Some examples of untenantable conditions are as follows: — Ongoing water leaks causing property damage and potential health hazards. — Persistent pests and vermin infestation despite previous reports and requests for action. — Inadequate heating and cooling, making the living conditions unbearable during extreme weather conditions. — Non-functional plumbing systems leading to sewage backups and unsanitary conditions. Demand for Remedy: In light of the aforementioned concerns, I demand that you address and rectify all building code violations within [a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter. The remedies required to make the property compliant and habitable should encompass, but not be limited to: — Prompt inspection of the property by qualified professionals to assess and address all identified health and safety issues. — Immediate remediation of mold growth, repair of leaking pipes, and resolution of electrical malfunctions to eliminate potential risks. — Provision of proper and functional smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the property. — Effective pest control measures to eradicate existing infestations and prevent their reoccurrence. — Restoration of proper ventilation systems and ensuring adequate air quality within the property. — Repairs or replacement of non-functional plumbing systems to restore hygienic conditions. Conclusion: In conclusion, failure to comply with building codes affecting health and safety or addressing the untenantable conditions is a direct violation of my rights as a tenant. I remind you of your responsibilities as a landlord to ensure the safety and well-being of your tenants. Ignoring these demands may result in legal actions or involvement of relevant authorities. I expect a prompt response regarding your course of action to rectify these issues. Failure to respond within [a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under applicable laws.
