Subject: Re: Response to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Noncompliant Condition Caused by Landlord's Own Deliberate or Negligent Act Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I received your Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance, dated [date], wherein you alleged that the noncompliant condition within [rental property address] was caused by my own deliberate or negligent act. After carefully reviewing your notice and considering the circumstances, I feel compelled to present my response, outlining the factual details and addressing any misconceptions that may have arisen. Firstly, I would like to emphasize my commitment to maintaining a safe and habitable living environment within the rented premises. As a responsible tenant, I have promptly reported any issues that required your attention, adhering to the terms of our lease agreement. This includes the incident relating to the current noncompliant condition, which I believe was solely a result of your actions or negligence. To provide a comprehensive account of the situation, I would like to bring your attention to the following key points: 1. Description of the Noncompliant Condition: — Clearly describe the specific noncompliant condition that exists and detail how it affects the habitability or safety of the property. — Provide any evidence or documentation (e.g., photographs, video recordings) that support your claims. 2. Sequence of Events Leading to the Noncompliant Condition: — Present a chronological order of events leading up to the noncompliant condition, highlighting any interactions or communications with the landlord related to the issue. — Refer to any maintenance requests or repairs that were officially reported and inquire about the landlord's actions or lack thereof. 3. Documentation of Tenant's Compliance: — Highlight any instances where you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a tenant and maintained the property according to the lease agreement. — Mention any rent payments made consistently and on time, as well as your efforts in keeping the rental unit clean and damage-free. 4. Landlord's Responsibility and Negligence: — Clearly explain how the noncompliant condition resulted from the landlord's deliberate act or negligence. — If applicable, provide evidence of the landlord's failure to address previously reported issues that may have contributed to the current condition. 5. Request for Timely Repair and Rectification: — Express your expectation for the prompt resolution of the noncompliant condition by the landlord. — Propose a reasonable timeframe for completing the necessary repairs, considering the urgency and severity of the situation. I kindly request that you reconsider the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance, taking into account the information provided above. I believe that a fair evaluation of the circumstances will reveal that the noncompliant condition was not caused by my deliberate or negligent act but by the landlord's own actions or negligence. As an alternative to resorting to legal measures, I would appreciate an open dialogue to resolve this matter amicably. Should you require any additional information or evidence to support my claims, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to your prompt attention and a mutually satisfactory resolution. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
