Notice of Privacy Violation
Dear :
The Washington State Landlord-Tenant Act specifically forbids you from entering my unit without my consent, except in the case of a bonafide emergency. On the date(s) of _ you failed to give me proper notice of your intent to enter my dwelling unit and entered without my consent. RCW 59.18.150 of the Washington State Landlord-Tenant Act says if I give you written notice of an invasion of my rights to privacy and you continue to violate them after receipt of such notice, I am entitled to sue you in small claims court for $100 for each violation.
Next time you would like to enter my dwelling unit to show the premises to a prospective tenant or purchaser please give me the required 24 hours notice. If you would like to enter my unit to do a necessary or agreed upon repair, inspection, or improvement please be sure to give me the 48 hours notice required by law.
Cordially,
