[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Response to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Noncompliant condition caused by Landlord's own deliberate or negligent act Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing in response to the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance that I received on [Date]. Upon reviewing the notice and considering the circumstances, I would like to address the noncompliant condition that has arisen due to your deliberate or negligent act, as mentioned in the notice. Firstly, I would like to state that I have been a responsible tenant, fulfilling my obligations outlined in the lease agreement and promptly reporting any maintenance or safety concerns. It is unfortunate that despite my efforts, a noncompliant condition has persisted, directly resulting from actions or omissions caused by you, the landlord. [Optional: If applicable, briefly describe the noncompliant condition caused by the landlord's deliberate or negligent act. For instance, if the landlord failed to repair a leaking roof leading to mold growth in the apartment.] As defined in the Alaska Landlord and Tenant Act (AS 34.03.100 — Noncompliance by the Landlord), it is the landlord's duty to maintain the premises in a habitable condition and abide by all applicable laws, codes, regulations, and requirements. While I understand that landlords may face challenges in property management, it is essential to acknowledge that the noncompliant condition in question is entirely the result of your actions or omissions. I kindly request you to promptly rectify this noncompliant condition and comply with your legal obligations as a landlord. It would be greatly appreciated if you could take the necessary measures to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe, as provided by Alaska law. Please be advised that if the noncompliant condition persists or remains unaddressed, I reserve the right to pursue appropriate legal remedies available to me under the Alaska Landlord and Tenant Act. This may include, but is not limited to, seeking enforcement action, withholding rent, or terminating the lease agreement. I believe in a cooperative approach to resolving issues, and I am open to discussing the matter further. Feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] to arrange a meeting or discuss any proposed resolutions. I trust that you will take swift action to address the noncompliant condition and ensure a safe and habitable living environment as mandated by law. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Email Address] [Your Phone Number]
