This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Full Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Use of Repair and Deduct Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention some essential repairs that are needed in [Apartment/House Address] as required by Connecticut state law. Despite repeated verbal and written requests, these repair issues have not been addressed, which has significantly affected my ability to fully enjoy the premises and fulfill my obligations as a tenant. As mentioned explicitly in the Connecticut General Statutes Section 47a-14a, the repair and deduct remedy allows a tenant to rectify necessary repairs and deduct the reasonable costs from the monthly rent when the landlord has failed to address them within a reasonable timeframe. I kindly request you to take corrective actions within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter to avoid the implementation of this remedy. Below, I am providing a comprehensive list of the necessary repairs along with detailed descriptions: 1. [Repair Issue 1]: [Description] — [Impact on living conditions— - [Request for repair action] 2. [Repair Issue 2]: [Description] — [Impact on living conditions— - [Request for repair action] 3. [Repair Issue 3]: [Description] — [Impact on living conditions— - [Request for repair action] I firmly believe that addressing these repair issues promptly will contribute to maintaining the habitability and safety of the premises, which is essential for both tenants and landlords. If these repairs are not tackled within the specified timeframe, I will have no choice but to exercise my legal right to use the repair and deduct remedy provided by Connecticut state law. In such an event, I will employ licensed and reputable professionals to complete the necessary repairs at competitive rates. The expenses reasonably incurred will then be deducted from my future rent payments until the total amount is covered. Let me emphasize that I prefer an amicable resolution of this matter and would like to avoid any potential legal steps. However, should that become necessary, I will have no choice but to pursue further action to protect my rights as a tenant. I look forward to your prompt attention to these repairs and a timely resolution to this matter. Please contact me at [phone number] or [email address] to discuss the steps you plan to take. Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
