Subject: Urgent Notice Regarding Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater — Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a tenant of [Apartment/House Number] in Jurupa Valley, California, to inform you about a critical situation that requires your immediate attention. The purpose of this letter is to officially notify you that the heater in my dwelling is broken, rendering it unsafe and inadequate for use. I kindly request an urgent resolution to this issue to ensure our well-being during the upcoming cold weather. As you are aware, a properly functioning heating system is essential for maintaining a habitable and secure living environment, especially during the winter months. Unfortunately, the malfunctioning heater in my unit has become a cause for concern, posing potential risks to the health and safety of myself and my household. The present condition of the heater has been observed through the following circumstances: 1. Insufficient Heat Output: Despite turning the heater on and setting it to an appropriate temperature, it is unable to produce warm air to maintain comfortable living conditions and adequately heat the premises. 2. Frequent System Malfunctions: The heater constantly shuts down or fails to operate efficiently, leading to prolonged periods without any heating service. This not only compromises our comfort but also exposes us to cold temperatures, which may cause health issues. 3. Unusual Noises or Odors: Unusual sounds and odors emitted from the malfunctioning heater indicate potential mechanical problems or gas leakage concerns, posing a significant risk to our safety. Considering the seriousness of the situation, I sincerely request that immediate action be taken to rectify this matter. I kindly urge you or the authorized personnel to arrange for a professional inspection, repair, or replacement of the heater without further delay to ensure our well-being and comfort as stipulated in the lease agreement. Please be advised that continued usage of a defective heater may result in further damage, higher electricity bills due to ineffective operation, potential health risks, discomfort, and a potential violation of the implied warranty of habitability. As a good-faith tenant, I believe that prompt and necessary measures will be taken to address this issue as soon as possible. In accordance with California laws and within the framework of our lease agreement, I kindly request that you respond to this notice within [reasonable time-frame] with a plan of action or confirmation of repair commencement. I expect regular updates on the progress of the repairs until the issue is fully resolved. If adequate measures are not initiated within a reasonable period, I may be left with no choice but to seek alternative methods, such as consulting local authorities, housing agencies, or legal representation, to protect my rights as a tenant and ensure a safe and comfortable living environment. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a swift resolution to guarantee a suitable living condition in compliance with our contractual obligations. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] for any further information or to schedule an inspection. Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and prompt action in resolving this critical issue.
