This form is a letter to provide the Landlord with legal notice of the fact that there is insufficient heat in the leased premises. Tenant is requesting that the Landlord remedy this situation by the addition or repair of heating units.
Subject: Urgent: Concerns regarding Inadequacy of Heating Resources — Action Required! Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring a critical matter to your attention regarding the insufficiency of heating resources in our rental property located in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. It is my sincere hope that we can address this issue promptly and find a solution that ensures a safe and comfortable living environment for all tenants. Having endured the recent drop in temperatures, I found it necessary to voice my concerns regarding the inadequate heating provisions in our unit. Despite my efforts to regulate the thermostat and maintain a comfortable temperature, it has become increasingly apparent that the existing heating system is unable to cope with the demand, resulting in a significant lack of warmth and uncomfortable living conditions. As a responsible tenant, I have made several attempts to troubleshoot the problem. These steps included inspecting the thermostat settings, ensuring windows and doors are properly sealed, and regularly cleaning or replacing air filters. Unfortunately, none of these measures have been effective in mitigating the issue, leaving me and the household with no alternative but to endure the cold environment. Specifically, I have noticed the following problems relating to our heating resources: 1. Insufficient heat distribution: The existing heating system seems unable to adequately distribute warmth throughout the entire living space. This has resulted in noticeable temperature discrepancies between rooms, leaving some areas significantly colder than others. 2. Inconsistent temperature regulation: Despite setting the thermostat to an appropriate level, the heating system fails to consistently maintain the desired temperature. Fluctuations in heat output are evident, with periods of excessively low temperatures often lasting for hours, leading to discomfort and inconvenience. 3. Excessive heating costs: In our efforts to offset the lack of heat, we have resorted to using additional heating devices, such as space heaters or electric blankets. Regrettably, this has led to a significant increase in our electricity bills, adding an unnecessary financial burden on top of the inadequate heating resources. Given the severity and urgency of this matter, I kindly request that you prioritize rectifying the heating insufficiency without any further delay. Prompt action on your part is crucial to ensure the well-being and comfort of all tenants during the harsh winter months. I propose the following steps to address the issue: 1. Immediate inspection: Please arrange for a professional technician to inspect and evaluate the existing heating system thoroughly. This assessment should encompass the entire property, including vents, ductwork, and any central heating units, to identify any underlying issues that are contributing to the inadequate heating. 2. Efficient repairs or replacement: Following the inspection, I strongly urge timely repairs or replacement of the heating system components that are found to be faulty or inefficient. The objective should be to restore optimal heating functionality and provide consistent warmth throughout the premises. 3. Timely communication: To ensure transparency and maintain a good tenant-landlord relationship, I kindly request regular updates on the progress made in addressing this issue. Effective communication will enable us to adjust our temporary living arrangements, if necessary, and plan for our well-being accordingly. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and indicate your proposed action plan regarding these concerns within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 5 business days]. Failure to address and resolve this matter promptly would regrettably leave us with no choice but to explore legal remedies or consider alternative housing arrangements. I trust in your commitment to maintaining the habitability and comfort of our rental property. Your prompt attention to this matter will greatly alleviate the hardships faced by all tenants and demonstrate your dedication to providing a safe and well-maintained living environment. Thank you for your immediate attention and anticipated cooperation. I look forward to a swift resolution to this pressing matter.
