FAQs
You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers…
Do I need a lawyer to create and send a landlord Cease and Desist letter?
No! Cease and Desist letters are not legal documents. While some people choose an attorney to write and send their letters, it’s not required.
However, if your Cease and Desist letter is ignored, you need to make the decision on whether you have a valid claim and if you should start a court case.
How should I send my letter?
We recommend sending any Cease and Desist letter using certified mail (or any delivery service that requires the recipient’s signature) so you can ensure it was delivered.
How can I best use a Cease and Desist letter?
A Cease and Desist letter is the first step in protecting your legal rights.
If you have a dispute, you can use a Cease and Desist letter to outline possible consequences and legal repercussions for the other party. Examples include if…
- your intellectual property rights have been violated (ie. patent infringement, copyright infringement, etc)
- you’re the victim of defamation or harassment, or…
- you have a civil dispute with your landlord related to your rental agreement, how you are paying rent, entering without your consent, or the general condition of your house/apartment.
More often than not, a simple Cease and Desist letter is all it takes to resolve your conflict.
Is a Cease and Desist letter enforceable?
Cease and desist letters are not legal documents, and thus aren’t enforceable in court. However, legal proceedings can be extremely time-consuming and expensive, so a demand letter is a good first step if you want to avoid a court date and/or start settlement negotiations.
If you need to take the next step to enforce your rights, you will need to start a civil claim and initiate court proceedings with a lawyer.
How is a Cease and Desist letter different from a cease and desist order?
A Cease and Desist letter is a document that is written and sent to a third party in an attempt to get them to stop a specific action. These are not legal documents and are not legally binding.
A cease and desist order is an order made by a court, government agency, or regulatory body that is enforceable. These desist orders are typically part of some legal action taken against you.
The recipient refuses to comply with the letter. What’s next?
Sometimes, the recipient will choose to ignore the letter or respond in a less-than-ideal way. In this situation, you have to decide if you would like to create a legal issue and file suit against them.
