Landlord Harassment Cease & Desist Letter — Protect Your Tenant Rights

California tenants have strong legal protections against landlord harassment. If your landlord is engaging in illegal behavior to force you out — entering without notice, shutting off utilities, or threatening you — a formal cease and desist letter puts them on notice and creates evidence for legal action.
