[Coral Springs Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repair] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of the current deplorable condition of the premises I am leasing from you at [Property Address] in Coral Springs, Florida. Regrettably, the current state of the property violates applicable housing laws and regulations, rendering it uninhabitable for me and my family. This letter serves as formal notice pursuant to the Florida Statutes and our rental agreement in an attempt to rectify this untenable situation. First and foremost, I must raise significant concerns regarding the following issues that flagrantly breach the local building codes and pose serious health and safety risks: 1. Structural Integrity: The property suffers from severe structural deficiencies, including cracks visible in walls and ceilings, sagging floors, and a compromised foundation. These conditions jeopardize the stability and safety of the premises, putting us at risk of potential accidents or collapsing. 2. Plumbing System: The plumbing system in the property is in a state of disrepair. We constantly experience water leaks from numerous pipes, persistent drain clogs resulting in unsanitary backups, and a complete lack of hot water supply throughout the dwelling. This condition not only severely hampers our ability to carry out daily activities but also promotes the growth of mold and mildew. 3. Electrical Hazards: Electrical outlets and switches throughout the property exhibit various malfunctions, such as loose connections, faulty wiring, and inadequate grounding. These hazardous conditions significantly increase the risk of electrical fires and electrical shock, putting our lives in imminent danger. 4. Pest Infestation: The property has become infested with a wide range of pests, including rodents, cockroaches, and termites. Despite repeated notifications, no appropriate measures have been taken to address this issue. The infestation poses health risks and compromises the cleanliness and habitability of the premises. 5. Lack of Adequate Heating and Cooling: The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in the unit is completely non-functional. As a result, we are subjected to extreme temperatures, making it impossible to maintain a comfortable and livable environment. Given the severity of these violations, I kindly request that you initiate immediate repairs to address these dangerous shortcomings within the shortest period legally permissible (as stipulated under Florida law). I'm sure you agree that these living conditions not only violate my rights as a tenant but also contravene local housing regulations. Failure to make the necessary repairs within the specified timeframe will leave me with no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies provided by the State of Florida and our rental agreement, including the withholding of rent, filing a complaint with the local housing authority, and potentially seeking damages for any losses or injuries incurred due to your negligence. I hope this letter serves as a wake-up call to address these pressing concerns promptly. I also kindly request to receive written confirmation of your intentions to rectify these violations and a proposed timeline for the repairs within [number of days as per the local regulations]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve these issues amicably and without further legal intervention. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided phone number or email address to discuss the necessary steps to restore the premises to a habitable condition.
