Title: Inglewood California Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety or Resulting in Untenantable Conditions — Demand for Remedy --- Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the urgent matter of noncompliance with building codes in our residential property located in Inglewood, California. It has come to my attention that certain violations are affecting the health and safety of myself and fellow tenants, leading to an untenantable condition. I kindly request immediate action to address these issues, as our well-being is at stake. As you are aware, both state and local legislation mandate landlords to adhere to specific building codes to ensure the safety and habitability of rented premises. By failing to maintain compliance with these codes, you are not only jeopardizing our health but also violating your legal obligations as a landlord. The following are the key building code violations that require your attention: 1. Electrical Safety: Numerous outlets throughout the property are not properly grounded, and wiring appears outdated and exposed in various locations. This poses a significant risk of electrical malfunctions and potential hazards, including fires and electrocution. 2. Plumbing and Water Supply: The property experiences frequent plumbing issues, such as leaking pipes, low water pressure, and unreliable hot water supply. These conditions impede basic hygiene and sanitation, making the premises untenantable and posing health risks. 3. Structural Integrity: There are evident structural damages, including significant cracks in walls, ceilings, and floors. These damages compromise the stability of the property, increasing the probability of accidents and potential injury to tenants. 4. Pest Infestation: The property has shown signs of a severe pest infestation, including but not limited to rodents, insects, and mold growth. Such conditions jeopardize our health and render the premises untenantable, requiring immediate pest control measures. 5. Inadequate Security Measures: The absence of proper security measures, such as malfunctioning locks, insufficient lighting in common areas, and broken windows, threatens our safety and puts us at risk of potential crimes or intrusions. I sincerely appreciate your prompt attention in resolving these code violations and bringing the property back to a safe, habitable condition. In compliance with the lease agreement and applicable laws, I request the following remedies: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the property with a certified building inspector and address any violations identified promptly. 2. Initiate immediate repairs or hire qualified professionals to rectify the electrical, plumbing, and structural issues, ensuring compliance with building codes. 3. Implement pest control measures to eliminate the infestation and prevent future occurrences. 4. Enhance security measures by repairing or replacing broken locks, ensuring proper lighting, and securing windows. Furthermore, I kindly request regular updates on the progress made toward remedying these violations. It is crucial that these issues are resolved within a reasonable timeframe to ensure our health, safety, and overall well-being. Please consider this letter as a formal demand for remedy. If no action is taken within a reasonable period (as mandated by applicable laws), I may have no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant, including reporting the violations to the appropriate regulatory authorities. I believe that we can resolve these concerns amicably and maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship. I look forward to your prompt response and a swift resolution to these pressing matters. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
