Subject: Urgent Attention Required — Complaint Regarding Repairs at [Rental Property Address] [Landlord's Full Name], [Landlord's Address], [City, State, Zip Code], [Date] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious issue concerning the lack of necessary repairs at the rental property located at [Rental Property Address] in Stamford, Connecticut. This letter serves as an official complaint regarding your failure to fulfill your responsibilities as the landlord and ensure the habitability and safety of the premises. Unfortunately, despite our previous discussions, the issues I have encountered within the property have remained unresolved. The persistent inaction on your part has forced me to take this formal approach in hopes of prompting immediate attention to these matters. 1. Non-functioning Heating System: Recently, during the colder months, the heating system has proven entirely defective, leaving me and other tenants in discomfort and subject to extremities. This inadequate heating has significantly affected the habitability of the property, contravening the explicit expectations set forth in the lease agreement. 2. Damaged Plumbing: Numerous instances of plumbing issues, such as leaks, burst pipes, and clogged drains, have occurred without any effort made on your part to provide the necessary repairs. These persistent problems are creating unsanitary living conditions, potential water damage, and pose a significant inconvenience to the household. 3. Electrical Defects: There are several noticeable electrical issues within the premises that need immediate attention. Faulty outlets, flickering lights, and frequent power surges raise concerns about fire hazards and the overall safety of the property. Neglecting these matters endangers both the property and the well-being of all occupants. 4. Pest Infestation: Despite reporting the presence of pests on multiple occasions, including rodents and insects, no actions have been taken to address this severe problem. The infestation not only undermines the cleanliness and hygiene of the premises but also creates health hazards and distress among the occupants. In light of the above, I kindly request that you immediately take steps to resolve all these concerns to restore the rented property to an acceptable standard of living. Under Connecticut law, landlords are legally obligated to provide habitable conditions, maintain essential services, and ensure timely repairs. I propose scheduling a meeting within the next seven (7) days to inspect the property, address the aforementioned issues, and mutually agree upon a reasonable timeline for repairs. Additionally, it would be greatly appreciated if you could specify the contact information of the professionals you intend to hire, as I may need to communicate directly with them if there are any further concerns or arrangements required. Please consider this letter a formal notice, serving as documentation of my grievances. Failure to take appropriate action within a reasonable time frame may result in further legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that this will not be necessary, as prompt attention to these matters will ensure a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. I look forward to hearing from you promptly. Feel free to contact me at [Your Contact Information] at your earliest convenience.
