[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue concerning the heating system in my rented premises at [Your Address]. It has come to my notice that the heater is currently broken, rendering it both unsafe and inadequate to provide adequate warmth during winter. I kindly request your immediate attention to remedy this situation for the well-being and comfort of all tenants. The specific issues that I have observed with the heater are as follows: 1. Broken Heating Unit: The central heating unit in my apartment has completely stopped working. Despite repeated attempts to adjust the thermostat, there is no circulation of warm air, leaving the entire living space uncomfortably cold. 2. Safety Hazards: In addition to the malfunctioning heating unit, I have noticed several potential safety hazards associated with the heater. These include unusual smells, unusual noises, and frequent power fluctuations originating from the heating system. These signs indicate that a significant defect or damage may be present, posing a potential risk of fire or other accidents. 3. Inadequate Heating Provision: Even before the heater malfunctioned, its performance was consistently inadequate. It struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature within the apartment, especially during colder periods. This lack of efficiency not only affects the comfort of the occupants but also poses potential health risks, particularly for individuals who are more susceptible to extreme temperatures. As per the terms of our lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to provide and maintain a safe and fully functional heating system. In view of the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the broken heater and ensure its proper functioning. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but given the critical nature of this matter and the potential health risks associated with inadequate heating, I urge you to prioritize the resolution of this issue promptly. I kindly ask that you provide me with written confirmation of the actions you intend to take to remedy the heating situation within the next [reasonable timeline, e.g., 48 hours]. Please bear in mind that if these concerns are not addressed promptly, I may have no choice but to seek legal remedies to ensure my right to a safe and habitable living environment as stipulated by law. I trust that you will give due attention to this matter and promptly resolve the issues with the heating system. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information: Phone number and email] [Optional: Attach any supporting documentation, such as photographs or incident reports, if applicable.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alternate Versions: 1.
