Dear Sir/Madam

INTERFERENCE WITH PEACE, COMFORT AND PRIVACY

I signed a residential tenancy agreement for the above premises on [date].

On [date] the [landlord/landlord’s agent] interfered with my peace, comfort and privacy in my use of the premises by:
•	[details of the landlord’s actions]
•	[…]
 
I draw your attention to section 50(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW) (“the Act”), which states:

“A landlord or landlord’s agent must not interfere with, or cause or permit any interference with, the reasonable peace, comfort or privacy of the tenant in using the residential premises.”

The Act provides that a breach of the above section is an offence punishable by a fine of up to $1100.

I have attached a copy of my residential tenancy agreement.

I ask that Fair Trading investigate this breach of the Act and prosecute the [landlord/landlord’s agent] for the offence. If Fair Trading decides not to take action, I ask that I be provided with written reasons for that decision.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on [phone number] if you wish to discuss this matter.

Yours faithfully,

[Your Name]
