Subject: Urgent Notice — Heater Malfunction in [Fullerton, California] Rental Property [Date] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a concerning issue that has arisen in the rental property [Address]. It is with great concern that I inform you that the heating system in the property is in a state of disrepair and poses potential risks to the health and safety of the tenants, including myself. Despite my attempts to resolve the heating issue on my own, it has become evident that the system is beyond my capabilities as a tenant to repair. This issue is particularly concerning considering the dropping temperatures during winter, and poses not only discomfort but also health hazards for everyone residing in the property. I wish to report the following observations and problems I have encountered with the heater: 1. Inadequate Heating: The heating system fails to provide the necessary warmth required for a comfortable living environment, especially during colder periods of the day. As a result, the temperature inside the property often drops to unbearable levels, making it difficult to carry out daily activities. 2. Safety Hazards: In addition to inadequate heating, it has come to my attention that the heating system may pose safety hazards. I have noticed strange noises emanating from the furnace, evident signs of irregular functioning, and unusual smells such as burning or gas. Such indications raise legitimate concerns about the safety and condition of the heating system. Considering the above-mentioned issues, I kindly request your immediate attention and intervention to resolve this matter promptly. My expectation is that you will take the following actions for a quick remedy: 1. Inspection: I urge you to arrange for a professional inspection of the heating system by a qualified technician. This will help identify the specific problems and ascertain whether it is repairable or requires replacement. 2. Timely Repairs: Upon identification of the underlying issues, I request that you promptly schedule necessary repairs or replacements, ensuring that the heating system is fully functional and compliant with the health and safety standards. 3. Compensation for Temporary Heating Arrangements: While the repairs are being carried out, I respectfully ask for compensation, such as a reduction in rent amount or provision of alternative heating arrangements, to accommodate the inconvenience and discomfort faced due to the heating system's failures. I believe it is in both our best interests to resolve this issue promptly to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment for all tenants. As the heating system is essential to our well-being, I trust that you will prioritize this matter accordingly. Please respond to this letter within [reasonable time frame] in writing or by contacting me at [phone number] to confirm that the necessary actions are being taken to address this concern. Failure to respond or take requisite action may leave me with no option but to seek legal remedies available to me as a tenant. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your cooperation in ensuring that the heating system is brought back to proper working condition. I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you will take the necessary measures to rectify the situation without delay. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
