Waterbury Connecticut Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice that Heater is Broken, Unsafe or Inadequate and Demand for Immediate Remedy [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken, Unsafe or Inadequate Heater Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a critical issue with the heating system in my rented property located at [Your Address], Waterbury, Connecticut. I have identified a problem with the heater that requires prompt attention and resolution in order to ensure a safe and habitable living condition. Since the onset of colder weather, I have noticed several concerning issues related to the heating system. These problems include: 1. Insufficient Heating: The heater fails to provide adequate warmth to maintain a comfortable temperature within the premises. Despite adjusting the thermostat according to the manufacturer's guidelines, the system consistently falls short of providing adequate heating levels, leaving me and my household in discomfort. 2. Frequent Breakdowns: The heating system has experienced repeated breakdowns, resulting in prolonged periods without functional heating. These extended periods expose me and my family to freezing temperatures, which not only jeopardizes our health and well-being but also violates our right to reside in a habitable dwelling. 3. Potential Safety Hazards: I have noticed unusual noises, strange odors, and even occasional smoke emitting from the heating system, signaling potential safety hazards. These anomalies not only raise concerns about fire hazards but also pose risks of carbon monoxide poisoning, as the system appears to be malfunctioning or inadequately maintained. Considering the seriousness of these issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the problems with the heating system. As outlined in our rental agreement and by Connecticut landlord-tenant laws, it is your responsibility as the landlord to provide and maintain a habitable, safe, and fully functional premises, including proper heating facilities. In light of the current circumstances, I expect the following actions to be taken without delay: 1. Immediate repairs or replacement of the faulty heating system by a professional and licensed HVAC technician to ensure proper functioning and efficiency. 2. Regular maintenance and servicing of the heating system to prevent further breakdowns and to uphold a safe and comfortable living environment throughout the duration of my tenancy. I kindly request you to provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe, usually 7-14 days] of receiving this letter, confirming your acknowledgment of the issues and your proposed plan for rectification. Failure to address these matters promptly may compel me to seek legal advice and exercise my rights under the Connecticut Landlord-Tenant Act and our rental agreement. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I trust that you will take immediate action to resolve these significant issues. I hope to see a swift and satisfactory resolution that prioritizes the comfort and safety of myself and my household.
