Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically failure of the heating system. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that immediate repairs be made. Subject: Urgent Repair Required: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater — Immediate Remedy Demanded Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a critical issue regarding the heating system in my rental unit at [property address]. As we are experiencing extreme discomfort and concerns for our health and safety, I demand an urgent resolution to the issue at hand. Kindly treat this communication as an official notice and take prompt action to rectify the broken, unsafe, or inadequate heater in my apartment. [Optional: If there has been prior communication regarding the problem, mention it here] 1. Description of Problem: The heating system in my unit has become utterly dysfunctional, failing to provide any warmth or maintaining a comfortable temperature during these colder months. I have attempted to adjust the thermostat to various settings, but all efforts have proven futile. Consequently, the indoor temperature continually drops to unbearable levels, causing great distress and inconvenience. 2. Safety Hazards: In addition to the lack of heating, I have noticed several indicators that point towards potential safety hazards related to the heating system. These include, but are not limited to: — Strange, burning odor emanating from the heater, indicating a possible electrical issue. — Unusual noises such as rattling, banging, or screeching, suggesting mechanical malfunction. — Frequent tripping of circuit breakers when attempting to operate the heater. — Visible signs of damage, corrosion, or leakage in or around the heating unit. Considering the inherent dangers associated with having an inadequate or unsafe heater, I am deeply concerned for the well-being of myself, my family, and all fellow residents in the building. It is crucial to address these concerns promptly to prevent any potential risks, which could result in property damage or harm to tenants. 3. Impact on Livability: Living in freezing temperatures, without a functioning heating system, severely affects our quality of life. The condition is not only uncomfortable but also poses a health risk, particularly to vulnerable individuals such as infants, elderly residents, and those with pre-existing medical conditions. As your tenant, I expect an appropriate level of comfort and safety. 4. Request for Immediate Remedy: Given the urgency of the matter, I kindly request that you take immediate action to ensure the repair, replacement, or necessary maintenance of the heating system. Timely resolution of this issue will prevent further discomfort, damage, or inconvenience to all occupants. I suggest arranging for a qualified technician to inspect and repair the heater as soon as possible. Please provide confirmation of the scheduled appointment at your earliest convenience. In the event that complex repairs are required, I kindly request that alternative, safe accommodations or temporary heating arrangements be promptly arranged for the duration of the repairs. 5. Follow-up and Rent Deduction: Failure to address this matter promptly may result in significant damage to the property, increased expenses, and potential legal consequences. If this issue remains unattended beyond a reasonable timeframe, I will be forced to explore additional remedies available to me as a tenant, including the option to deduct the cost of repairs from my rent as permitted per the New York State laws. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you understand the urgency of this matter and will comply with your responsibilities to ensure a safe and habitable living environment for your tenants. I hope for a prompt resolution to this issue to avoid any further complications. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter by signing and returning the attached tear-off slip. Feel free to contact me at [your contact number/email] to discuss the matter further or to arrange for the required repairs. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Attachment: Tear-off Slip for Landlord's Acknowledgment]
