[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Demand for Immediate Remedy Regarding Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety or Resulting in an Untenantable Condition Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring your attention to a critical matter that demands immediate action on your part as the landlord of the premises I am currently residing in. It has come to my attention that you have failed to comply with the necessary building codes, which are designed to ensure the health and safety of tenants, and as a result, my living conditions have become untenantable. Firstly, it is essential to emphasize the gravity of non-compliance with building codes. These codes are put in place to protect the well-being of occupants, prevent hazards, and maintain the habitability of the premises. Their enforcement is vital to establish a safe and secure living environment, and as a landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure their compliance. Upon thorough inspection, I have identified the following specific building code violations and resulting untenantable conditions: 1. [Specify the violation and its impact on health and safety]: — [Provide a detailed description of the violation and its direct consequences on health and safety]. — [Mention any relevant documentation or photographs supporting your claim]. 2. [Specify the violation and its impact on the habitability of the premises]: — [Describe how the violation has rendered the premises uninhabitable or has significantly affected its livability]. — [Include any supporting evidence, such as photos or official reports]. These violations not only breach my right to a habitable dwelling but also pose a serious threat to my health, safety, and overall well-being. Consequently, I kindly request that you take immediate actions to address the following remedial measures: 1. Rectify the building code violations and ensure full compliance as mandated by the San Antonio building codes and regulations. 2. Arrange for inspections by authorized professionals to evaluate the state of the premises and certify its adherence to all applicable health and safety standards. 3. Provide a detailed timeline outlining the steps you plan to take to remedy the identified violations and restore the habitability of the premises. 4. Carry out all necessary repairs, replacements, or modifications required to eliminate the untenantable conditions within a reasonable timeframe. 5. Ensure that all future maintenance and repairs are conducted promptly and in compliance with applicable building codes to prevent any recurrence of such violations. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within [reasonable timeframe], I regrettably inform you that I may have no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies to address this matter. Please be aware that this may result in potential legal action, filing complaints with appropriate authorities, and seeking compensation for any damages incurred due to this negligence. I expect your prompt attention to this matter, considering that non-compliance with building codes poses a significant risk to my well-being and violates the terms of our lease agreement. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and ensure the necessary actions are taken to rectify the current situation promptly. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to receiving your written response within [reasonable timeframe]. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address] should you require any additional information or wish to discuss this matter further. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
