Subject: Failure to Properly Utilize Facilities — Notice to Tenant Dear [Tenant's Name], We hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. As your landlord, it is our duty to ensure that all facilities provided as part of your tenancy in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area are functioning properly and efficiently. Unfortunately, we have recently noticed certain issues regarding the usage of crucial amenities within your rental property, which we feel must be addressed promptly. 1. Failure to Properly Use Electrical Facilities: We have observed instances where lights and electrical appliances have been left on unnecessarily for prolonged periods of time. This not only leads to increased energy consumption but can also pose a safety hazard. As responsible tenants, it is important to ensure that all electrical facilities are utilized reasonably, turning off lights and unplugging appliances when they are not in use. 2. Misuse of Plumbing Facilities: There have been reports of plumbing fixtures being misused or not used responsibly. Excessive water usage, frequently clogging drains, or improper disposal of waste can lead to plumbing issues and subsequent property damage. We kindly request that you use all plumbing facilities appropriately and responsibly, taking care to report any leaks, blockages, or unusual behaviors promptly. 3. Neglecting Sanitary Conditions: Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is vital for the well-being of all tenants and the longevity of the property. Your failure to dispose of waste properly, neglecting regular cleaning responsibilities, or allowing excessive clutter to accumulate can lead to unpleasant odors, pest infestations, and unsanitary living conditions. We urge you to maintain adequate sanitary standards in your rented unit. 4. Inefficient Usage of Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems: We have noticed instances where the heating or cooling systems have been left on at high or low temperatures for extended periods, even when the property was unoccupied or suitable temperature conditions have been achieved. Maintaining a reasonable temperature and properly operating the HVAC equipment will contribute to energy conservation and ensure a more sustainable living environment. Non-compliance with the proper usage of the aforementioned facilities can strain resources, increase utility costs, and result in preventable damage. As responsible landlords, it is our responsibility to ensure the proper functioning of these facilities, while it is your duty as tenants to use them reasonably and efficiently. Please take the necessary steps to address these concerns within [number of days — as stipulated in the lease agreement]. Failure to rectify these issues promptly will result in further action, which may include additional charges, termination of the lease agreement, or other legal implications. Should you require any assistance, or if there are any mitigating circumstances that need to be considered, please do not hesitate to contact our office promptly? We are here to help and promote a comfortable and functional living environment for all our tenants. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Landlord's Contact Information]
