[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Response to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Noncompliant condition caused by Landlord's own deliberate or negligent act Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the notice I received from you on [date], which states your intention to terminate my tenancy due to noncompliance resulting from a noncompliant condition caused by your deliberate or negligent act. I respectfully disagree with the allegations made in your notice and would like to address each concern individually. 1. State the noncompliant condition: Firstly, I would like to clarify the specific noncompliant condition that you have mentioned in your notice. It is important to accurately describe the condition and provide any relevant details or documentation that support your claims. For example, if the noncompliant condition pertains to a leaky roof, you could state: According to your notice, the noncompliant condition is the leaky roof in my rented unit. However, I dispute the notion that this condition was caused by any actions or negligence on my part. 2. Describe landlord's deliberate or negligent act: Next, you should outline the deliberate or negligent act on the part of the landlord that has caused or contributed to the noncompliant condition. Be specific and provide any evidence or documentation (e.g., photographs, repair invoices, witness statements) that support your claim. For instance: Upon thorough inspection and investigation, it has become evident that the leaky roof is a direct result of your failure to adequately maintain and repair the property. The evidence I have gathered includes photographs taken at the time of the leak, invoices from professional roofers who have identified your negligent maintenance practices, and statements from other tenants who have experienced similar issues. 3. State tenant's adherence to obligations and responsibilities: Emphasize your commitment to complying with all tenant obligations and responsibilities, particularly regarding property maintenance and promptly reporting any issues. By doing so, you can establish that you have not contributed to the noncompliant condition and have acted responsibly. For example: I would like to remind you of my diligent adherence to all responsibilities as a tenant throughout my tenancy. I have promptly reported any maintenance issues, including the leaky roof in question, to your office, and have ensured that my rent payments are made in a timely manner. 4. Request for immediate repairs: Finally, make a clear request for the landlord to conduct necessary repairs promptly to rectify the noncompliant condition. Specify a reasonable timeframe within which repairs should be completed and express your willingness to cooperate during the repair process. For instance: I kindly request that you address the leaky roof immediately to rectify the noncompliant condition caused by your prior negligence. I propose a reasonable timeframe of [number of days] for the repairs to be completed. I assure you of my full cooperation during this process, including granting access to the unit at your convenience. In conclusion, I believe it is clear that I am not responsible for the noncompliant condition caused by your deliberate or negligent act. I kindly ask you to reconsider your decision to terminate my tenancy and instead focus on rectifying the issue promptly. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
