[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Inadequacy of Heating Resources and Insufficient Heat in [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the inadequate heating resources and insufficient heat provided in my rental unit located at [Rental Property Address] in El Cajon, California. Living in a region with predominantly cool winters, it is crucial for a tenant to have access to effective heating facilities, especially during the colder months. Unfortunately, I have been facing numerous issues related to the heating system in my unit, which are affecting my comfort and well-being. Firstly, the central heating system in place appears to be malfunctioning. Despite adjusting the thermostat appropriately and following the suggested temperature setting guidelines, the heating output remains insufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature within the unit. As a result, I have had to resort to using additional portable electric heaters to compensate for the lack of adequate warmth, leading to higher energy bills. Moreover, the insulation in the walls and windows of the premises seems to be inadequate, allowing drafts and cold air to seep into the unit. This further exacerbates the issue, making it even more challenging to maintain a consistently warm environment. I have made efforts by using weather stripping and applying temporary measures to address this issue, but the fundamental problem lies with the property's insulation. I kindly request that you promptly address these concerns and take the necessary steps to rectify the heating deficiencies in my rental unit. This could involve inspecting and repairing the central heating system to restore its functionality, and addressing the inadequate insulation throughout the premises, including windows and walls. As a dutiful tenant, I have upheld my responsibilities in promptly paying my rent and maintaining the premises in good condition. In return, I believe it is fair to expect a habitable living environment with adequate heating facilities. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter, as the cold temperatures are not only impacting my comfort but also potentially affecting my health and well-being. I would appreciate it if you could schedule a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss a plan of action to address these heating deficiencies. Please let me know within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] of receiving this letter about the actions you plan to take to resolve the heating issues. I look forward to a swift resolution so that both of our rights and obligations as landlord and tenant can be appropriately fulfilled. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
