[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Immediate Repair and Uninhabitable Premises Notice Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention some grave concerns regarding the current condition of the premises I am renting from you at [Rental Property Address]. It has come to my attention that these conditions are in direct violation of both Arizona state laws and the terms outlined in our lease agreement. I regret to inform you that the premises have become uninhabitable due to several severe issues that have remained unresolved despite my previous attempts to bring them to your attention. The following aspects make the property unfit for living and violate my rights as a tenant: 1. Unsanitary living conditions: The property exhibits severe mold growth in various areas, including the bathroom, kitchen, and living areas. This poses a significant health risk to me and any other occupants. 2. Plumbing and water damage: The constant leakage from the bathroom and kitchen faucets has not been repaired, leading to water damage on the flooring and walls. This has resulted in a highly unsanitary environment and the potential growth of mold and mildew. 3. Electrical hazards: Several electrical outlets are not functioning correctly, and the wiring throughout the property is outdated and potentially hazardous. The exposed wires and flickering lights are a safety concern that requires immediate attention. 4. Pest infestation: The property has been infested with pests, including mice and cockroaches. Despite my efforts to mitigate the issue through regular cleaning, the presence of these pests persists, creating an unsanitary and unlivable environment. These issues have compromised my health, safety, and overall quality of life during my tenancy. As both Arizona law and our lease agreement require you, as the landlord, to provide habitable living conditions, I kindly request that you perform the necessary repairs and address these issues within the legally mandated period of time. According to the Arizona law (Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1361) and our lease agreement, I hereby request the following immediate actions to rectify the situation: 1. Prompt mold remediation and elimination of any potential sources of mold growth. 2. Immediate repairs to plumbing fixtures and elimination of water damage. 3. Complete rewiring or repairs to address electrical hazards and ensure the safety of all occupants. 4. Adequate pest control measures to eliminate infestation and prevent reoccurrence. Please be aware that failure to take prompt action within [insert reasonable time frame, typically 5-10 days] will leave me with no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant as outlined by Arizona law. This may include seeking legal counsel, filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities, and potentially pursuing further actions to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that you will give this matter the immediate attention it deserves, as I believe it is in both our best interests to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship and ensure a habitable living environment. I am open to discussing this matter further and finding an amicable resolution that prioritizes the safety and well-being of all parties involved. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
