Subject: Addressing Unsatisfactory Living Conditions in Florida — [Your Address] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to inform you about the unsatisfactory living conditions that I have been experiencing at my rented property located at [Your Address]. As per the Florida Tenant Rights Act, I kindly request your immediate attention to address these issues promptly. 1. Subpar Property Maintenance: Despite my regular requests and complaints, I have observed numerous maintenance issues in the property that remain unattended. These problems include but are not limited to: a) Plumbing: The recurring plumbing problems, such as leaks, low water pressure, and clogged drains, have persisted for months, causing inconvenience and potential water damage. b) Electrical System: Faulty wiring, flickering lights, and power outages occur frequently, posing safety hazards and possible damage to electrical appliances. c) Heating and Cooling: The HVAC system is inefficient, leading to inadequate temperature control and uncomfortable living conditions throughout the year. d) Pest Infestation: Despite constant efforts to maintain cleanliness, there is a persistent pest problem in the property, which affects our health and well-being. 2. Structural Issues: The property's infrastructure has several noticeable deficiencies that demand prompt attention. The structural issues include: a) Cracks: Cracks on walls and ceilings have appeared and continued to expand, indicating a possible underlying structural concern. b) Roof: The roof leaks during heavy rainfall, causing water damage to the ceilings, walls, and personal belongings. 3. Safety and Security Concerns: We feel unsafe due to the following security concerns: a) Inadequate Locks: The locks on Windows and doors are outdated and insufficient, compromising our safety and exposing us to potential break-ins. b) Insufficient Lighting: Poor outdoor lighting around the premises increases the risk of accidents and criminal activities, especially during nighttime. c) Fire Safety: The absence or malfunctioning of fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, jeopardizes our well-being and violates safety regulations. 4. Unsanitary Conditions: The property has persistent unsanitary conditions that are detrimental to our health and quality of life: a) Mold and Mildew: The growth of mold and mildew is prevalent in various areas of the property, causing respiratory issues and exacerbating allergies. b) Inadequate Waste Disposal: Insufficient trash collection services and unsanitary waste management facilities result in foul odors and attract pests. In accordance with the Florida Tenant Rights Act, I kindly request that you take immediate action to resolve these issues within [reasonable time, e.g., 14 days] from the date of this letter. Failure to address these concerns will compel me to explore my rights and options under the law, which may include involving local authorities or pursuing legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that you will understand the urgency and importance of rectifying these living conditions promptly. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide me with a written response outlining your proposed action plan to address the concerns mentioned above. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I eagerly anticipate your prompt response and the resolution of these issues. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
