Subject: Serious Concerns Regarding Illegal Entry by Landlord — Immediate Action Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and well-being. I am writing to you with deep concern and distress regarding recent incidents of illegal entry into my rented apartment at [address] in Spokane Valley, Washington. I would like to bring this matter to your attention and request immediate action to rectify this unacceptable violation of my privacy and rights as a tenant. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that as a responsible and law-abiding tenant, I have respected the terms of our lease agreement since I moved into the apartment. However, I have noticed several occurrences where your entry into my dwelling was unauthorized, which raises serious issues of legality and breaches our mutual trust as tenant and landlord. The incidents I refer to are as follows: 1. Unauthorized Entry: On [date], at approximately [time], I discovered that you had entered my apartment without prior notice or consent. This unauthorized entry was in direct violation of my rights outlined in the lease agreement and Washington state law regarding landlord-tenant rights. 2. Invasion of Privacy: As a tenant, I have a reasonable expectation of privacy and security within my rented premises. During your unauthorized entry, I noticed evidence of rummaging through personal belongings, possible damage to personal property, and a clear breach of my privacy rights. I strongly condemn such actions, which are not only invasive but also against the law. 3. Lack of Notice: It has come to my attention that you failed to provide the mandatory twenty-four-hour written notice before entering my apartment on multiple occasions. This lack of adherence to the terms outlined in our lease agreement further compounds the severity of these incidents, as it shows a disregard for the established rules and my rights as a tenant. In light of the above, I kindly request your immediate attention to address and rectify this disconcerting situation. Here's what I expect from you: 1. Acknowledgment: I request a written acknowledgment of this complaint regarding unauthorized entry and invasion of privacy from your end. Please acknowledge that you are aware of the gravity of the situation and that these incidents should not have occurred. 2. Explanation and Apology: I seek a detailed explanation for your actions and an unequivocal apology for your repeated unauthorized entry into my apartment. It is of utmost importance that you understand the seriousness of such violations and take responsibility for your actions. 3. Assurance of Non-Recurrence: I require your assurance that such unauthorized entry incidents will never happen again in the future. I expect a commitment from you to respect the reasonable expectation of privacy I am entitled to as a tenant, adhering to all applicable Washington state laws and our lease agreement provisions. 4. Strengthened Privacy Measures: Furthermore, I strongly suggest that we mutually revisit and reinforce the privacy provisions stated in our lease agreement. Clarifying these terms can mitigate any future misunderstandings and ensure the restoration of trust and respect between us. In conclusion, I believe it is crucial for us to address this matter promptly and professionally to maintain a respectful and harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. I trust that you will act responsibly and take the necessary steps to rectify this situation immediately. Failure to address this matter appropriately will leave me with no choice but to explore other legal avenues to protect my rights and seek appropriate compensation for any damages incurred. I hope we can find a mutually agreeable resolution to this issue. Please consider this letter as an earnest request for an immediate response and a definitive course of action. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
