I am writing to inform you of a critical issue concerning the heater in my rental property at [mention property address]. Addressing this issue promptly is essential for the safety, comfort, and well-being of both myself and any other occupants of the property. This letter serves as a formal notice of the broken, unsafe, or inadequate heater and a demand for its immediate repair or replacement. I regret to inform you that the heater in the rental unit has either ceased to function properly or exhibits clear signs of danger, putting me and others at risk. This situation is unacceptable, particularly during the colder months when maintaining appropriate indoor temperature is crucial. I believe this issue falls under the jurisdiction of your responsibility as outlined in our rental agreement and in accordance with Florida state laws. To provide further clarity, I would like to describe the specific problems I have encountered: 1. Insufficient Heating: The heater has shown a significant decrease in performance, failing to maintain a comfortable and healthy living environment. Despite adjusting the thermostat settings to higher temperatures, the heater remains ineffective and fails to adequately warm the premises. 2. Emergent Safety Concerns: Upon inspection, I have noticed certain hazardous conditions associated with the heating system. These include but are not limited to strange odors, unusual sounds, or visible damages such as sparks, exposed wiring, or a constant release of fumes. These signs of malfunction raise serious concerns about the safety of the heating system. Given the critical nature of this matter, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the heating issue. I understand that the rights and responsibilities of both tenants and landlords are protected under Florida law (Florida Statutes Chapter 83), which mandates landlords to provide habitable premises and promptly address maintenance concerns. I trust that you will fulfill your legal obligations by ensuring that the heater is repaired or replaced by a licensed and qualified professional within the shortest possible time frame. Furthermore, I also request that you provide written confirmation of the repair schedule and the steps that will be taken to resolve this matter. Should you fail to address this issue within a reasonable timeframe, I would be left with no choice but to explore my rights under applicable laws, which may include withholding rent, seeking alternative accommodations until the issue is resolved, or invoking any necessary legal proceedings to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that we can resolve this matter expeditiously and amicably. I appreciate your prompt attention in rectifying this issue, as it is essential for ensuring a safe and habitable living environment. Please contact me at [your phone number] or via email at [your email address] to discuss the next steps or to arrange for an inspection of the heating system.
