Subject: Urgent Notice — Failure to Address Maintenance and Repairs at [Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the current state of disrepair and neglect of the rental unit located at [Property Address] in Cape Coral, Florida. Despite our prior discussions and numerous reminders, I regret to inform you that several essential repairs remain unresolved, compromising the habitability and safety of the property. 1. Immediate Repairs Required: a. Plumbing Issues: The persistent leakage in the bathroom has worsened, resulting in water damage to the floors and becoming a potential hazard for slip accidents. b. Electrical Problems: Faulty wiring and frequent power outages pose a significant fire hazard within the unit, jeopardizing our safety. c. Structural Integrity: The cracks in the ceiling and walls have progressed, indicating possible foundation issues that need professional evaluation and prompt repair to ensure the stability of the apartment. d. Heating/Cooling System: The malfunctioning HVAC unit has made it unbearable to live in the extreme Florida temperatures, causing discomfort and inconvenience daily. 2. Request for Repair Timeline: I kindly request that you prioritize these pressing repairs and establish a definite timeline for completion. Given the urgency of the situation, I expect the repairs to be initiated within the next 5 business days and completed no later than [desired date]. Delays in addressing these matters have already caused significant inconvenience and potential health risks. 3. Legal Obligations and Tenant Rights: I would like to draw your attention to my rights as a tenant protected under Florida law. As per the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, it is your responsibility to maintain the premises in a habitable condition and promptly attend to any necessary repairs that affect the tenant's health or safety. Failure to address these concerns violates both our lease agreement and state law. 4. Consideration for Temporary Accommodations: The extent of the current disrepair renders the property unsuitable for living conditions. In light of this, I request that you reconsider providing temporary accommodation at your expense until the repairs have been successfully completed. Alternatively, I request a pro-rated reduction in rent for the period during which the unit remains uninhabitable. 5. Documentation and Proof of Repairs: Upon completion of the repairs, I kindly ask that you provide written documentation or official receipts to demonstrate that the necessary improvements have been carried out in compliance with both legal obligations and our agreement. This will ensure transparency and avoid any disputes or misunderstandings in the future. In conclusion, I sincerely hope that you will promptly and diligently address these issues, realizing the importance of maintaining a safe and habitable living environment for your tenants. Your cooperation in resolving these matters will not only foster a positive landlord-tenant relationship but also mitigate potential legal consequences resulting from a lack of adequate repairs. If I do not receive a satisfactory response by [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days], I will be forced to seek further action, including contacting relevant local authorities and seeking legal remedies to enforce my rights as a tenant. It is my hope that such actions will prove unnecessary. I trust that we can resolve these concerns amicably, and I look forward to your immediate attention to this matter. Please reply in writing or contact me at [tenant's contact information] at your earliest convenience.
