[Your Name] [Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Response to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Noncompliant condition caused by Landlord's own deliberate or negligent act Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance that I received from you on [mention date] regarding the noncompliant condition in the rental property located at [property address]. I would like to express my utmost concerns regarding the noncompliant condition outlined in your notice. Upon careful examination, I must assert that the noncompliance has been caused directly by your own deliberate or negligent acts. As you are aware, tenants have a legal right to a habitable living space, and it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the rental property is properly maintained and meets all required standards. Firstly, it is important to note that noncompliance issues have been present in the rental property since the commencement of my tenancy. I have informed you on multiple occasions, both verbally and in writing, about the specific issues, but unfortunately, no appropriate actions have been taken to rectify them. One of the key noncompliant conditions relates to the plumbing system. The constant leak in the bathroom has caused extensive water damage to the walls and flooring, resulting in mold growth and potential health hazards. I have provided photographic evidence, dated [mention date], clearly showcasing the severity of the situation. Due to your failure to take prompt action to repair the plumbing system and prevent further damage, it can be reasonably concluded that the noncompliant condition is a direct consequence of your deliberate or negligent acts. Furthermore, the electrical system in the rental property poses significant safety risks. The frequent power outages and faulty wiring have not only inconvenienced me but also compromised my safety. Despite repeated requests for electrical repairs, you have failed to address these issues in a timely manner, exacerbating the noncompliant condition. Additionally, the noncompliant condition extends to the heating and cooling system. The HVAC unit has been malfunctioning for several months, and your delay in arranging repairs has left me without appropriate temperature control during extreme weather conditions, thereby compromising my comfort and convenience. I would like to emphasize that I have complied with all my obligations as a tenant, including paying my rent on time and maintaining the property's cleanliness. Therefore, I find it unjust and unreasonable that I am facing eviction due to a noncompliant condition caused solely by your deliberate or negligent acts. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, I demand that you promptly rectify the noncompliant conditions identified in your notice. I expect all necessary repairs to be completed within a reasonable timeframe as stipulated by the applicable laws and regulations. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. I kindly request a written acknowledgment of this letter within [mention a deadline within a reasonable timeframe] confirming your commitment to rectifying the noncompliant conditions. This will help ensure open lines of communication and a resolution to this matter in a timely manner. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to address this situation promptly and in good faith. I look forward to an amicable resolution that upholds the rights of both parties involved. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
