Subject: Urgent Demand for Remedy Due to Landlord's Failure to Comply with Building Codes, Jeopardizing Tenant's Health and Safety Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious matter regarding the condition of my rented property, located at [address] in Jurupa Valley, California. It has come to my attention that you have failed to comply with necessary building codes, which is resulting in a highly unsafe and untenantable living situation. I demand immediate action to remedy these issues to ensure the health, safety, and livability of the property per our lease agreement and the established laws. First and foremost, I would like to bring to your attention the inadequate smoke alarms installed in the property. According to California building codes, functioning smoke alarms are required in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on each level of the dwelling. Unfortunately, the current smoke alarm system is outdated, malfunctioning, and unable to provide adequate protection in the event of a fire emergency. This blatant disregard for the fire safety regulations poses a severe risk to my life and the lives of my family members. Furthermore, there are notable concerns regarding electrical hazards throughout the premises. Multiple outlets exhibit sparks, emit a burning odor, or show signs of loose wiring. These hazardous conditions not only jeopardize our safety but also increase the likelihood of fire or electrocution incidents. It is your responsibility as the landlord to promptly address these issues for the well-being of all occupants. Moreover, I recently discovered a severe pest infestation in the property. It appears that the premises have not been properly treated or maintained to prevent pest invasions. This infestation is not only unsightly, but it also poses health risks as various pests can spread diseases and cause allergies. Living under such unsanitary conditions is unacceptable and requires immediate resolution. Additionally, there are substantial leaks in the plumbing system, resulting in extensive water damage throughout the property. Mold growth has become evident in multiple areas, which poses significant health risks, particularly to individuals with respiratory issues. This neglect of repairing the plumbing infrastructure has led to an untenantable condition, making several rooms uninhabitable and affecting our quality of life. Given the severity of the aforementioned issues, I demand that you arrange for a thorough inspection of the property by a certified building inspector within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 business days]. The inspection report must clearly outline all code violations, prioritize remedial actions, and specify the required timeframe for completion. Based on the inspection report, I expect you to promptly initiate the necessary repairs and improvements to bring the property up to code and restore its habitability. Failure to take immediate action will leave me with no choice but to exercise my legal rights, which may include filing a complaint with the relevant authorities, withholding rent, or pursuing legal action to seek compensation for damages and relocation expenses. I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you understand the importance of complying with building codes and ensuring a safe living environment for your tenants. I kindly request that you treat this matter with the utmost urgency and respond in writing within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 5 business days], confirming your plan of action to rectify these issues. Furthermore, I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter.
