Philadelphia Pennsylvania Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Landlord's Failure to Make Repairs: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Notice of Failure to Make Repairs Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention several pressing issues within the [address of the rental property] that have been neglected despite my repeated requests for repairs. As a responsible landlord, it is imperative that you address these concerns promptly to ensure the habitability and safety of the premises. To provide a comprehensive overview of the repair issues: 1. Plumbing Problems: Since our last correspondence on [date of initial repair request], I have been experiencing persistent plumbing issues. The bathroom sink is clogged, causing water to drain slowly and creating a stagnant odor. Additionally, the toilet continues to leak, resulting in wastage of water and compromising sanitation. 2. Electrical Hazards: There are clear signs of electrical problems throughout the property. Faulty wiring in the living room poses a fire hazard, as the lights flicker and outlets provide inconsistent power supply. These issues are a significant concern and must be addressed urgently. 3. Structural Integrity: The state of the property's structure is deteriorating rapidly, with visible cracks appearing in the walls and ceilings. These cracks are not only unsightly but also raise serious safety concerns in terms of potential collapses or water leaks during inclement weather. 4. Pest Infestation: Despite my previous complaints, the property continues to be infested with pests, including rodents and insects. Their presence poses health risks and compromises the integrity of the property. Immediate professional pest control is required to rectify this matter effectively. 5. Heating and Ventilation: The HVAC system in the unit is malfunctioning, leading to inadequate heating and ventilation. This issue results in discomfort during extreme weather conditions and affects the overall quality of living in the property. I would appreciate your immediate attention in addressing these problems, ensuring the repairs are conducted by qualified professionals within a reasonable timeframe. As per the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act, Section 250.206, it is your legal obligation to maintain a habitable property under the implied warranty of habitability. In the event of non-compliance, I will be compelled to pursue legal remedies and potentially withhold rent until the repairs are successfully completed. However, I sincerely hope that our longstanding professional relationship and mutual respect for each other's rights as landlords and tenants can be maintained. To facilitate the repair process, I propose we arrange for a meeting, ideally within the next five business days, to inspect the property jointly and discuss the necessary steps to rectify these issues. Please let me know your availability by [date, preferably within three days]. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of these matters. Should you require any further information or documentation regarding the mentioned issues, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone number] or [email address]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
