It has come to my notice that you have failed to comply with essential building codes, compromising the health, safety, and livability of my home. As a tenant and resident of your property, it is my primary expectation that I reside in a secure and habitable environment. Unfortunately, the current condition of the building has left me deeply concerned and distressed, prompting me to take immediate action by reaching out to you. Upon thorough research and investigation, I have determined that multiple building code violations exist within the premises, rendering it untenantable due to the following reasons: 1. Electrical Hazards: Numerous electrical outlets and fixtures in the property are faulty, outdated, or improperly installed, posing a high risk of fire and electrocution. 2. Plumbing Deficiencies: The plumbing system suffers from severe leakages, water damage, and inadequate water pressure, leading to potential mold growth, structural damage, and substantial health risks. 3.

Structural Integrity: Significant structural issues such as cracks, sagging floors, and deteriorating walls have been observed, jeopardizing the overall stability of the building and endangering its occupants. 5. Insect or Pest Infestation: I have noticed repeated instances of pests and insects invading the premises, indicating a failure to maintain appropriate pest control measures, which can significantly impact health and diminish the overall livability of the property. Considering the aforementioned violations, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues in compliance with the applicable building codes and regulations in Tampa, Florida. As my landlord, it is your legal duty to maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition. To ensure a timely resolution, I propose the following remedies: 1.
