This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a demand letter from Tenant to Landlord demanding that leased conditions be repaired or remedied within ten days and made compliant with building codes. The condition of the leased premises are currently unsafe and/or unhealthy.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention some pressing concerns regarding the building codes and their impact on the health, safety, and overall livability of the premises I am currently renting at [address]. As a responsible tenant, it is my sincere duty to inform you about these violations and request prompt action to remedy them. First and foremost, it has come to my attention that several building code violations have been identified within the property. These violations pose a significant risk to my health and safety, as well as that of other tenants. Key areas of concern include: 1. Electrical hazards: There are exposed wires, faulty outlets, and malfunctioning electrical fixtures throughout the property. This poses a severe fire hazard and increases the likelihood of electrical accidents. 2. Plumbing issues: Persistent leaks, blocked drains, and malfunctioning fixtures have created unsanitary conditions within the premises. Such issues not only compromise hygiene but may also lead to significant water damage and mold growth if left unaddressed. 3. Inadequate fire safety measures: The property lacks essential fire safety features such as functioning smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and clearly marked emergency exits. This violation puts all occupants at a tremendous risk, as it hinders quick evacuation during emergencies. Additionally, I would like to emphasize that these building code infractions render the premises untenantable. This means that the property fails to meet the minimum standards of habitability required by the law. Due to these violations, I am unable to fully enjoy the premises as intended, and my rights as a tenant have been compromised. In light of the aforementioned violations, I kindly request that you undertake the following actions within the shortest possible time frame: 1. Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the property, addressing all identified building code violations promptly. 2. Engage licensed professionals, such as electricians and plumbers, to rectify the electrical, plumbing, and fire safety issues. 3. Provide proper certification and documentation once all violations have been resolved, ensuring compliance with building codes and establishing the habitability of the premises. Please be aware that failure to promptly address these issues will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under the law. I believe it is in our best interest to resolve this matter amicably and ensure that the property is in full compliance with the applicable building codes. I kindly request that you provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe], detailing your planned actions to address these concerns. Additionally, please inform me of any upcoming inspections or repairs to be carried out, as I would appreciate the opportunity to be present during the process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to address the building code violations promptly, ensuring the health, safety, and habitation of the property. I look forward to receiving your response and witnessing swift action being taken. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well.
