[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Today’s Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue concerning the heating system in my rental unit located at [Your Address]. I regret to inform you that the heater in my unit is broken, posing safety concerns and rendering it inadequate for its intended purpose. It has come to my attention that the heater is not functioning properly, which has created an uncomfortable and potentially hazardous living environment. Despite numerous attempts to adjust and troubleshoot the heater, it fails to emit warm air, leaving me and my family in an unsuitable condition, particularly during these cold winter months. The broken heating system poses a substantial health and safety risk, as prolonged exposure to low temperatures can lead to various health complications, especially for vulnerable individuals such as children, the elderly, or those with compromised immune systems. Furthermore, the inability to maintain a warm and cozy living space greatly diminishes the habitability of the unit, as warmth is an essential requirement for any livable dwelling. As a responsible tenant, I have fulfilled all my obligations under the lease agreement, including timely rental payments and maintaining the unit in good condition. I kindly request that you promptly arrange for a licensed and qualified professional technician to assess and repair the broken heater without delay. I believe it is in both our interests to address this matter urgently to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment as mandated by rental laws and regulations. In accordance with applicable laws and the terms of our lease agreement, I kindly request that the necessary repairs be completed within 48 hours from the receipt of this notice. If, for any reason, this deadline cannot be met, please understand that I may be compelled to explore other legal remedies available to me, such as withholding rent until the issue is resolved or contacting the appropriate housing authority to investigate the matter further. I remain committed to fostering a mutually beneficial tenant-landlord relationship, and I trust that you will take prompt action to rectify this issue. I strongly believe that prioritizing the wellbeing of your tenants and providing suitable living conditions is paramount to maintaining a positive rental experience. Furthermore, I kindly request written confirmation from you acknowledging receipt of this notice, detailing the steps you will take to address and rectify the heater issue promptly. This will serve as paramount documentation in case further action is required to safeguard my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. Please address all correspondence regarding this matter to the contact information provided above. I look forward to a swift resolution and the restoration of a warm and comfortable living environment. Sincerely, [Your Name] Alternative Letter Types: 1.
