Subject: Urgent Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Immediate Repair Demands — Akron, Ohio Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter as a tenant of your rental property located at [Property Address], in Akron, Ohio. It is with utmost concern that I must inform you of the uninhabitable conditions in which the premises currently exist, in direct violation of state laws and our rental agreement. I respectfully request your immediate attention and action to rectify these issues to ensure the health and safety of all occupants. As a responsible tenant, I have taken note of the Ohio Revised Code, specifically Chapter 5321, which outlines the basic standards for the habitability of a rental property. Unfortunately, I must assert that the following violations have been observed: 1. Structural and Safety Hazards: — [Describe any structural deficiencies, such as foundation issues, unstable walls, or unsafe staircases] — [Highlight any safety concerns, including broken windows, faulty locks, or lack of emergency exits] 2. Plumbing and Sanitation Issues: — [Detail any plumbing problems, like leaks, water damage, or non-functional toilets, sinks, or showers] — [Address any substandard sanitary conditions, such as mold, mildew, or pest infestations] 3. Electrical Problems: — [Specify any electrical deficiencies, including faulty wiring, exposed cables, or malfunctioning outlets] — [Highlight potential fire hazards or insufficient lighting] 4. Heating and Ventilation Failures: — [Indicate heating system malfunctions, lack of proper insulation, or inadequate ventilation] — [Emphasize the impact on comfort, health, and compliance with local ordinances] It is evident that these conditions not only compromise our well-being but also violate the implied warranty of habitability mandated by Ohio law. In light of these concerns, I demand that you undertake immediate repairs within the next [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to bring the premises back to a habitable condition, as required by law. To facilitate the necessary repairs, I kindly request a prompt inspection of the property to assess the full extent of the issues. Furthermore, I urge you to engage licensed contractors or professionals with expertise in the related fields to guarantee the satisfactory completion of the necessary repairs. Should you fail to act within the stipulated timeframe, I may have no choice but to exercise my legal rights, which could include reporting the uninhabitable conditions to the appropriate local authorities or pursuing legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. However, I remain hopeful that we can resolve this matter amicably and with a sense of urgency. I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter, and I trust that you will prioritize the well-being and safety of your tenants by rectifying the aforementioned issues promptly. I request written confirmation of receipt of this letter as well as a timeline for the repair process. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
