Subject: Response to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Landlord's Deliberate/Negligent Noncompliant Condition Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance that I recently received, pertaining to a noncompliant condition caused by your own deliberate or negligent act here at [Rental Property Address]. First and foremost, I would like to express my concern regarding the noncompliant condition that has arisen due to your deliberate or negligent actions as a landlord. The condition, [provide a detailed description of the noncompliant condition, such as water leakage, faulty electrical wiring, pest infestation, or any other problem], has significantly impacted my ability to enjoy my tenancy and has become a matter of great inconvenience and potential health hazard. As stated in our lease agreement, it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the premises and ensure that it is safe, habitable, and free from any potential hazards that may affect my well-being. Regrettably, your failure to fulfill this obligation has led to the noncompliant condition that I am currently facing. I strongly believe that this situation is a direct result of your deliberate or negligent act, which places the burden of resolving this issue upon you. Furthermore, I would like to mention that I have taken all necessary steps to duly inform you of the noncompliant condition as soon as I became aware of it. This demonstrates my commitment to open and constructive communication, with the aim of resolving any issues in a timely manner.

However, despite my efforts, the situation still persists, indicating a failure on your part to address the matter diligently. Additionally, I would like to remind you of the legal obligations imposed upon landlords, as outlined in the Arizona Landlord-Tenant Act. This Act requires landlords to provide and maintain fit and habitable premises for tenants at all times. It also states that if landlords fail to meet these obligations, tenants have the right to take appropriate action, including withholding rent, repairing the issue themselves and deducting the cost from rent, or seeking legal remedies. While I am committed to amicable resolution, I kindly request that you adhere to your legal responsibilities and promptly resolve the noncompliant condition at the earliest. Given the gravity of this noncompliant condition and the resulting inconveniences and risks it poses, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the situation by [specify a reasonable deadline]. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to explore available legal remedies to protect my tenancy rights and seek appropriate compensation for the damages incurred. I genuinely hope that we can come to a resolution in a timely manner and restore the property to a habitable and compliant state. I believe that open, fair, and respectful dialogue is the key to resolving such matters, and I remain optimistic that we can work together toward a satisfactory solution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
