Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a demand letter from Tenant to Landlord demanding that leased conditions be repaired or remedied within ten days and made compliant with building codes. The condition of the leased premises are currently unsafe and/or unhealthy. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Urgent Demand for Remedy and Compliance with Building Codes affecting Health and Safety at [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address an urgent matter regarding the failure of compliance with building codes that directly affect the health, safety, and habitability of the premises located at [Rental Property Address] in Irving, Texas. As a concerned tenant, I believe it is crucial to bring this issue to your immediate attention in order to safeguard the rights and well-being of all residents. Firstly, I want to emphasize the severity and urgency of the situation. Several building code violations have come to my attention, posing significant health and safety risks. These violations include, but are not limited to: 1. Electrical Hazards: Irregularities in the electrical system, such as exposed wires, faulty grounding, and improperly installed fixtures, which pose a serious risk of electrocution, fires, or other electrical accidents. 2. Insufficient Fire Safety Measures: Inadequate or non-functional smoke detectors, fire exits blocked or obstructed, insufficient fire extinguishers, and the absence of emergency lighting systems, all of which greatly compromise our safety in the event of a fire emergency. 3. Structural Integrity Issues: Structural damages, such as cracked walls, ceilings, or floors, roof leaks, unaddressed plumbing leaks, and deteriorating foundations, which not only jeopardize the stability and longevity of the building but also pose potential hazards to the occupants. 4. Pest Infestations and Proper Waste Disposal: Frequent pest infestations, evidence of rodents or insects, coupled with a lack of proper waste management and disposal systems, risking the spread of diseases and compromising hygiene standards. 5. Mold and Air Quality Concerns: Widespread mold growth, excessive moisture issues, insufficient ventilation, and poor air quality due to inadequate HVAC maintenance. These issues can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and other health-related complications. These violations directly violate local and state building codes, as well as the implied warranty of habitability under Texas law. As a tenant, I have the right to reside in a safe and habitable environment, and it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure such conditions are met. I kindly request that you promptly take the necessary remedial actions to address these issues and bring the property back to compliance with all applicable building codes. Failure to do so not only puts the health and safety of all tenants at risk but may also result in legal repercussions and potential monetary damages. To ensure transparency and timely communication, I request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] from the date of this letter, outlining the specific actions you plan to take to rectify these violations. Additionally, I kindly request regular updates on the progress made towards achieving full compliance with building codes. Should you fail to respond or address the concerns mentioned above, I may have no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to protect my rights as a tenant, including, but not limited to, contacting the relevant authorities, seeking legal counsel, and withholding rent as permitted by law until the necessary repairs are completed. I trust that your commitment to ensuring the welfare and satisfaction of your tenants will prevail in rectifying these issues promptly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to your timely response. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
