Subject: Urgent Notice: Broken and Unsafe Heater — Immediate Remedy Required [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a significant issue concerning the heating system within the [Apartment/House Name] located in Thornton, Colorado. It has come to my notice that the heater in my rented premises is broken and poses a severe risk to my safety and well-being. With the colder weather approaching, it has become increasingly unbearable to live in the unit due to the lack of an adequately functioning heating system. The insufficiency of the heater compromises the livability and habitability of the rented property, which is a crucial aspect of my lease agreement with you. Based on my understanding as a tenant, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that all essential amenities, including heating, are in proper working condition. Unfortunately, despite my prior verbal requests and notifications, the heating system remains inoperable, thereby making it impossible to maintain a comfortable and safe living environment. Outlined below are the key concerns I have identified regarding the broken and unsafe heater: 1. Inadequate Temperature Control: The heater fails to generate a sufficient level of warmth necessary to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, especially during the chilly winter months. 2. Health and Safety Hazards: The malfunctioning heater poses numerous health hazards as the cold temperatures can lead to respiratory problems, compromised immune systems, and increasing risk of hypothermia, particularly for individuals with medical conditions or disabilities. 3. Property Damage: The lack of proper heating not only affects the personal comfort within the premises but also threatens the integrity of the property. Extreme temperatures can cause damages to the structure, pipes, and other belongings, potentially leading to costly repairs. In light of these concerns, it is imperative that you take immediate action to rectify the broken and defective heating system. I kindly request the following actions be undertaken promptly: 1. An inspection by a qualified heating technician, licensed by the appropriate authorities, to thoroughly assess the current condition of the heater and identify the cause of the malfunction. 2. Swift repair or replacement necessary to re-establish a safe, reliable, and fully-functioning heating system within the rented premises. Repairs should be carried out with consideration for any warranties or guarantees on the existing heating system. 3. A written response within [reasonable time frame] acknowledging receipt of this notice and specifying the actions you will take to address the issue. Additionally, please provide an estimated time frame for the completion of the repairs or replacement. Failure to address this issue promptly within the confines of the lease agreement would leave me with no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me as a tenant, such as filing a complaint with appropriate housing authorities or seeking legal counsel to ensure the landlord's obligations are fulfilled. I genuinely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and promptly, ensuring that I can continue to enjoy a safe and comfortable living environment in your rental property, as stated in our lease agreement. I remain hopeful that you understand the urgency of this situation and take the necessary steps to rectify the broken heating system. Furthermore, I trust your immediate attention to this matter and appreciate your prompt response. Furthermore, I look forward to hearing from you within [reasonable time frame].
