Subject: Urgent Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater — Requesting Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a concerning issue regarding the heater in [Apartment/House Unit Number] at [Property Address] in Aurora, Colorado. I regret to inform you that the heater in my unit is currently in a state of disrepair. It is evident that the heating system is compromised, rendering it both unsafe and inadequate for maintaining a comfortable living environment. As the colder months approach, this matter becomes all the more urgent, and immediate action is necessary. To provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the problem, I would like to outline the specific issues I have observed: 1. Non-functioning Heater: The heater fails to produce any heat, leaving the apartment freezing, which is intolerable and affects my ability to carry out daily activities effectively. 2. Unsafe Operating Conditions: In addition to the lack of heat, the heater emits unusual sounds, emits a burning smell, or in some cases, fails to turn on altogether. This poses a significant fire hazard and puts both my personal safety and that of the entire property at risk. 3. Inadequate Temperature Control: Even when the heating system does manage to function sporadically, it fails to maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature, causing discomfort and potential health concerns. Given the seriousness of these issues, I kindly request that you initiate an immediate inspection and undertake any necessary repairs or replacements as soon as possible. I believe that addressing this matter promptly is crucial to ensuring a safe and habitable living environment for all residents of your property. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with an estimated timeframe for resolving this issue. Please keep in mind that Colorado law requires landlords to provide a habitable living environment, including adequate heating, during the winter months. If this matter is not addressed within a reasonable amount of time, as defined by the State of Colorado, I may have no choice but to pursue further action, which may include exploring legal remedies or contacting relevant authorities. I value our positive tenant-landlord relationship and believe that we can resolve this matter amicably. However, the urgency of this situation necessitates immediate attention and action. I kindly request that you acknowledge the receipt of this notice in writing, as well as provide clear communication on the steps being taken to rectify the heating issue in my unit. I can be reached at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] in case you require any additional information or would like to arrange an inspection of the premises. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will take swift action to ensure the well-being and comfort of your tenants.
