[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the current condition of the premises I am renting at [property address], which I believe is in violation of applicable laws and regulations governing landlord-tenant relationships in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. I kindly request your immediate attention and prompt action to rectify the issues mentioned herein. Furthermore, I regret to inform you that the premises, as it stands, are wholly uninhabitable and pose a threat to my health, safety, and overall well-being. The untenable conditions below clearly infringe upon my rights as a tenant: 1. Inadequate Heating and Ventilation: The heating system in the property is malfunctioning, leaving me without adequate warmth during the colder months. This violates the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act, which requires landlords to provide functioning heating systems capable of maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the premises. Proper ventilation is also severely lacking, leading to excessive humidity and stagnation of air, exacerbating the habitability concerns. 2. Persistent Water Leakage: There is an ongoing issue with water leakages in multiple areas of the property, including the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. These leaks have caused significant damage to the walls, flooring, and fixtures, and are not only compromising the structural integrity of the building but also creating a hazardous living environment. The presence of excessive moisture promotes the growth of mold and mildew, which poses serious health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions. 3. Electrical Safety Hazards: The electrical wiring throughout the premises is outdated and faulty, presenting a severe safety hazard. Frequent power outages and electrical surges have occurred, which not only disrupt my daily activities but also cause damage to my personal electronics. Such hazardous electrical systems violate the Allegheny County Housing Code, which requires landlords to provide properly functioning and safe electrical installations. In light of the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you carry out the necessary repairs and improvements within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter. It is imperative that you engage licensed professionals to address these concerns promptly, as failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to pursue available legal remedies, including filing a complaint with the Allegheny County Health Department and seeking legal counsel to enforce my rights as a tenant. I trust that as a responsible and law-abiding landlord, you will prioritize the resolution of these critical issues to ensure the habitability and safety of the premises. Furthermore, I expect open communication during this process and, if necessary, would appreciate periodic updates on the progress of the repairs. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and your commitment to remedying the violations promptly. Your immediate attention to these matters is essential and greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
