Subject: Westminster Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety — Urgent Demand for Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a concerned tenant in regard to the recent discovery of several building code violations within our rental premises. These violations pose significant health and safety risks to me and other tenants residing on the property. As per the lease agreement, it is your responsibility to ensure that the rental property abides by all applicable building codes, which is essential for creating a habitable environment for us. Upon conducting thorough research and consulting with appropriate authorities, I have identified multiple violations that demand immediate attention and prompt resolution. The following are the violations that have been observed: 1. Failure to provide adequate and functioning smoke detectors in each room: — This violation is putting our lives at risk and violates the fire safety regulations mandated by Westminster Colorado. 2. Lack of proper ventilation in the bathroom and kitchen areas: — The absence of proper exhaust ventilation not only compromises our comfort but also leads to the accumulation of excess moisture, fostering the growth of mold and mildew. This poses a serious threat to our health and makes the premises untenantable. 3. Unsafe electrical wiring and inadequate grounding: — The current state of electrical wiring within the premises reveals numerous safety hazards, including exposed wires, faulty outlets, and outdated electrical panels. These conditions substantially increase the risk of electrical accidents and are in direct violation of the Westminster Colorado building codes. 4. Deficient plumbing and drainage system: — The inconsistent water pressure, recurring leaks, and improper drainage in the kitchen and bathroom facilities have caused inconvenience and potential water damage. Such conditions render the premises untenantable and must be addressed promptly. Given the aforementioned violations, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues and restore the rental property to a safe and habitable condition. I expect you to schedule appropriate repairs, undertake necessary upgrades, and obtain the required permits within a reasonable timeframe. Failure to do so will force me to pursue legal remedies available to me to protect my rights as a tenant under the current lease agreement. I understand that remedying these issues may require significant time and financial investment. However, it is crucial to prioritize the well-being and safety of your tenants, as well as maintain compliance with building codes to prevent any legal conflicts or potential liability. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that you provide me with a detailed plan of action outlining how you intend to address these violations within the next [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days]. I reserve the right to take further action if this demand is not met. Please consider this letter as a formal notice highlighting the seriousness of the situation. I trust that you will take immediate measures to ensure compliance with the building codes, prioritize our well-being, and safeguard the habitability and safety of our rental premises. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution.
