Title: Costa Mesa California Letter from Tenant to Landlord Responding to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Noncompliant Condition Caused by Landlord's Own Deliberate or Negligent Act Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respond to the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance that I received recently. According to the notice, it appears that the noncompliant condition at the rental property has been caused by your deliberate or negligent act. Please allow me to clarify the situation and address the issue promptly. This correspondence aims to ensure open communication and seek a fair resolution for both parties involved. 1. Description of the Noncompliant Condition: Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the noncompliant condition cited in the notice. Specify the exact issue accurately, such as plumbing problems causing water leaks, black mold growth, electrical issues, or any other relevant condition that applies to your situation. Provide specific details like time of occurrence, observable damages, safety concerns, and any evidence supporting your claim. This will help emphasize the severity and urgency in resolving the matter. 2. Landlord's Responsibility: Next, it is vital to remind the landlord of their legal responsibilities as outlined in the Costa Mesa and California landlord-tenant laws. Briefly highlight the relevant clauses or sections that apply to the specific condition being addressed. Mention specific responsibilities related to landlord's duty of care, repairs and maintenance, and adherence to local building codes. This demonstrates that the noncompliant condition is indeed the landlord's responsibility and not due to any actions or neglect on my part as a tenant. 3. Impact on Tenant's Rights and Quality of Life: Describe how the noncompliant condition has negatively affected your rights as a tenant and your overall quality of life. Discuss any health hazards, inconvenience, or discomfort caused by the condition. Emphasize the impact on your ability to fully utilize and enjoy the premises as intended. Mention any disruptions to your daily activities, potential damage to personal belongings, or potential expenses incurred due to the noncompliant condition. Remain factual and objective when addressing these concerns. 4. Request for Immediate Action: Clearly state your expectation that the landlord takes immediate action to address and rectify the noncompliant condition. It could involve requesting a specific repair or remediation task to be completed within a reasonable timeframe. Emphasize the importance of resolving the issue promptly to prevent further damage or inconvenience. Politely request a written response confirming the actions to be taken and the expected timeline. 5. Resolution and Agreement: In the closing section, express your willingness to cooperate with the landlord to reach a fair resolution. Offer to discuss potential solutions and mediation if necessary. Suggest reasonable alternatives if applicable, such as temporary relocation during repairs, rent abatement until the issue is resolved, or mutually agreed upon compensation for damages or inconveniences caused. Reinforce the importance of maintaining a good landlord-tenant relationship throughout the process. Conclusion: In conclusion, this letter serves as my prompt response to the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance, and it addresses the noncompliant condition that has resulted from your deliberate or negligent act.
