I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a concerning issue regarding the heating system within the rental property at [Rental Property Address] in Oxnard, California. It has come to my knowledge that the heater is broken, unsafe, and inadequate, posing potential risks to both my health and safety as a tenant. 1. Broken Heater: I want to inform you that despite my attempts to adjust and utilize the heating system appropriately, I have not been able to generate any warmth or reliable heat output. The heater fails to function entirely, leaving me without a vital amenity in winter. 2. Unsafe Conditions: Furthermore, I have noticed various safety hazards associated with the malfunctioning heater, which are posing potential risks to my well-being and the integrity of the property. These hazards include unusual noises, gas odors, sparks, or irregular flames. These indicators suggest that the heater may be experiencing severe mechanical issues or even pose the risk of fire or gas leaks. 3. Inadequate Heating: Even when the heater was functioning, its performance was far from satisfactory. It inadequately heated the rental premises, leaving me at discomfort and potentially compromising my health, especially during colder nights and harsh weather conditions. Considering the severity of the situation, I kindly request your immediate attention to rectify this matter. As my landlord, I expect you to fulfill your responsibility for maintaining a habitable dwelling as per our lease agreement and California state laws.

A failure on your part to address this matter within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no alternative but to seek relief through appropriate legal channels, as it directly impacts my rights as a tenant. Additionally, I will consider pursuing reimbursement for any associated expenses or potentially withhold rent until the issue is adequately resolved. I trust that you will promptly address this matter and provide a safe and habitable dwelling as required by law.
