Subject: Urgent Notice — Uninhabitable Premises in Violation of Law and Immediate Repair Demand [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to the alarming state of the premises I currently occupy at [Property Address] in South Bend, Indiana. It has come to my attention that the conditions of the property not only violate various local and state laws but also render it completely uninhabitable.

Before I delve into the specific concerns, I feel it is important to highlight that under the Indiana Landlord-Tenant Act (Indiana Code Title 32, Article 31), landlords have a legal obligation to maintain rental properties in a habitable condition. This implies providing tenants with properties that are structurally sound, free from hazards, clean, and equipped with essential utilities. Regrettably, I have encountered numerous issues that flagrantly contravene these legal obligations. The following is an exhaustive list of the concerns present within the property: 1. Plumbing: The plumbing system within the premises is in severe disrepair, resulting in persistent leaks, burst pipes, and water damage. These malfunctions have severely affected my daily activities as water supply disruptions and inadequate drainage have become commonplace. 2. Electrical Wiring: The electrical system is outdated and hazardous, causing frequent power surges, faulty wiring, and intermittent power outages. This poses a significant safety risk as it increases the probability of electrical fires or electric shocks. 3. Heating and Cooling: The heating and cooling systems are defective, contributing to erratic temperature fluctuations throughout the property. This not only compromises my wellbeing but also raises concerns of potential health hazards related to extreme temperatures. 4. Structural Integrity: The property shows signs of significant structural damage, including cracks in the walls and foundation, which raises concerns about its long-term stability and safety. 5. Pest Infestation: There is an ongoing infestation of [type of pests] within the property, compromising hygiene, causing damage to personal belongings, and impacting my overall quality of life. 6.

Overall Cleanliness: The property exhibits filth, accumulated debris, and signs of poor maintenance, which attract pests and compromise hygiene. I wish to remind you that according to Indiana law, failure to address these uninhabitable conditions within a reasonable timeframe entitles tenants to consider the lease agreement voided and seek legal remedies. However, I am confident that we can resolve this matter without escalation or legal intervention. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately arrange for proper repairs to restore the premises to a habitable condition as mandated by the law. A prompt response from you is crucial to ensure my safety and well-being as a valued tenant. Please provide me with a written response within [reasonable timeframe, typically 7-14 days] to confirm the actions you will be taking to address these concerns. Please note that if these critical repairs are not initiated or completed promptly, I may be left with no other choice but to exercise my rights under applicable laws and regulations to ensure my rights and safety are protected. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
