Title: Costa Mesa California Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Premises Leaking During Rain and Demand for Repair Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue concerning the premises I currently occupy as a tenant. It has come to my notice that during rainstorms, the property experiences leaks that compromise its habitability and may cause substantial damage if left unaddressed. This correspondence serves as both a notice of the problem and a formal request for immediate repairment, in accordance with my rights as a tenant under California law. [Optional: Choose a heading that best fits the specific issue] 1. Costa Mesa California Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Ceiling Leaks during Rain and Demand for Repair Body: The issue I wish to raise primarily concerns leaks originating from the ceiling of the rented premises whenever it rains. These leaks have become increasingly frequent and severe, causing considerable inconvenience and posing potential risks to my health and safety. I have observed water dripping, staining, and accumulating on the ceiling surface, which further exacerbates the issue and increases the likelihood of water damage or mold growth. As a responsible tenant, I promptly took actions to minimize the potential damage, such as placing buckets to collect the dripping water and safeguarding my personal belongings from moisture. However, these are temporary measures, and I believe it is the landlord's obligation to ensure the habitability and integrity of the property. California Civil Code Section 1941.1 states that "a dwelling shall be deemed untenantable if it substantially lacks... weather protection." Therefore, I kindly request that you address this matter urgently to maintain compliance with the law and safeguard the property's habitability. 2. Costa Mesa California Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Window Leaks during Rain and Demand for Repair Body: I bring to your attention a pressing issue with the windows of the rented premises, which has become increasingly apparent during the rainy season. The windows allow water infiltration during rainstorms, causing puddles and wet spots on the floors, window sills, and adjacent walls. This constant exposure to moisture is not only inconveniencing but also carries the potential risk of more significant structural damage or the growth of mold and mildew. I understand that regular maintenance may be required to upkeep the property, but I kindly ask you to expedite the necessary repairs to ensure the premises remain habitable. As a tenant, it is my right to occupy a property that meets the implied warranty of habitability, as outlined in California Civil Code Section 1941.1. I, therefore, request that immediate action is taken to address the window leaks promptly. Conclusion: In conclusion, I trust that you will attend to this matter promptly and take the necessary measures to repair the identified issue. Please provide me with a written response within a reasonable timeframe to inform me of the steps you will be taking to address and remedy the leaks. I expect that this request will be handled promptly, as delays may further exacerbate the situation and potentially cause additional damage to the property. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to resolving this matter amicably.
