Inadequate Heater: Even when functioning partially, the heater fails to reach a sufficient temperature to maintain a comfortable living environment during the colder months. This inadequate heating situation poses health risks to both me and my household members, especially considering the extreme weather conditions that California experiences. Given the urgency and paramount importance of this matter, I kindly request immediate remedial actions to rectify the malfunctioning heating system. As per our rental agreement, it is your responsibility to ensure that all essential amenities, such as the heating system, are in optimal working condition. I therefore kindly request the following steps to be taken immediately: 1. Dispatch a certified HVAC technician to inspect and assess the current condition of the heater. 2.

Conduct a thorough examination of the property's wiring and electrical connections to address any potential underlying issues that may have contributed to the heater malfunction. 4. Arrange for a follow-up inspection to ensure that the heating system is operational, safe, and providing adequate warmth to the premises. Please be aware that per California's tenant rights laws, I have the right to a habitable living space, which includes a functioning and safe heating system. Should these urgent concerns not be addressed within a reasonable timeframe, I will have no choice but to take appropriate legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I truly value our tenant-landlord relationship and hope that the matter can be resolved amicably and swiftly.
