Grand Prairie Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Notice of Broken Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE OF BROKEN HEATER AND DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE REMEDY I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue with the heating system in the [Apartment/Unit number] at [Property Address]. The heater appears to be broken, unsafe, and inadequate in providing the necessary warmth to maintain a habitable living environment. I first noticed the problem on [date] when the weather dropped significantly, leaving my living space uncomfortably cold. Despite repeated attempts to adjust the thermostat and troubleshoot the issue, the heating system failed to function properly. Consequently, I am left with no choice but to formally notify you of this problem and request an immediate remedy in compliance with my rights as a tenant. As per the terms of the lease agreement, it is your responsibility to maintain the premises in a habitable condition, including providing a functional heating system. Failing to do so poses serious health and safety risks, especially during the colder months. These risks include exposure to freezing, increased vulnerability to illnesses, potential frozen pipes, and subsequent damage to personal property. In light of this situation, I kindly request that you take the following actions to rectify the broken, unsafe, and inadequate heating system without delay: 1. Dispatch a qualified technician to inspect and repair the heater promptly. 2. Ensure that all necessary parts and equipment required for repair or replacement are made available promptly. 3. Provide a temporary alternative heating source until the repair is completed, if necessary, to ensure a habitable living environment during this period. 4. Regularly communicate with me about the progress of the repair, including estimated timelines for completion. I want to reiterate the urgency of this matter, as I consider it critical that the heating system be repaired as soon as possible. The temperature inside the apartment is unreasonably low, creating discomfort and potential health hazards. It is my sincere hope that you will address this issue promptly to ensure that I can continue to reside comfortably in the property. If this issue is not resolved within a reasonable time frame, I may have no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant under the Texas Property Code and the terms of the lease agreement. Please be advised that this may include pursuing legal remedies, seeking compensation for any damages incurred, or exploring alternative accommodations until the issue is resolved. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide a formal written response within [number of days] days outlining the actions you intend to take to address the situation. Your cooperation in promptly resolving this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and maintaining a positive landlord-tenant relationship.
