Title: Norwalk California Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater, Demanding Immediate Remedy --- [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Broken or Unsafe Heater with Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring an urgent matter to your attention regarding the heating system in my rented residence at [property address]. After thorough inspection and consideration, it has become apparent that the heater is either broken, unsafe, or inadequate for maintaining a habitable living environment. Hence, I demand an immediate resolution to address this issue. [Variation: Notice of Broken Heater] The primary concern focuses on the heating unit's malfunctioning, as it has failed to provide any warm air or maintain a proper temperature throughout the property. Despite my attempts to adjust the thermostat and troubleshoot the system manually, no improvement has been observed. This has significantly impacted my daily life, causing discomfort, health risks, and even potential property damage due to freezing temperatures. [Variation: Notice of Unsafe Heater] Furthermore, I have noticed alarming signs of potential safety hazards associated with the heater. [Here, provide specific details such as strange noises, unpleasant odors, visible sparks, or any symptoms of a gas leak]. These issues pose a considerable risk to my well-being and that of other residents, including potential fire hazards or exposure to hazardous gases. An immediate inspection by a qualified technician is imperative to identify and mitigate any safety risks associated with the heating system. [Variation: Notice of Inadequate Heater] Lastly, the heater's consistent inability to maintain an adequate temperature within the premises is wholly unsatisfactory. Despite reasonable efforts to utilize the provided heating settings, the unit either cycles on and off frequently or never reaches the desired warmth. This forces me to bear unreasonably chilly conditions, which affects my comfort, health, and makes the space inhabitable during cold weather. Considering these issues, I kindly request and insist on the following actions to rectify the situation promptly: 1. Immediate inspection by a licensed HVAC professional to diagnose and repair the heater adequately. 2. Should the heating system be irreparable, please provide a temporary alternative solution (e.g., portable heaters) until a permanent replacement or repair occurs. 3. Prompt communication with specific details about when the inspection or repair will take place, ensuring I am present or arranging access in accordance with the lease agreement. 4. Assurance of ongoing communication and progress updates until the heater has been restored to a functional, safe, and satisfactory state. I firmly believe that addressing this concern swiftly ensures a comfortable living environment and prevents any potential health or safety risks. Failure to comply with these demands within a reasonable timeframe may compel me to pursue available legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and the timely resolution of the heating system issue. Please respond promptly to this letter outlining your plan of action. I look forward to your cooperation and a quick resolution.
