Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning matter that has arisen recently. It has come to my attention that there have been retaliatory threats made by your end, including the possibility of eviction. As a tenant, I believe it is my right to live in a safe and comfortable environment without fear of retaliation for asserting my rights. According to the Texas Property Code, Section 92.331, landlords are prohibited from retaliating against tenants for exercising their rights, such as making complaints regarding repairs, requesting necessary maintenance, or reporting violations of the lease agreement. These protections are in place to maintain a healthy landlord-tenant relationship and to ensure that tenants are not subjected to unfair treatment. The purpose of this letter is to request that you immediately cease any retaliatory threats made towards me in regard to eviction or any other form of retaliation. I kindly request that you respect my rights as a tenant and refrain from any further aggressive actions that would violate the law. It is important to note that retaliatory eviction is not only morally wrong but is also illegal under Texas law. In the event that these retaliatory actions persist or escalate, I will be left with no choice but to seek legal assistance to protect my rights. I value a peaceful and respectful living environment, and I hope that we can resolve this issue amicably without any further unnecessary intervention. I recognize the importance of open communication, and I am more than willing to discuss any concerns or issues you may have regarding my tenancy. Furthermore, I believe that addressing problems directly, in a calm and respectful manner, will be mutually beneficial for both parties involved. Furthermore, I kindly request your prompt response to this letter, addressing the concerns outlined above. Please confirm in writing that you have received this notice and that you will cease all retaliatory actions immediately. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within a reasonable timeframe, I will have no choice but to pursue legal options available to me.
