I am writing to inform you of the current state of the premises I am renting from you at [rental property address]. It has come to my attention that the conditions of the property are in violation of various laws and regulations, rendering it uninhabitable. I have taken the necessary steps to research the applicable laws regarding the standards of habitability, as mandated by the Birmingham, Alabama jurisdiction. According to Section [relevant section number] of the Birmingham Housing Code and [any other relevant laws/ordinances], it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the rental property meets certain health, safety, and structural standards. Unfortunately, the current state of the premises clearly violates these regulations, and I am left with no option but to notify you of the need for immediate repairs. Here is a detailed list of the issues that make the premises uninhabitable: 1. [Issue 1]: [Include a comprehensive description of the first issue, such as plumbing problems, electrical hazards, structural damage, etc.]. 2. [Issue 2]: [Describe the second issue, providing specific details]. 3. [Issue 3]: [Elaborate on the third issue, explaining its impact on the habitability of the property]. Please note that these issues not only pose a threat to my health and safety but also significantly interfere with my quiet enjoyment of the property, as stipulated in the lease agreement. Moreover, the aforementioned violations create a breach of your legal duty as the landlord to provide habitable living conditions. To rectify this situation promptly, I kindly request that you arrange for the necessary repairs to make the premises habitable within [reasonable time period, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter. The repairs should cover all the issues mentioned above and be conducted by qualified professionals who meet the legal requirements. I would also appreciate receiving written confirmation from you detailing the specific actions you will take to address these violations and the estimated timeline for completion. It is important to note that failure to address these problems within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no choice but to explore other legal options available to me as a tenant. Lastly, I kindly request that you inform me, in writing, of any applicable laws, regulations, or building codes you believe exempt you from the responsibility to repair or resolve these issues, if any such exemption applies. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will uphold your obligations as a responsible landlord and take the necessary steps to ensure that the rental property meets the required standards of habitability.
