I am writing to bring to your attention the unsatisfactory living conditions that I have been experiencing at my rental property located at [rental property address], in [City, State]. I would like to request immediate action to address these concerns in accordance with my rights as a tenant in the state of Mississippi. Firstly, I would like to highlight the following issues that have caused significant inconvenience and discomfort: 1. Mold and mildew: Despite my consistent efforts to maintain proper ventilation and cleanliness, an ongoing issue with mold and mildew growth in various areas of the property remains unresolved. This poses a serious health risk to me and my family, and I request that you promptly assess and address this issue to ensure a safe living environment. 2. Persistent plumbing problems: The plumbing system in the property has been faulty since I moved in [mention the date of moving in]. Instances of recurrent leaks, slow drainage, and water discoloration have occurred in the kitchen and bathroom, causing water damage and potential health hazards. I urge you to hire a professional plumber to conduct a thorough inspection and perform necessary repairs to restore the functionality of these essential amenities. 3. Pest infestation: I have noticed a severe pest infestation, particularly with rodents and insects, which has negatively impacted our quality of life. Despite submitting previous complaints, the issue remains unaddressed. I kindly request that you engage a licensed pest control service provider to eliminate these pests and undertake preventive measures to ensure a pest-free living environment. Moreover, I would like to introduce you to the Mississippi Landlord and Tenant Act, which was put in place to protect the rights and interests of both landlords and tenants. It is important to note that landlords are legally obliged to maintain rental properties in a safe and habitable condition. Failure to rectify the aforementioned issues within a reasonable timeframe could potentially result in legal action being taken against you. In light of the circumstances, I kindly request the following actions to be taken: 1. Prompt and comprehensive inspection of the property to assess and document the existing living conditions. 2. Timely remediation of all identified issues, including mold and mildew eradication, plumbing repairs, and pest control. 3. Regular maintenance plan to ensure the long-term habitability of the property. 4. Compensation for any damages incurred as a result of the aforementioned issues, to be discussed and agreed upon in detail. I strongly encourage open and timely communication to address these concerns and find a satisfactory resolution. As a responsible tenant, I have fulfilled all my obligations and expect that you, as the landlord, fulfill yours in ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter within [mention a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] and inform me of the steps you intend to take to rectify the situation. In the event of non-compliance or a lack of response, I may seek appropriate legal remedies available under Mississippi state law. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
