[Your Name] [Your Address] [Daly City, California ZIP Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [Daly City, California ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to notify you of a pressing issue regarding the heater in the rented premises at [address of rental property]. It has come to my attention that the heater is in a state of disrepair, rendering it both unsafe and inadequate for providing necessary warmth during the colder months. I have observed the following problems with the heater: 1. Inadequate Heating: Despite setting the thermostat at the recommended levels and allowing ample time for the heater to function, it fails to deliver sufficient heat. This inadequacy becomes particularly apparent during the evenings and early mornings when the temperature drops significantly. 2. Heating Malfunctions: The heater often exhibits irregular behavior, such as frequent shutdowns, sudden temperature surges, and inconsistent airflow. These malfunctions not only compromise its efficiency and effectiveness but also pose potential safety hazards. Considering the extreme weather conditions that can prevail in Daly City during this time of the year, a functional and reliable heating system is crucial for maintaining a habitable living environment. As a tenant, I have a right to enjoy reasonable comfort and safety within the premises as outlined by California law. In accordance with the terms of our rental agreement and the California Civil Code section 1941.1, I kindly request you to address this matter urgently by arranging for immediate repairs or replacement of the heater. I believe that it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure the provision of a functioning heating system that meets the required safety standards. To avoid any misunderstandings or potential liabilities, I kindly ask you to respond to this letter in writing within [a reasonable time frame, e.g., seven days]. Please notify me of the specific actions you intend to take to rectify the issue. Should you choose not to address this matter promptly, I may be forced to explore other legal options available to me to protect my rights as a tenant. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, but it remains essential that you prioritize the timely resolution of this matter. Given the severity of the situation and the potential impact on my health and well-being, I kindly urge you to take immediate action. I await your prompt attention to these concerns and request that you keep me informed of any arrangements or updates related to the repair or replacement of the heater. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
