[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Inadequacy of Heating Resources and Insufficient Heat in [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding the heating resources in the rental property located at [Your Address], as the available heating is insufficient and fails to adequately warm the premises during the colder months. As you are aware, we are currently experiencing winter, and the indoor temperature has consistently fallen below a comfortable and healthy level. Despite my attempts to adjust the thermostat settings and regulate the heating system, it has proven to be inadequate in providing sufficient warmth throughout the property. This issue has not only caused discomfort but also poses potential health risks for both myself and any visitors to the premises. Cold temperatures indoors can lead to various health problems, including but not limited to, respiratory issues, aggravated allergies, and compromised immune systems. Therefore, it is essential that immediate action is taken to rectify this situation. I kindly request that you arrange for a qualified and licensed heating technician to inspect the heating system thoroughly. They should assess its functionality, evaluate any potential underlying issues, and propose appropriate solutions to restore optimal heating performance. It's crucial that the technician addresses any problems promptly, ensuring that the heating system operates at an efficient and reliable level. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could keep me informed throughout this process, providing updates on any necessary repairs, maintenance, or replacements required for the heating system. Timely communication and transparency will enable us to work together towards resolving this issue as quickly as possible. In the meantime, I kindly request that you provide temporary heating alternatives, such as space heaters, to mitigate the impact of the inadequate heat until a permanent solution is implemented. Under the North Carolina Residential Rental Agreements Act, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the rental property meets the basic habitability standards, which includes maintaining a functional heating system capable of adequately heating the property. I trust that you will fulfill this obligation and take swift action to address this issue. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and a satisfactory resolution that ensures the provision of sufficient and reliable heating in the rental property. Please contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] to discuss further and arrange for the necessary inspections and repairs. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Sincerely, [Your Name]
