I am writing to notify you of the current state of the premises I am renting at [Rental Property Address] in Scottsdale, Arizona. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that the property is currently in violation of several laws, rendering it uninhabitable and placing my health and safety at risk. The following issues are present on the premises: 1. Severe Water Leakage: The bathroom ceiling has been leaking profusely for the past month, resulting in dangerous water accumulation that poses a significant risk of property damage and potential mold growth. This violation violates Arizona health and safety codes regarding water damage and structural integrity. 2. Inadequate Electrical System: Several electrical outlets in the living room and bedroom are malfunctioning, emitting sparks, and even causing frequent power outages.

Considering the aforementioned issues, it is clear that the current condition of the rental property is in direct violation of my rights as a tenant and is a breach of our lease agreement. I demand that you undertake the necessary repairs and remediation measures within seven (7) calendar days from the receipt of this notice to bring the premises to a safe and habitable condition. If the repairs are not commenced within the specified timeframe, I will have no other choice but to seek legal remedies available to me under Arizona law, which may include termination of the lease agreement, filing complaints with the appropriate authorities, and pursuing compensation for any damages incurred due to your negligence in maintaining the rental property.
