Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a demand letter from Tenant to Landlord demanding that leased conditions be repaired or remedied within ten days and made compliant with building codes. The condition of the leased premises are currently unsafe and/or unhealthy. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Demand for Remedy Regarding Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety or Resulting in an Untenantable Condition Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you as a tenant of [building/address], to bring to your attention some serious concerns regarding the failure to comply with building codes that are directly affecting my health, safety, and render the premises untenantable. It has come to my attention, through an independent inspection carried out by a certified professional, that multiple violations of the Detroit building codes exist within the premises. These violations pose severe risks to my health and safety as a tenant and are in direct violation of my right to live in a habitable and safe environment. Further, these violations might also expose you to legal liabilities under state and local laws. Some key violations found within the premises include but are not limited to: 1. Structural Integrity: The building exhibits signs of significant structural damage, including cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings. This poses a clear risk to my safety and raises concerns about the building's stability in the event of an emergency such as an earthquake or fire. 2. Electrical Safety: Electrical systems within the unit are outdated and poorly maintained. Multiple electrical outlets are non-functional, switches are faulty, and exposed wiring can be seen in several areas. These electrical hazards put me at risk of fire, electrocution, and potential damage to my personal belongings. 3. Plumbing Issues: The plumbing in the unit is in a state of disrepair, leading to chronic leaks, water damage, and improper drainage. These issues have caused mold growth in various parts of the unit, posing a significant health risk. Additionally, the absence of hot water in the unit makes it extremely difficult to maintain proper hygiene. 4. Pest Infestation: The premises have suffered from an ongoing infestation of rodents and insects, such as rats, cockroaches, and bedbugs. This infestation not only compromises my health and safety but also leads to the destruction of personal property and poses a threat to the overall cleanliness of the unit. 5. Inadequate Heating and Cooling: The HVAC system in the unit is outdated and inefficient, resulting in inconsistent heating and cooling. This not only affects my comfort but also leads to increased energy costs due to unduly high or low temperatures throughout the year. Given the severity of these violations and their direct impact on both health and safety, I demand that you, as my landlord, promptly and diligently address these issues to bring the premises into compliance with all relevant building codes and safety regulations. I kindly request that you arrange for the necessary repairs to rectify these violations within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter. Failure to act in a timely manner will leave me with no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me as a tenant under Michigan law. Such remedies may include but are not limited to withholding rent, requesting an inspection from the relevant housing authority, and pursuing legal action to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. I hope to resolve these matters amicably and avoid any unnecessary involvement of third parties or legal proceedings. I kindly request that you contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the steps you plan to take to address the aforementioned concerns. Thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will understand the urgency and necessity of resolving these issues promptly to maintain a safe and habitable environment for all tenants within the premises. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
