Kentucky Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice of Use of Repair and Deduct Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of some repair issues that require immediate attention in my rented premises at [address]. As per the Kentucky Revised Statutes Section [relevant statute number], I am seeking to exercise my right to use the repair and deduct remedy. Firstly, I would like to bring to your attention the plumbing problem in the apartment. The constant leaking faucet in the kitchen has caused water damage and mildew growth, which poses health risks and damage to the property. This issue has persisted for [duration]. As stated in our lease agreement, it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure that all plumbing fixtures are functional and in good repair. Secondly, the HVAC system has not been working properly for the past [duration]. Despite contacting your maintenance department multiple times, the heating and cooling in the unit remain inconsistent. This has resulted in extreme discomfort and increased utility bills. It is essential to resolve this issue promptly to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the occupants. Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to the faulty electrical wiring in the master bedroom. The flickering lights and intermittent power disruptions are concerning for fire hazards and personal safety. Prompt repairs are essential to prevent potential accidents and damages. According to the Kentucky Revised Statutes Section [relevant statute number], if the landlord does not take action within a reasonable timeframe (usually 14 days) after receiving written notice of these repairs, I have the right, as a tenant, to have the necessary repairs done by a licensed professional and deduct the costs from my rent payment. In light of the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you arrange for immediate repairs by a licensed contractor to rectify the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical problems within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days]. If the repairs are not commenced within this timeframe, I will be forced to hire a licensed professional at my own expense and deduct the cost, as allowed by law. I value our tenancy and would prefer an amicable resolution to these matters. Therefore, I kindly request an acknowledgement of this letter and your proposed course of action within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
