I am writing to bring to your attention the unsatisfactory living conditions that exist within the premises of the property located at [Property Address]. As a lawful tenant, I believe it is crucial to address these issues promptly to ensure a safe and habitable living environment, as required by the Texas Tenant Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. Firstly, the issue of [describe the first unsatisfactory living condition briefly, e.g., ongoing water leakage from the bathroom ceiling] has persisted for quite some time. Despite reporting this matter on [date of initial complaint], no action has been taken to rectify the situation. The water leakage not only compromises the structural integrity of the property but also poses a significant risk to my health and safety, as it creates dampness, promotes mold growth, and can lead to ongoing water damage. Secondly, the [describe the second unsatisfactory living condition briefly, e.g., malfunctioning heating system] has been a persistent problem, particularly during winter months. The lack of adequate heating has resulted in discomfort, potential health hazards, and increased utility costs, as alternative heating measures have been required. Furthermore, the [describe the third unsatisfactory living condition briefly, e.g., pest infestation] issue poses a serious threat to my well-being. Despite my efforts to keep the property clean, I have noticed an increasing number of pests, such as rodents or insects, within the premises. This not only compromises my living standards but can also lead to health issues due to contamination, bites, or allergic reactions. I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these unsatisfactory living conditions. Failure to do so would violate the Texas Property Code, which grants tenant the right to a safe and habitable dwelling. If necessary repairs and maintenance are not scheduled within a reasonable period, I may be left with no choice but to explore other remedies available under the law, such as withholding rent or seeking legal assistance. To ensure clear communication and documentation, I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeline, such as 10 business days] outlining your plans to remedy the mentioned issues. Please note that it is within my rights as a tenant to involve relevant authorities, such as the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, if necessary actions are not taken promptly and adequately. I trust that you will promptly address these concerns to uphold your responsibilities as a landlord. I look forward to a swift resolution of these issues to maintain a safe and habitable living environment as required by law. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
