Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Missouri Sample Letter for Unsatisfactory Living Conditions Keywords: Missouri, sample letter, unsatisfactory living conditions, tenant's rights, complaint, legal action Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing to bring your attention to the unsatisfactory living conditions that I have been experiencing in the [address of the property] apartment, which I currently rent from you as per our lease agreement dated [date]. As a tenant in the state of Missouri, I believe it is important that all parties involved adhere to the standards set by the law for safe and habitable living environments. First and foremost, I would like to mention the recurring issue of mold growth in various areas of the apartment, particularly in the bathroom and bedroom. Mold poses a serious health risk, and its presence suggests a lack of proper maintenance and ventilation. I kindly request that immediate action be taken to resolve this issue, including a thorough inspection, elimination of the mold, and repairs if necessary. Additionally, there have been frequent plumbing problems in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry areas. The constant leaks, clogged drains, and low water pressure have not only inconvenienced me but also compromised my daily activities. As a tenant, I have the right to live in a property with functional plumbing systems, and I urge you to arrange for a professional plumber to address these concerns promptly. Furthermore, the building's heating and cooling systems have proven to be inefficient, resulting in uncomfortable temperatures throughout the year. This not only affects my well-being but also poses potential health risks during extreme weather conditions. I kindly request that you have these systems inspected and repaired or replaced if needed, to ensure a comfortable environment. Moreover, I have noticed a significant increase in pests, especially cockroaches and rodents, in the apartment. These infestations are unacceptable and could indicate a lack of proper pest control measures. I urge you to employ a licensed pest control company to eliminate these pests and take preventive measures to avoid future occurrences. As a responsible tenant, I have kept up with my responsibilities outlined in the lease agreement, including timely rent payments and proper upkeep of the rented premises. In return, I believe it is fair to expect a habitable and well-maintained living space. If these concerns are not adequately addressed within a reasonable timeframe, I may be compelled to explore the legal actions available to me under Missouri's tenant's rights laws. According to the Missouri Landlord-Tenant Law, Section 535.300, I have the right to withhold rent or make necessary repairs and deduct the costs from future rent payments if necessary repairs are not made within a reasonable period after providing written notice. In conclusion, I am kindly requesting your immediate attention to rectify the unsatisfactory living conditions I have outlined. I hope that we can resolve these issues amicably, without resorting to legal actions. However, I am prepared to take further steps if needed to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I eagerly anticipate your response within [reasonable timeframe]. Please consider this letter as documentation of my concerns regarding the living conditions and my attempt to resolve them amicably. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Contact Information]
