Subject: Urgent Notice — Letter from Tenant to Landlord Addressing Illegal Entry Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concerns and dissatisfaction regarding a recent incident that occurred at [address of the rental property], concerning a suspected illegal entry by yourself or your representatives. Firstly, I want to assure you that I fully understand and respect your role as the landlord, and I acknowledge that there may be legitimate reasons for you or your staff to enter the premises. However, it is essential to maintain a strict adherence to legal procedures and the rights of the tenants. On [date], at approximately [time], I observed clear evidence of an unauthorized entry into my rented unit. [Provide details of the incident, such as a broken lock, signs of disturbance, missing personal belongings, or any other relevant information.] As a tenant, I am well-aware of my rights protected by the Oregon Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which states that landlords must provide notice and obtain consent before entering the premises, except in emergency situations. According to § 90.322 (1), you are obligated to give reasonable written or oral notice not less than 24 hours before the intended entry. Additionally, § 90.375 strictly prohibits landlords from abusing their right of entry or using excessive force, ensuring a respectful and secure living environment for tenants. I deeply regret that these rights have apparently been overlooked in this particular incident. This occurrence has greatly undermined my trust in your management and compromised my peace of mind within the rental property. Therefore, I kindly request the following actions to be taken promptly: 1. A formal acknowledgment of the incident, including an explanation of the reasons behind the unauthorized entry, if any. 2. A guarantee that such unauthorized entries will not happen again in the future, ensuring strict compliance with the legal obligations stated in the Oregon law. 3. Assurances that my privacy and security within the property will be respected, and no further unauthorized entries will occur. 4. An investigation into the incident, providing results and appropriate consequences for any parties involved. 5. Compensatory measures, if applicable, for any damages or losses that have resulted from the unauthorized entry. Please note that I am fully committed to maintaining an amicable and respectful landlord-tenant relationship. I strongly believe that these concerns can be appropriately addressed to prevent future misunderstandings, should you take prompt action and adhere to the legal requirements. I kindly request a written response within a reasonable time frame of receiving this letter, preferably within [number of days]. If no timely response is received, I may be left with no choice but to seek legal counsel and submit a formal complaint with the appropriate authorities. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will rectify this situation promptly and ensure a positive living experience within your property.
