Subject: Response to Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance — Noncompliant Condition Caused by Landlord's Deliberate/Negligent Act Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing in response to your recent notice to terminate my tenancy due to noncompliance caused by a condition that was the result of your own deliberate or negligent act. I would like to address and rectify the matter, as well as express my concerns and expectations moving forward. Firstly, I want to emphasize that I have always strived to be a responsible and compliant tenant. I have promptly paid my rent and utilities, adhered to the terms of the lease agreement, and treated the property with utmost care. However, the noncompliant condition you mentioned was indeed caused by your deliberate or negligent act, which raises several issues that need to be addressed. [Describe the noncompliant condition in detail] — e.g., broken refrigerator, leaking pipes, faulty wiring, mold growth — that poses a threat to my health, safety, and overall enjoyment of the property. This situation not only undermines my quality of life but also goes against the implied warranty of habitability, as mandated by California law. I understand that as a landlord, you have a duty to maintain the rental property in a habitable condition. Moreover, California Civil Code Section 1941.1 places the responsibility on landlords to ensure that their properties meet specific health, safety, and structural standards. In this case, the noncompliant condition I am facing is a direct result of your actions or lack thereof. Therefore, it is imperative that you rectify this situation promptly. To address this issue, I kindly request the following actions be taken: 1. [Specify the specific repairs or solutions required] — e.g., fixing the broken refrigerator, addressing the leaking pipes, hiring a professional to repair faulty wiring, conducting a thorough inspection to identify and eliminate the mold growth completely. 2. [Specify a reasonable timeframe for the repairs] — Within 14 days from the date of this letter, I expect that appropriate actions will be taken to address the noncompliant condition. Please schedule a mutually convenient time for a professional repair person to access the property and undertake the necessary repairs. If additional time or access is required, kindly inform me in writing with a detailed explanation. 3. [Express your rights as a tenant] — As a tenant, I reserve the right to have a rental property that meets the required standards of habitability. If the requested repairs are not completed within the specified timeframe or the issues persist despite your efforts, I may have to consider other options, such as contacting the local authorities, pursuing legal action, or withholding rent as permitted by law. I believe that open communication and collaboration can help resolve this matter swiftly and amicably. I hope we can work together to rectify the noncompliant condition, ensuring that my rights as a tenant are fully respected in accordance with the laws and regulations of Visalia, California. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and swift action to resolve the noncompliance issue.
