I am writing with concern regarding the current state of the heating system in my rental property located at [Rental Property Address] in Miramar, Florida. It has come to my attention that the heater is broken, unsafe, or inadequately functioning, which is significantly impacting my comfort and well-being during the colder months. [If applicable: Specify the date when you first noticed the issue and any previous attempts made to report it.] Despite my previous attempts to address this matter directly with your maintenance staff or via a previous letter, the heating issue remains unresolved. I am concerned about the potential health and safety risks posed by the lack of proper heating. Miramar, Florida experiences low temperatures during winter, and living in a rental property without a functional heater is not only uncomfortable but also poses health risks for myself and potentially other tenants. I hereby formally request an immediate inspection and repair of the heating system in my rental unit. It is my right, as a tenant, to have functional heating facilities in my rented premises, as outlined in both the lease agreement and applicable Florida laws. I kindly request that you take the following actions to address this matter promptly: 1. Conduct an inspection by a qualified heating professional to verify the existence and severity of the heating issue. 2. Upon identification of the problem, make all necessary repairs or replacement of the heating system, ensuring it meets the safety standards and adequately heats the premises. 3. Provide a written notification, within 48 hours of receiving this letter, detailing the action plan to rectify the heating problem and a timeline for its completion. 4. If the issue is not resolved within a reasonable timeframe, provide temporary heating alternatives or a suitable arrangement to ensure the living conditions are safe and comfortable during the repairs. Please be advised that should appropriate action not be taken within a reasonable time, I may be forced to seek legal remedies to enforce my rights as a tenant under the lease agreement and Florida landlord-tenant laws. Furthermore, I kindly request, in accordance with Florida statutes, an itemized statement of the repair costs, any applicable deductions from my security deposit to cover these expenses, and supporting documentation for verification purposes. I look forward to your prompt attention and resolution of this matter. I expect to hear from you within seven (7) days from the date of this letter. Failure to address this issue will leave me with no choice but to take further action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will act swiftly to ensure the proper heating facilities are provided as required by law.
