Subject: Urgent Attention Required: Unacceptable Living Conditions in New Mexico Rental Property Dear [Landlord/Property Manager's Name], I am writing this letter to bring your immediate attention to the unsatisfactory living conditions I have been experiencing in the rental property located at [Address of the Property]. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial to address such concerns swiftly to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment for both myself and other residents. I moved into the aforementioned property on [Move-in Date], with the expectation of enjoying a well-maintained and habitable living space. However, over the past few months, I have encountered several significant issues that undermine the basic standards of living and violate the landlord-tenant agreement. The conditions I will now describe warrant urgent attention and appropriate action from your side: 1. Mold and Dampness: The property suffers from pervasive mold growth in various areas, including the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. This poses serious health risks, such as allergies and respiratory issues, which should not be ignored. The dampness is further compounded by insufficient ventilation, leading to an unpleasant and potentially hazardous environment. 2. Plumbing Issues: The plumbing system in the property is severely flawed, causing consistent leaks, clogs, and malfunctions. Apart from the inconvenience caused by these issues, they can also result in water damage and unsanitary conditions. It is essential to have a properly functioning plumbing system to maintain a habitable living space. 3. Pest Infestation: The rental unit is infested with a variety of pests, such as rodents, insects, and spiders. Despite my continuous efforts to keep the property clean and pest-free, these unwelcome visitors persist, endangering the overall health, hygiene, and safety of the premises. Swift pest control measures should be taken to address this issue promptly. 4. Electrical Hazards: There is a serious concern regarding the electrical safety of the property. Numerous outlets are dysfunctional and suspicious wiring is visible in various areas, increasing the risk of electrical fires or shocks. Ensuring an efficient electrical system is crucial for maintaining a safe living environment. 5. Broken/Inadequate Appliances: Several appliances provided with the rental unit are either broken or inadequately maintained. For instance, the refrigerator does not cool properly, the stove burners malfunction, and the washing machine leaks water. These flaws significantly impede daily living tasks, causing unnecessary inconvenience and frustration. As per the New Mexico Tenant Rights, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the rental unit is maintained in a safe and habitable condition. It is therefore my sincere request that appropriate measures be taken immediately to address and rectify these issues. I kindly ask for a prompt resolution, ensuring that the necessary repairs, renovations, and pest control measures are undertaken without further delay. Furthermore, I request that you inform me of the steps taken to resolve the problems outlined above within [specific timeframe, e.g., 10 days]. If the issues persist or remain unaddressed, I may be compelled to pursue further legal actions to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you understand the importance of resolving these concerns promptly, ensuring a safe and satisfactory living environment as per the landlord-tenant agreement. I anticipate your swift response and resolution to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
