This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This letter is written by a Tenant to a Landlord in response to Landlord's notice of eviction. Tenant asserts that the conditions which caused Landlord to evict Tenant were a result of Landlord's or Landlord's agents actions. Tenant requests non-eviction and repairs to the property immediately. Tenant reserves his/her legal rights at law to sue, etc.
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 from you. I have carefully reviewed the notice and want to address the issue at hand. It is my belief that the noncompliant condition of my rental unit has been caused by your deliberate or negligent act, and I would like to bring this to your attention. Firstly, let me express my disappointment in the way this matter has been handled so far. As a tenant, I have fulfilled my obligations of paying rent on time and maintaining the premises to the best of my abilities. However, it seems that you have fallen short in ensuring the habitability and safety of the property. One specific example of your deliberate or negligent act that has caused the noncompliant condition is the persistent mold infestation in the bathroom. Despite multiple requests to address this issue, months have passed, and no action has been taken. The mold growth not only poses health risks to me and my family but also violates the basic standards of habitability that you, as the landlord, are legally obligated to provide. Moreover, the malfunctioning electrical wiring in the living room is yet another instance where your deliberate or negligent act has caused a noncompliant condition. The flickering lights and frequent power outages have not only disrupted our daily lives but have also created potential fire hazards. This situation further highlights your failure to ensure a safe living environment. I must remind you that, under California law, landlords have a legal responsibility to keep rental properties in habitable condition. This obligation includes maintaining electrical systems in good working order and remedying any mold infestations promptly. By failing to do so, you are in breach of your duty as a landlord. In light of the circumstances, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the noncompliant conditions caused by your deliberate or negligent act. Specifically, I expect the mold infestation in the bathroom to be professionally remediated, and the faulty electrical wiring in the living room to be repaired promptly. Please be advised that, if these issues are not resolved within a reasonable time frame (as required by law), I may be left with no choice but to consider legal remedies available to me. I deeply regret having to take this course of action, as I value the amicable landlord-tenant relationship we have had so far. However, my primary concern is the well-being and safety of myself and my family. I look forward to hearing from you within the next [mention a reasonable deadline, e.g., 14 days] with a plan of action outlining how you intend to rectify the noncompliance issues. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
