Subject: Urgent Notice — Heater Malfunction and Immediate Remedy Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a tenant of [Apartment/Property Address] in Franklin, Ohio, to bring to your immediate attention a serious concern regarding the functionality and safety of the heating system in my dwelling. Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for promptly addressing any maintenance issues in the past, and I hope that you will treat this matter with the same urgency and diligence that you have previously demonstrated. 1. Notice of Broken Heater: It is with regret that I must inform you that the heater in my residence is not functioning properly. Despite multiple attempts to adjust the thermostat, the heating system fails to generate any warm air. This has become highly problematic, particularly during the chilly winter season. 2. Notice of Unsafe Heater: In addition to the lack of heat output, there is a noticeable burning smell emanating from the heating unit. This has raised concerns about potential fire hazards and poses a serious threat to my safety, as well as the other residents in the building. Given the importance of adhering to safety protocols, I believe immediate action is essential. 3. Notice of Inadequate Heating: Moreover, the inadequate heating has led to an uncomfortable and uninhabitable living environment. The consistently low temperatures have adversely affected my health and well-being, making it increasingly difficult to carry out daily activities, sleep comfortably, and maintain a safe space for myself and any guests. Given the urgency and potential hazards associated with a malfunctioning heater, I kindly request that you take immediate measures to rectify the issue. I believe it is essential for the following actions to be taken promptly: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the heating system to diagnose the root cause of the malfunction and to identify any potential safety hazards. 2. Engage a certified heating technician to perform necessary repairs, maintenance, or replacement of the faulty components or the entire heating system if required. 3. Provide temporary heating arrangements, such as portable heaters, during the time it takes to fix the central heating system, ensuring a habitable living condition is maintained throughout the process. Please be reminded that under Ohio tenant laws, landlords are legally obligated to ensure a habitable living space, including providing an adequate heating system. Failure to address and resolve this issue in a timely manner could potentially violate these legal obligations. I kindly request an immediate acknowledgment of this letter and assurance that necessary actions will be taken without delay. I would greatly appreciate your attention to this issue and cooperation in restoring the functionality, safety, and comfort within my residence. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing positively from you at your earliest convenience.
