Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I recently received your Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance regarding the noncompliant condition in my rented property at [address]. After careful evaluation, I would like to address the situation and bring to your attention that this noncompliant condition has been caused solely due to your deliberate or negligent acts as the landlord. Firstly, it is important to highlight the specific noncompliant condition that exists within the property. [Describe the condition in detail, such as leaking pipes, faulty electrical wiring, mold growth, or structural damage.] These issues not only pose potential health and safety hazards but also significantly impact my ability to fully enjoy the property. Upon moving in, I had high expectations of a well-maintained and habitable living environment. However, as the lease agreement obligates you to provide and maintain such conditions, it is disheartening to discover that these problems exist due to your own deliberate actions or negligent behavior. Your duty as the landlord includes ensuring the property is safe, secure, and in compliance with all applicable housing and safety codes. I have made multiple attempts to report and rectify these issues. [Provide a detailed account of the communication between you and the landlord regarding these concerns, including dates and methods of contact.] Despite my repeated notifications, preventative measures or repairs have not been undertaken to address the noncompliant conditions. This lack of action has left me in a compromised living situation, which is both frustrating and unfair. As per the lease agreement and the laws governing rental properties in Huntsville, Alabama, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues and bring the property into compliance. Failure to do so would not only be a violation of our agreement but may also result in potential legal consequences. Specific actions I request include [be explicit about repairs or actions needed to rectify the noncompliant condition]. Additionally, I urge you to consider compensating me for the inconvenience, potential health risks, and any expenses incurred as a result of your deliberate or negligent acts. Compensation could include a reduction in rent, reimbursement for temporary lodging during repairs, or reimbursement for any repair expenses I have incurred out of necessity. I trust that you will promptly address these matters to rectify the noncompliant condition caused solely by your actions as the landlord. I highly value our landlord-tenant relationship and hope this matter can be resolved amicably, ensuring a safe and habitable living environment as it was promised at the beginning of our tenancy. Furthermore, I kindly request a written response within [reasonable time frame] to confirm your plan of action to resolve these issues and any potential compensation. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within the given timeframe, I may have no choice but to seek legal advice and take appropriate action to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters. I look forward to a swift resolution and continuing our lease agreement on good terms.
