Description

This Letter from Tenant to Landlord - Lease Agreement Contains provision confessing judgment on a claim arising put of the rental agreement in violation of law. Notice Letter, T to LL, notification to LL that clause proporting to confess judgment is in violation of state law and void. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to discuss a concerning provision within our lease agreement that pertains to confessing judgment on a claim arising out of the rental agreement, and how it may be in violation of the law in Fairfax, Virginia. As a responsible tenant, I have thoroughly reviewed our lease agreement and have come across a provision that raises legal concerns. Specifically, the provision contains a clause that allows the landlord to confess judgment on any claim arising out of the rental agreement, which may infringe upon the rights and protections provided to tenants under Virginia law. According to my research, Fairfax, Virginia falls under the jurisdiction of Virginia state laws, which establish certain protections and regulations for tenants. One specific law in question is the Virginia Code Section § 55.1-1200, which governs residential landlord and tenant agreements. This statute ensures fair and equitable treatment of both landlords and tenants and aims to maintain a balance of power in the landlord-tenant relationship. Upon further examination of this provision, it has come to my attention that it may be in conflict with the provisions set forth in the Virginia Code Section § 55.1-1200. As per my understanding, a provision confessing judgment may be deemed unenforceable by the courts, as it could potentially grant an unfair advantage to the landlord in legal disputes that may arise throughout the course of the tenancy. I kindly request that you review the lease agreement and consider removing or amending this provision containing the confessing judgment clause. By doing so, we can ensure that our lease agreement aligns with the laws and regulations established in Fairfax, Virginia, and we can maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship throughout the duration of our tenancy. It is important for both parties involved to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, fostering an environment where our legal rights are protected. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I look forward to discussing this further and reaching an agreement that is fair and lawful. Yours sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Contact Information]
