Title: Miami-Dade Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety — Demand for Remedy Keywords: Miami-Dade Florida, Letter from Tenant to Landlord, Failure to Comply, Building Codes, Health and Safety, Untenantable Condition, Demand for Remedy Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue concerning the property located at [property address]. As your tenant, I have come to discover that there are significant deviations from the applicable building codes and regulations in Miami-Dade County. These violations not only compromise my health and safety but also render the property untenantable. Safety Concerns: Upon thorough inspection and consultation with experts, it has become evident that several safety hazards exist within the premises. These hazards include but are not limited to: 1. Faulty Electrical Wiring and Outdated Fixtures: The electrical system in the property appears to be outdated and poses a severe safety risk. Moreover, numerous electrical fixtures and sockets are faulty and require immediate inspection by a certified electrician. 2. Inadequate Fire Safety Measures: The absence of functional smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and clearly marked emergency exits is in direct violation of the prescribed building codes. This jeopardizes the overall safety of all tenants and residents in case of an emergency. Untenantable Conditions: Apart from the safety concerns, the current state of the property makes it inhabitable due to the following issues: 1. Plumbing and Sanitation Problems: Persistent leaking faucets, malfunctioning toilets, and poor drainage systems have caused frequent water damage and unpleasant living conditions. These issues need to be addressed promptly to remedy the untenantable condition. 2. Structural Deficiencies: Cracks in the walls, floors, and ceilings, along with a deteriorating roof, put the entire structure at risk. These abnormalities not only hinder my comfort but also potentially endanger my safety and well-being. Demand for Remedy: Given the magnitude of the concerns raised, I demand that you, as the landlord, take immediate action to address these issues. I request the following actions be taken without delay: 1. Conduct a comprehensive inspection by a certified building inspector to identify and document all code violations affecting health and safety. 2. Engage licensed professionals, such as electricians, plumbers, and contractors, to rectify all safety hazards and repair any untenantable conditions as per the requirements of Miami-Dade County building codes. 3. Provide a written schedule for the completion of all necessary repairs and maintenance work, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations within an agreed-upon timeframe. 4. Compensate for any inconvenience, costs, and damages resulting from the untenantable conditions, including the potential reimbursement of partial rent until the premises become habitable. Conclusion: I trust that you understand the gravity of the situation and recognize your legal obligations as a landlord to provide a safe and habitable dwelling. Failure to promptly address these concerns may force me to take legal action to enforce my rights as a tenant. I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect written confirmation of your commitment to resolve these issues within [reasonable timeframe]. Please provide your response in writing within [reasonable timeframe] from the date of this letter. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
