Despite my previous attempts to resolve these issues informally, I find it necessary to formally notify you in writing to ensure that they are appropriately addressed. 1. Water Leakage: Upon inspection, I have noticed persistent water leakage in the bathroom and kitchen areas, which has resulted in mold growth and damage to the walls and ceilings. This poses a severe health hazard and compromises the safety and integrity of the property. 2. Electrical Malfunctions: There have been numerous instances of electrical malfunctions, including flickering lights, frequent power surges, and malfunctioning power outlets. These issues pose a fire risk and are a significant safety concern for myself and my family. 3. Pest Infestation: Despite bringing this matter to your attention in the past, no effective action has been taken to address the recurring pest infestations in the property. This has caused great distress and inconvenience, affecting our overall well-being and comfort. 4. Heating and Cooling System: The heating and cooling system in the property is inadequate and inconsistent. It fails to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, which is especially problematic during extreme weather conditions, impacting our quality of life and potentially leading to health issues. 5. Lack of Maintenance: General maintenance in the property has been neglected, leading to various issues such as broken windows, damaged flooring, leaking faucets, and malfunctioning appliances. This deterioration has negatively affected the overall livability and value of the property. I kindly request that you address and rectify these issues within a reasonable timeframe to maintain a safe and habitable living environment. According to the laws governing tenant rights in Oakland, Michigan, it is your responsibility as the landlord to provide and maintain habitable premises. If the necessary repairs and improvements are not made within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate the matter further by reporting the conditions to the appropriate local authorities, seeking legal advice, and considering withholding rent in accordance with applicable laws. I believe in resolving conflicts amicably, and I hope that immediate action will be taken to remedy the aforementioned issues. I respectfully request written confirmation from you indicating your intentions and a timeline for resolving these concerns. Please provide a prompt response to this letter. My contact information is listed above, and I am available should you require any further information or clarification regarding the specific living conditions that need attention. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
