Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Unsatisfactory Living Conditions in Cuyahoga, Ohio [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [Cuyahoga, Ohio, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the living conditions in my rented property located at [your address]. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you that the current state of the dwelling is far from acceptable, breaching several clauses of the lease agreement, and infringing upon my right to a safe and habitable home. The unsatisfactory living conditions that I have encountered include but are not limited to the following: 1. [Keyword: Mold Infestation] — I have noticed a persistent and hazardous mold infestation in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom areas. It has not only caused a foul odor but is also jeopardizing my physical health. The mold growth indicates a larger issue with water leaks or insufficient ventilation, which must be addressed promptly. 2. [Keyword: Pest Infestation] — The presence of various pests such as cockroaches, rodents, and ants has become a major nuisance. Their infestation poses potential health risks and property damage. Despite repeated requests for pest control, there has been no noticeable improvement. 3. [Keyword: Plumbing Issues] — The plumbing system in the rental unit is in dire need of repair. Persistent leaks, clogged drains, and malfunctioning fixtures have caused inconveniences, compromised hygiene, and potential water damage. 4. [Keyword: Electrical Problems] — The electrical wiring in the premises is faulty, resulting in frequent power outages, flickering lights, and dangerous sparking. This not only compromises my safety but also poses a fire hazard. 5. [Keyword: Insufficient Heating/Cooling] — The heating and cooling systems are inefficient, making it incredibly challenging to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round. This issue affects my quality of life and impairs my ability to adequately use the premises. 6. [Keyword: Inadequate Maintenance] — The overall maintenance of the property has been neglected. Peeling paint, broken windows, faulty locks, and damaged flooring require immediate attention to ensure the safety and security of the premises. As a loyal and responsible tenant, I have always paid my rent on time, abided by the lease agreement, and reported any maintenance concerns promptly. I trust that you will acknowledge my genuine discontent and take swift action to rectify these issues. I kindly request that you address these concerns within [reasonable time frame — suggest 14 days] after the receipt of this letter. Failure to do so may leave me with no option but to pursue legal remedies, including reporting the violations to the local housing authority or seeking legal advice regarding possible rent abatement. Please be aware that my intent is not to aggravate the situation but to ensure that the necessary repairs and improvements are carried out to maintain a safe and habitable living environment. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and the prompt resolution of these circumstances. I trust that we can work together to restore the property to an acceptable condition and avoid any further complications. Furthermore, I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
