[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Notice to Cease Retaliatory Threats to Evict or Retaliatory Eviction Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I am aware of my rights as a tenant under the laws of Jacksonville, Florida. As per my understanding, retaliation against a tenant for exercising their legal rights, such as requesting repairs, reporting code violations, or participating in a tenant association, is strictly prohibited by the Jacksonville Residential Tenant Bill of Rights. I am saddened to report that I have recently become aware of what appear to be retaliatory threats from you to evict me due to my legitimate concerns, requests, or actions. Please be advised that such actions not only contravene the Jacksonville Residential Tenant Bill of Rights, but they also undermine the principles of fair and equitable housing practices. It is crucial that, as a responsible landlord, you refrain from engaging in any form of retaliation against me. I kindly request that you cease all retaliatory threats to evict me or engage in a retaliatory eviction immediately. I wish to continue my tenancy undisturbed and in accordance with my legal rights. Please note that retaliatory eviction, as defined in the Jacksonville Residential Tenant Bill of Rights, includes any attempt to terminate my lease agreement, restrict my access to the property, increase my rent, decrease services, or create conditions that render my unit uninhabitable in response to my legitimate actions. I am prepared to take legal action if necessary to protect my rights as a tenant. I value our landlord-tenant relationship and seek a resolution that promotes fairness and cooperation. Therefore, I kindly request that we engage in open and constructive communication to address any concerns or misunderstandings that may have led to this situation. I would appreciate if you could provide a written response within [reasonable time frame, typically 10-14 days] to confirm your understanding of this matter and assure me that you will desist from any further retaliatory actions. In the event that this matter remains unresolved, I will have no choice but to seek legal counsel and take appropriate action to protect my rights. I sincerely hope that it will not come to this and that we can find an amicable resolution that respects the rights of both parties involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
