Subject: Urgent Notice — Failure to Fulfill Repair Obligations: Tenant's Formal Complaint Against Landlord — Miami-Dade, Florida Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing maintenance issues within the rental property, located at [Address]. Despite my previous attempts to verbally address these matters, it has become apparent that your response and action have been insufficient and in violation of our lease agreement. As a tenant of your property, I have the right to live in a safe, habitable, and well-maintained environment. Regrettably, there are several crucial repairs that require immediate attention, adversely affecting my quality of life and potentially impacting the property's structural integrity. Hereinafter, I will outline the repairs that demand your prompt attention: 1. Plumbing: The plumbing system in the property is in dire need of repair. Frequent leaks, low water pressure, and recurrent clogging have become persistent issues, hampering my ability to carry out daily tasks efficiently. 2. Electrical System: Multiple electrical outlets within the premises are defective, posing a severe risk of electrical fires and endangering both my safety and the property as a whole. This issue demands immediate inspection and repair by a certified electrician. 3. Heating and Cooling: The central HVAC system is not functioning adequately, leading to inconsistent temperatures throughout the property. The lack of proper heating during colder months and insufficient cooling capacity during hotter months is not only uncomfortable but can also have severe health implications. 4. Pest Infestation: The property is currently infested with pests, specifically cockroaches and rodents. Despite prior verbal complaints, this issue has not been properly addressed, posing health risks and potential property damage. 5. Structural Integrity: There are noticeable cracks in the walls and ceilings, indicating potential underlying structural issues. Ignoring these signs can lead to further deterioration and compromise the safety of both the property and its occupants. I have made numerous attempts to contact you, providing sufficient opportunity to rectify these maintenance concerns. However, it is disheartening that these essential repairs continue to be neglected, which is a direct violation of your responsibilities as the landlord. Pursuant to Miami-Dade, Florida's tenant rights and our signed lease agreement, I kindly request you to undertake the following actions within [specify a reasonable and specific timeframe, typically 15-30 days]: a) Make immediate arrangements for a professional inspection of the aforementioned issues, b) Promptly engage licensed contractors to commence and complete the necessary repairs, c) Provide written confirmation of the scheduled repairs and estimated completion dates. Failure to address these concerns adequately and within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no choice but to seek legal assistance and exercise my rights as a tenant, including but not limited to rent withholding, repair and deduct, or even lease termination, in accordance with the Florida Landlord Tenant Act. Furthermore, it is essential to remind you that as a responsible landlord, maintaining the property's habitability and promptly addressing repair requests not only upholds our contractual agreement but is also essential for your reputation within the community and for attracting future potential tenants. I kindly request a written response to this letter within [reasonable timeframe, often 5-7 business days], outlining your proposed plan of action to address the aforementioned repairs. Please direct your response to the provided address [Tenant's Address]. Prompt communication and resolution of these concerns are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will address these repairs diligently, fostering a safe and comfortable living environment for us both.
