Subject: Response to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Noncompliant Condition Caused by Landlord's own Deliberate or Negligent Act Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance that I recently received from you. I understand that you have cited noncompliant conditions in my rental unit, which you claim have been caused by your own deliberate or negligent act. Furthermore, I would like to address these concerns and provide my perspective on the matter. Firstly, I want to emphasize that as a responsible tenant, I have consistently abided by the terms of our lease agreement and have promptly reported any issues that I have come across. It has been my belief that maintaining a safe and habitable environment is a shared responsibility between the tenant and the landlord. I trust that you share this view and will take my concerns seriously. Upon receiving your notice, I carefully inspected my unit and made note of the specific noncompliant conditions mentioned. It is important to highlight that these issues have indeed arisen as a direct result of your deliberate or negligent actions, including but not limited to: 1. Plumbing Problems: The persistent leaks and plumbing issues in the bathroom have seriously affected the functionality and cleanliness of the area. Despite reporting these problems on multiple occasions, no adequate measures have been taken to rectify the situation. 2. Electrical Hazards: Faulty electrical wiring and malfunctioning outlets have posed a significant safety risk to both myself and my belongings. These hazards have not only caused inconvenience but also endanger the well-being of all occupants in the unit. 3. Pest Infestation: The presence of rodents and insects within the premises has become a constant source of distress. As it is your duty to maintain the property free from such infestations, it is disappointing to note that no substantial steps have been taken to address this issue. 4. Structural Concerns: Cracked walls, damaged flooring, and other structural problems have persisted in my rental unit, which greatly compromises its overall quality and integrity. These issues not only affect the aesthetic appeal but also pose potential health and safety risks. I would like to stress that it is my expectation, as a tenant, to have these grievances addressed promptly and effectively. I have been left with no option but to seek resolution through this formal communication. Furthermore, I kindly request that the necessary repairs and improvements be carried out within a reasonable timeframe, as determined by local housing regulations. Moreover, I kindly ask that you arrange for a meeting to discuss the aforementioned concerns and any further necessary actions. It is my intention to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship and resolve these issues amicably without resorting to legal measures. However, should this not be possible, I retain the right to consider all available legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. I hope that you sincerely consider my plea and act upon it, keeping in mind the importance of a safe, habitable, and well-maintained rental unit as required by law. I look forward to hearing from you promptly to discuss a mutually agreeable resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
