[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Urgent Notice Regarding Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to notify you of an urgent issue concerning the heater in my apartment at [Apartment Address]. It has come to my attention that the heater is either broken, unsafe, or inadequate, making it impossible for me to maintain a comfortable and safe living environment. I request your immediate attention and remedy to resolve this matter effectively. I have been experiencing the following problems with the heater: 1. Insufficient Heating: Despite setting the thermostat to the desired temperature, the heater fails to provide adequate warmth, leading to discomfort and potential health hazards during the colder months. This issue compromises my well-being and disrupts my daily activities. 2. Complete Breakdown: The heater has completely stopped functioning, leaving me without any means of heating my apartment. This poses a significant risk to my health and safety, especially considering the extreme temperatures we experience in Columbus, Ohio during winter. Due to the severity of the situation, I kindly request that you take immediate action to repair or replace the broken heater to restore proper heating to my apartment. As a tenant, I have the right to enjoy a safe and habitable living space, which includes a reliable heating system. I believe this matter should be treated as a top priority, considering the potential health consequences and the obligations outlined in the lease agreement. I kindly urge you to promptly arrange for a qualified technician to assess the state of the heater and proceed with the necessary repairs or replacement. Furthermore, I would appreciate receiving a written confirmation of the scheduled date for the repair to offer me reassurance that this issue will be resolved without further delay. If the heater remains unresolved within a reasonable timeframe or if there are any obstacles preventing its timely repair or replacement, I kindly request that you provide me with alternative accommodation until the issue is fully resolved. I believe this request aligns with the requirements for habitable living conditions mandated by the city of Columbus, Ohio. Additionally, I want to highlight that neglecting to address this issue within a reasonable timeframe may result in further damage to the property, which could be more expensive to repair in the long run. I hope we can avoid such escalation by ensuring prompt action. I trust that you understand the urgency of this situation and recognize your responsibility as a landlord to provide a functioning heating system. Furthermore, I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Please feel free to reach out to me by phone or email provided above to discuss any necessary arrangements or to provide an update on the progress of repairs. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
