Title: Tempe, Arizona: Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Code Violations Affecting Health and Safety — Demand for Remedy Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention several building code violations that are negatively impacting my health, safety, and the habitability of the rental premises. As you may know, it is your responsibility as a landlord to ensure that the property complies with all applicable building codes enforced by the city of Tempe, Arizona. I have identified the following violations of building codes affecting health and safety or resulting in an untenantable condition: 1. Issue 1 (Keyword: Building Code Violation): Describe the specific building code violation, such as faulty electrical wiring, broken smoke detectors, or inadequate fire exits. Provide evidence or photographs to illustrate the problem clearly. 2. Issue 2 (Keyword: Tenant's Health and Safety): Outline another violation that directly impacts the tenant's health and safety, like mold growth due to a water leak or the presence of pests that pose health risks. Remember to include supporting evidence for credibility. 3. Issue 3 (Keyword: Habitable Condition): Explain any additional factors that render the property untenantable, such as broken locks compromising security, non-functional plumbing facilities, or excessive noise pollution caused by neighbors or faulty structure. Demand for Remedy: I kindly request that you address these building code violations promptly, as they represent significant risks to my health and safety. Furthermore, the untenantable conditions greatly hinder my ability to fully utilize the premises as intended. To ensure compliance with the building codes and to rectify these issues effectively, I demand the following remedies: 1. Timely Repairs (Keyword: Building Code Compliance): I request that you promptly schedule licensed professionals to inspect and repair the identified building code violations. Timely attention to these repairs will not only ensure my safety but also prevent further property damage that may incur additional costs. 2. Health and Safety Measures (Keyword: Tenant's Well-being): Similarly, I urge you to implement measures to eliminate the health and safety hazards immediately. This may include hiring professionals to eradicate pests, conduct mold remediation, or install appropriate safety devices like fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors. 3. Habitability Restoration (Keyword: Property Condition): To restore the premises to a habitable condition, it is essential that you address the untenantable factors raised in this letter. This may involve fixing non-functional plumbing, securing perimeter locks, or addressing any other deficiencies that affect my comfort and well-being as a tenant. Conclusion: Please be aware that failure to address these issues within a reasonable timeframe may leave me with no alternative but to pursue legal action, seek rent abatement, or even consider terminating the lease agreement due to breach of your responsibilities as a landlord. I trust that you will take immediate action to remedy these code violations and prioritize the health, safety, and habitability of the premises. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution.
