Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a tenant residing at [Property Address] in Gainesville, Florida, to bring to your attention the current state of the premises, which have become uninhabitable due to various violations of local laws and regulations. It is my request that immediate repairs be undertaken to rectify these issues promptly. 1. Unsanitary Conditions: The property is currently plagued by significant sanitary issues, which pose a serious risk to my health and safety. The presence of pests, stagnant water, and mold growth, especially in the bathroom and kitchen areas, indicates a lack of proper maintenance and timely repairs. These unsanitary conditions are in violation of Florida health and safety regulations. 2.

These issues are clear violations of Florida building codes. 4. Structural Deficiencies: Upon inspection, it has become evident that the property suffers from various structural deficiencies, such as cracks in the walls, sagging ceilings, and an unstable staircase. These critical issues pose a significant risk to my well-being and are violations of Florida building regulations. 5. Inadequate Heating/Cooling: The heating and cooling system within the premises fails to properly regulate temperature, leading to discomfort and compromised living conditions. This violation infringes upon Florida tenant rights and regulations. 6. Request for Immediate Repairs: Considering the severity of these issues and the violation of Florida state laws and regulations, I am kindly requesting that you take immediate action to address and rectify these problems within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days]. 7. Legal Rights and Remedies: Please be aware that under Florida law, tenants have the right to reside in a habitable dwelling free from dangerous and hazardous conditions. Failure to address these issues promptly may result in further legal action, as stipulated under Florida Landlord-Tenant Laws. Conclusion: I trust that you will give prompt attention to this matter and conduct the necessary repairs to bring the property back to a safe and habitable state. I kindly request that we arrange a meeting at the earliest convenience to discuss and establish a timeline for these repairs. I look forward to your prompt response.
