Title: Hillsboro, Oregon Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Illegal Entry Content: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Unauthorized Entry into Rental Property — Formal Complaint Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing concern regarding several instances of unauthorized entry into my rented premises at [Address of Rental Property], hereinafter referred to as the "Property." It has come to my attention that you have been entering the Property without providing me with prior notice or obtaining my consent. This activity is a clear violation of my rights as a tenant and is unacceptable under Oregon law. According to Oregon Revised Statute § 90.322, landlords must provide at least 24 hours' written notice before entering the rental unit for specific reasons such as repairs, inspections, or showings. This legal provision aims to protect a tenant's privacy and ensure their peaceful enjoyment of the rented premises. However, your repeated unauthorized entry into my dwelling has disrupted my privacy and caused unnecessary distress. The incidents where you unlawfully accessed the Property include: 1. [Describe specific date, time, and circumstances of the first incident] 2. [Describe specific date, time, and circumstances of the second incident] 3. [Describe specific date, time, and circumstances of any subsequent incidents] These acts of illegal entry clearly violate the terms of our rental agreement, specifically the section regarding landlord's access to the rental property. Furthermore, these actions have created an environment of unease and compromise the sanctity of my home, a place where I deserve to feel secure and undisturbed. I trust that you are aware of the repercussions of such actions and that you understand the importance of tenant rights. As a tenant, it is my right to live in a property free from unauthorized access. I kindly request that you refrain from any further unauthorized entry into the Property and adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in our rental agreement. To rectify this situation, I kindly request the following actions from your end: 1. Provide a written apology for all instances of unauthorized entry into the Property. 2. Strictly adhere to the notice requirements defined by Oregon laws when seeking access to the Property in the future. 3. Take immediate steps to ensure the security and privacy of the Property, such as changing the locks and providing me with new copies of the keys. If my concerns are not promptly addressed, I may have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I sincerely hope it does not come to that, as I believe we can resolve this matter amicably and foster a positive landlord-tenant relationship. I kindly request a written response addressing the aforementioned concerns within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter. Please contact me at [your phone number] or email me at [your email address] to share your proposed plan of action or to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve this issue in a fair and cooperative manner. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Signature] Enclosure: Photocopy of the incidents log documenting unauthorized entries.Title: Hillsboro, Oregon Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Illegal Entry Content: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Unauthorized Entry into Rental Property — Formal Complaint Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.
