[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Uninhabitable Conditions and Demand for Immediate Repairs Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the current uninhabitable conditions of the premises I am renting at [Property Address] in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which violate applicable laws and regulations. I kindly request your immediate attention and action to remedy these issues within a reasonable timeframe. Firstly, I would like to address the violation(s) of the Louisiana landlord-tenant laws and regulations that pertain to the habitability of rental properties. As stated in the Louisiana Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (La. Civil Code Article 2691 et seq.), landlords are required to provide their tenants with a safe and habitable dwelling. It is my belief that the current condition of the premises falls short of these legal obligations. To outline the specific issues present in the rental property, the following uninhabitable conditions have been identified: 1. [Describe the first issue in detail, using relevant keywords such as "mold," "water leakage," "structural damage," etc.] 2. [Describe the second issue in detail, using relevant keywords.] 3. [Continue to describe any additional issues using relevant keywords.] These hazardous conditions not only jeopardize my health and safety but also violate my rights as a tenant. In light of these violations, I hereby demand that immediate repairs and corrective actions be undertaken to rectify the mentioned issues. According to the aforementioned laws, it is the responsibility of the landlord to promptly address these violations. I urge you to fulfill your obligation and ensure that all necessary repairs are carried out by qualified professionals within [reasonable timeframe, e.g. 14 days] from the date of this notice. Failure to act promptly may result in the escalation of these matters, including the initiation of legal proceedings or pursuing remedies available under the Louisiana Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. It is my sincere hope that it does not come to such measures, and we can find a timely resolution to these issues through amicable means. I kindly request a written acknowledgement of this notice and a detailed plan of action outlining how the repairs will be addressed within the specified timeframe. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name]
