Description

This form is used by a tenant to notify the landlord that the leased premises are untenantable and uninhabitable. Through this form, the tenant makes a demand for repair of the premises. If repairs are not made by the landlord, the tenant may have the right to terminate the lease or abate rent. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of several issues within the premises leased under the agreement dated [Start Date of Lease Agreement] for the property located at [Address of Property]. These concerns directly affect the habitability of the premise and are in violation of existing laws and regulations in Boston, Massachusetts. [List the issues/potential violations] 1. [Issue 1]: Describe the first issue in detail, such as mold growth due to water leakage, exposed wiring, or malfunctioning heating system. Emphasize how it directly contradicts the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code, General Laws, and/or Boston Housing Codes. Use relevant keywords like "unsafe living conditions," "health hazards," or "breach of implied habitability warranty." 2. [Issue 2]: Continue with the description of the next issue, for example, structural damage leading to a compromised foundation or severe pest infestation. State the specific Boston Housing Codes or regulations that are being violated. Employ appropriate phrases like "structural integrity compromised" or "insect/rodent infestation." 3. [Issue 3]: Proceed with outlining the third issue, which may include inadequate plumbing, faulty electrical fixtures, or absence of smoke detectors. Specify the respective law or code being infringed upon. Incorporate keywords like "non-functioning utilities" or "fire safety violation." I want to emphasize that these issues make the premises uninhabitable, unfit for human habitation, and pose serious health and safety risks for me as the tenant. Under the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code (105 Code Masses. Reg's. §410), landlords bear the responsibility of ensuring that leased properties meet all required standards of habitability. With that in mind, I kindly request immediate remediation of these issues to reinstate the habitability of the property. I urge you to promptly address these concerns within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] of receiving this letter. Please arrange for immediate repairs and maintenance by a qualified professional. Documenting the repairs' progress and completion will also be highly appreciated. In the event of non-compliance within the specified timeframe, I will have no choice but to seek legal remedies available under Massachusetts law, including but not limited to pursuing actions with the appropriate housing authorities, pursuing rent abatement, or terminating the lease and seeking financial compensation for any relocation expenses incurred. I hope we can resolve these issues amicably and that I can continue to enjoy the premises in a safe and habitable condition. I can be reached at [your phone number] or [your email address] to discuss this matter further or arrange a convenient time for inspections and repairs. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Phone Number] [Your Email Address]
