[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repairs Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the current dangerous and uninhabitable conditions of the rental property located at [Property Address] in Gilbert, Arizona. As a tenant, it is my right to reside in a safe and livable environment as mandated by Arizona rental laws. The purpose of this letter is to formally notify you that the premises I am currently renting are in violation of the Arizona Tenant Landlord Act (A.R.S. Title 33, Chapter 10) and local housing codes. Several vital repairs are urgently required to rectify the hazardous conditions and ensure the habitability of the property. To provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the issues, I have detailed below the specific conditions that are in direct violation of the law and demand immediate attention: 1. Plumbing: The plumbing system in the premises is severely compromised, leading to leakages, sewage backups, and foul odor throughout the property. This situation poses a significant health risk and violates Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1324. 2. Electrical Safety: The electrical wiring and fixtures in the rental unit are outdated and faulty. I have experienced frequent power outages, sparks, and overheating, increasing the risk of fire hazards contrary to A.R.S. § 33-1363. 3. Structural Integrity: The structural integrity of the building has been compromised, with visible cracks on walls and ceilings. The unstable structure poses an immediate threat to my safety and contravenes A.R.S. § 33-1341. 4. Pest Infestation: The property is infested with pests, such as cockroaches, rodents, and bedbugs, making it uninhabitable and violating the implied warranty of habitability set forth in A.R.S. § 33-1324. 5. Mold and Mildew: Excessive moisture and inadequate ventilation have resulted in the growth of mold and mildew in various areas of the premises, including the bathroom and kitchen. This violates A.R.S. § 33-1364 as it poses health risks, including allergies and respiratory problems. Given the severity of these issues, I hereby demand that you undertake immediate repairs in compliance with Arizona law to rectify these violations. The repairs should be conducted by licensed professionals to ensure the safety and habitability of the rental property. I kindly request a prompt response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from receiving this letter to confirm your acknowledgement of the violations and your commitment to addressing them. Additionally, please provide me with a detailed plan outlining the repairs and a specific timeline for their completion. Furthermore, I inform you that due to the current uninhabitable conditions and violation of my legal rights as a tenant, I may be entitled to exercise legal remedies provided by the Arizona Tenant Landlord Act, including withholding rent or terminating the lease agreement. I trust that you will take immediate action to resolve these issues and restore the premises to a safe and habitable condition. I value our business relationship and believe that by addressing these concerns promptly, we can maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. If I do not receive a timely response or if the repairs are not initiated within the specified time frame, I will have no choice but to explore all legal options available to me to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
