This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a demand letter from Tenant to Landlord demanding that leased conditions be repaired or remedied within ten days and made compliant with building codes. The condition of the leased premises are currently unsafe and/or unhealthy.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost importance regarding the compliance of the building you manage, as it directly affects my health and safety as a tenant of [property address]. Despite my previous attempts to resolve the issues at hand, I am dismayed to inform you that there are several building code violations that remain unaddressed, causing serious concerns about the habitability of the premises. First and foremost, it has come to my attention that the electrical wiring in the building is outdated and unsafe. I have noticed frequent power outages and flickering lights, which pose a significant fire hazard. As a responsible and concerned tenant, I urge you to promptly hire a licensed electrician to assess and address these issues to prevent any potential accidents or damages. Furthermore, the plumbing system in the building is in dire need of repair. I have experienced recurring leaks in my unit, leading to water damage and mold growth. This not only compromises the structural integrity of the property but also poses a severe health risk for me and other tenants. I kindly request you to engage a qualified plumber to investigate the plumbing system thoroughly and fix any leaks or faults to prevent further damage and ensure a safe living environment. Moreover, the presence of pest infestation, particularly rodents and insects, has become a constant source of distress for me. Despite my repeated attempts to maintain cleanliness, these pests continue to invade my living space, posing health risks and making the property uninhabitable. I implore you to hire a professional pest control service immediately to eradicate the infestation and implement preventive measures to safeguard against future pest-related problems. In addition to the aforementioned issues, the overall maintenance of the building has been neglected, resulting in a deteriorating condition. The common areas such as hallways, staircases, and elevators are in disrepair, creating hazards for tenants and visitors alike. It is crucial that you allocate the necessary resources to ensure regular upkeep and maintenance to prevent any accidents or injuries on the premises. As your tenant, I am disheartened by the disregard for my safety and the failure to comply with Riverside's building codes. It is my right, as well as my expectation, to reside in a safe, habitable, and well-maintained property. Therefore, I kindly demand that you take immediate action to rectify the aforementioned issues and bring the building into compliance with all applicable health and safety codes. I must remind you that failure to comply with these demands within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no choice but to exercise my legal rights, which may include withholding rent, reporting the violations to relevant authorities, or seeking legal remedies for the breach of my lease agreement and compromising my health and safety. I sincerely hope that we can reach a mutually beneficial resolution to these pressing matters. Furthermore, I eagerly await your prompt response and the necessary actions taken to remedy the issues at hand.
