[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue and to request an immediate remedy. I regretfully inform you that the heater in my rental unit, [Unit Number/Name], located at [Rental Property Address], Indianapolis, Indiana, is broken, unsafe, and inadequately providing heat. Given the approaching winter season and the current weather conditions, it is essential that the heating system is fully operational and able to maintain a comfortable and safe temperature within the premises. However, despite my numerous attempts to adjust and troubleshoot the heater, it fails to produce adequate warmth and poses a risk to my health and well-being, as well as potential property damage. I would like to emphasize the urgency of this matter and request that you promptly address the heating issue to ensure my living conditions meet the basic health and safety standards. I kindly demand the following steps to be taken immediately: 1. Dispatch a certified HVAC technician or a qualified professional to thoroughly inspect and assess the problem with the heater. 2. Repair or replace the heater, as deemed necessary by the professional, with a unit capable of providing consistent and adequate heat output. 3. Ensure that any repairs or replacements are carried out by licensed and qualified individuals, as per the applicable building codes and safety regulations. 4. Provide me with a written timeline outlining the proposed solution and estimated completion date for the required repairs or replacement. 5. Grant me the right to withhold rent payments until the heating system is restored to proper working condition, in accordance with Indiana state laws. I remind you that as the landlord, you have a legal obligation to provide a habitable dwelling under the Indiana Code (IC 32-31-8-5). The heating system being non-functional violates this requirement and poses health and safety hazards. Failure to promptly address this issue would be a breach of your responsibilities as a landlord, and I may be left with no option but to pursue legal remedies to ensure my rights and well-being at the leased premises. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [number of days, typically 3-5 business days] and inform me of the proposed plan and timeline for resolving the heating issue promptly. Please contact me at the provided phone number or email address to discuss this matter further and arrange for necessary visits or inspections. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and your prompt resolution of the heating problem. Thank you for your cooperation.
