threats or engaging in behavior that implied threats, in an attempt to force me into vacating the premises. Such behavior not only violates my rights as a tenant but is also illegal under Oregon law (ORS 90.396). These actions seriously undermine the principles of fairness, legality, and mutual respect that should exist within a landlord-tenant relationship. It is important to note that self-help remedies are expressly prohibited in Oregon, and I insist that you immediately cease and desist from any further such acts. I understand that disputes or disagreements may arise between landlords and tenants, but it is essential to address these through proper legal channels. I kindly request that you adhere to the following steps to rectify the situation promptly: 1. Immediate Cessation: Cease all actions undertaken in an attempt to gain possession of the property through unlawful self-help practices, including unauthorized entry, property removal or disabling, and intimidation/threats. 2. Restitution: Return any property that has been removed or tampered with, ensuring it is in the same condition as before. Additionally, provide written confirmation of the same. 3. Apology and Assurance: Acknowledge the severity of these actions and provide a written apology, expressing your commitment to upholding the tenant's rights and the respect owed within our landlord-tenant relationship. 4. Guarantee of Non-Repetition: Provide a written assurance that no further attempts will be made to gain possession illegally, and that you will adhere strictly to the legal procedures stipulated under Oregon statute when addressing any concerns or disputes related to the tenancy. Failure to address these concerns seriously and engage in immediate remediation measures will leave me with no other recourse but to seek legal counsel and pursue my rights to the fullest extent under the law. I believe that a prompt resolution to this matter will serve the best interests of both parties involved. I respectfully request your urgent attention and mutually beneficial remedy within [reasonable timeline, e.g., 7 days] from the receipt of this letter. Furthermore, I trust that we can work together in resolving this issue in a cooperative and lawful manner, preserving the integrity of our landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
