[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Remedy for Failure to Comply with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety or Resulting in Untenantable Condition Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention several critical issues regarding the state of the premises I am currently renting from you, located at [Rental Property Address], Bridgeport, Connecticut. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you of the following violations affecting health, safety, and making the unit uninhabitable, demanding prompt action to remedy the situation. 1. Unsafe electrical system: The electrical system in the rental unit is in dire need of your attention. There are exposed wires, malfunctioning outlets, and frequent power surges, which pose a significant risk of electric shock, fire hazards, and damage to my personal property. This not only violates the building codes but also jeopardizes the safety of myself and other tenants. 2. Structural integrity concerns: The building exhibits several structural issues that compromise its overall integrity and pose a direct threat to tenant safety. Cracked walls and ceilings, sinking foundation, and water leakage are evident throughout the premises. These issues not only create an untenantable condition but also adversely affect the health and well-being of the occupants. 3. Inadequate ventilation and mold growth: The lack of proper ventilation in the rental unit leads to excessive moisture accumulation, resulting in the growth of mold and mildew. This not only worsens the air quality inside the unit but also poses serious health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory allergies or conditions. Immediate remediation is necessary to eliminate the mold and improve air circulation. 4. Pest infestation: The rental unit is infested by pests, including rodents, insects, and cockroaches, which indicate a severe lack of proper maintenance and failure to comply with health and safety regulations. This infestation negatively impacts my daily life, poses health hazards, and requires immediate professional pest control measures to be implemented. I kindly request that you address these issues without delay, ensuring compliance with all relevant building codes and promptly eliminating the health and safety concerns highlighted above. As a tenant, I have the right to inhabit a safe, healthy, and habitable living space, and the current conditions do not meet these expectations. Failure to act within [reasonable timeframe, ideally 14 days from the receipt of this letter] will leave me with no choice but to seek legal remedies, including filing a complaint with the appropriate housing authorities, withholding rent until the issues are resolved, or even considering termination of the lease agreement. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your efforts in rectifying the mentioned concerns within the provided timeframe. I look forward to a prompt response and resolution. Thank you for your cooperation.
