Vallejo California Letter from Tenant to Landlord Containing Notice That Heater is Broken, Unsafe or Inadequate and Demand for Immediate Remedy Subject: URGENT: Heater malfunction- Immediate action required! [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring an urgent issue to your attention regarding the heating system in my rental property located at [property address]. It has come to my notice that the heater is broken, posing safety hazards and inadequately providing sufficient warmth during the colder months. As the current weather conditions have plummeted, it has become increasingly challenging to maintain a comfortable living environment within the premises. Despite my attempts to adjust the thermostat and ensure proper functioning, the heater remains inoperable. This situation not only compromises my welfare but also violates my rights as a tenant. Considering the potential risks associated with a malfunctioning heater, such as carbon monoxide leaks, fire hazards, and health problems caused by prolonged exposure to low temperatures, it is paramount for you as my landlord to address this matter immediately. I kindly request your urgent attention and remedial action to restore the heating system to its optimal working condition. Please note that as per the terms of our lease agreement and the California Tenant-Landlord Laws, it is your legal obligation to provide and maintain a safe and habitable living environment. The lack of a safe heating system clearly breaches these obligations. To rectify this pressing issue, I kindly demand the following actions be taken within the next 48 hours: 1. Inspection and repair: Arrange for a qualified, licensed technician to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the heating system to identify and rectify the underlying problem. Please ensure that the repair service provider follows all relevant safety protocols and possesses the necessary certifications. 2. Timely completion: Expedite the repair process to ensure the heating system is fully operational within the aforementioned timeline. This will prevent further discomfort and health risks associated with the cold temperatures. 3. Communicate updates: Please keep me informed about the progress of these repairs. I kindly request regular updates so that I can plan accordingly and be aware of when I can expect a reliable heating system to be restored. 4. Compensation or alternative arrangements: As the heater has been non-functional for an extended period, resulting in discomfort and inconvenience, I request a fair compensation adjustment to reflect this. Alternatively, if the repair cannot be completed promptly, I request that you provide temporary heating arrangements, such as portable heaters, until the central system is fixed. Failure to address this matter promptly and adequately will leave me with no option but to pursue legal action or involve the appropriate housing authorities to ensure my rights as a tenant are respected. I trust you understand the urgency and significance of this matter. I appreciate your immediate attention and prompt action to resolve this issue. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the repairs and clarify any further information required. Thank you for your cooperation.
