Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the notice to terminate for noncompliance that I received from you regarding the current condition of the rental property located at [property address] in Davenport, Iowa. After careful assessment, it has become evident that the noncompliant condition mentioned in your notice has been caused as a direct result of your deliberate or negligent acts. Firstly, it is important to state that as a tenant, I have been consistently complying with the terms and conditions outlined in our lease agreement, fulfilling my obligations to pay rent on time and maintaining the property to the best of my abilities. However, despite my efforts, the noncompliant condition in question has persisted due to actions directly undertaken by you. One of the key examples of this noncompliant condition is the ongoing issue with water leakage in the bathroom. Even after notifying you promptly, the necessary repairs have not been conducted in a timely manner. This negligence has led to a significant inconvenience, as well as potential damage to personal belongings and potential health hazards stemming from mold growth. Additionally, the inadequate heating system in the rental property is another instance of noncompliance that falls exclusively under the responsibility of the landlord. The lack of proper heating during the winter months not only affects the comfort of daily living but also poses health risks to me and any other individual residing in the premises. Moreover, it is crucial to mention the ongoing pest infestation issue which has not been adequately addressed. Despite reporting this issue to you on several occasions, no proper pest control measures have been taken, leading to an unsanitary living environment and potential damage to personal property. In light of the aforementioned noncompliant conditions and your failure to rectify the situation despite being provided with sufficient notice, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to address these issues in compliance with the terms of our lease agreement and state regulations. Furthermore, I would like written confirmation of the commencement and completion of these necessary repairs or improvements within a reasonable timeframe. If these noncompliant conditions persist or remain unaddressed, I regrettably inform you that I may be compelled to pursue further legal remedies available to me under Iowa law, including seeking a court order for the necessary repairs, withholding rent, termination of the lease, or seeking compensation for any damages incurred. I trust that you will understand the gravity of the situation and promptly take the appropriate steps to rectify the noncompliant conditions caused by your deliberate or negligent acts. I greatly value the rental property as my home and believe that resolving these issues will ensure a mutually beneficial tenancy. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your swift response.
