Laredo Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure of Landlord to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety or Resulting in Untenantable Condition Subject: Urgent Demand for Remedy — Non-compliance with Building Codes Endangering Health and Safety Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today as a tenant of [address/property name], rented under the terms of our lease agreement signed on [date]. As a responsible and law-abiding tenant, it is my duty to bring to your immediate attention several serious concerns regarding the property that violate multiple building codes and jeopardize my health, safety, and wellbeing. First and foremost, under the Texas Property Code §51.004, as a landlord, you have an obligation to provide a habitable dwelling for your tenants. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the current condition of the property falls far short of meeting these standards, rendering it untenantable. Keywords: Laredo Texas, letter, tenant, landlord, failure to comply, building codes, health and safety, untenantable condition, demand for remedy, Property Code, habitable dwelling 1. Lack of Proper Electrical Wiring: The electrical system within the property poses a significant hazard. It fails to comply with the Laredo Texas building codes, as evidenced by exposed wiring, overloaded circuits, faulty outlets, and inconsistent grounding. This poses a serious threat of electrical fires and electrocution, endangering my safety and that of other residents. 2. Insufficient Plumbing and Sewage Issues: Our rental unit frequently suffers from sewer backups, leaks, and drainage problems. Not only does this create an unsanitary living environment, but it also violates the health and safety regulations mandated by the Laredo Texas building codes. The constant presence of unpleasant odors and the risk of water damage are not only inconvenient but also hazardous to our overall wellbeing. 3. Inadequate Ventilation and Mold Growth: The lack of proper ventilation systems in the property has resulted in excessive moisture accumulation, subsequently leading to extensive mold growth. Mold not only poses significant health risks but also deteriorates the structural integrity of the building. It is crucial that immediate action is taken to rectify this situation and ensure a safe and habitable living space. 4. Fire Safety Hazards: Proper fire safety measures are of utmost importance in any rental property. However, it has come to my attention that the property lacks functioning smoke detectors, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers as required by the Laredo Texas building codes. This failure to comply with fire safety regulations not only compromises my safety but also violates legal obligations. Given the severity of these building code violations and their impact on my health, safety, and enjoyment of the property, I kindly request a prompt resolution to these issues. In accordance with Texas law, I request that you rectify these conditions within [reasonable timeframe, usually 7-14 days], ensuring full compliance with the Laredo Texas building codes. Failure to address these issues within the stated timeframe will leave me no choice but to exercise my legal rights, which may include seeking legal remedies, notifying local authorities, or withholding rent as permitted by law, until the necessary repairs and improvements are made. I kindly ask you to understand that my intention is not to create a contentious relationship but to ensure a safe and habitable living space for myself and fellow residents. I believe that, as a conscientious landlord, you will take immediate action to remedy these issues and uphold your responsibilities. Furthermore, I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, usually 5-7 days] confirming your understanding and plans to address these concerns. Your cooperation in this matter is sincerely appreciated. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
