Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I recently received your Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance, dated [date], which alleges that I am in violation of the terms of our lease agreement. However, after carefully reviewing the notice and conducting thorough research, I respectfully disagree with the claims made. First and foremost, it is important to note that the noncompliant condition mentioned in the notice was caused directly by your own deliberate or negligent act. As the landlord, you have an obligation to ensure the habitability and proper maintenance of the rental property according to the applicable laws and regulations. Unfortunately, your failure to fulfill this duty has resulted in the current noncompliant condition. Upon moving into the premises on [move-in date], I relied on your representation that the property was in good condition and met all necessary safety standards. However, within the first week of occupancy, I noticed several issues that clearly indicate a lack of proper maintenance and regular inspections. These issues include but are not limited to: 1. Plumbing problems: The presence of leaking pipes, malfunctioning faucets, and recurring drain blockages have not only inconvenienced me but have also caused extensive water damage to the property. I believe this neglect falls under your responsibility as the landlord. 2. Electrical malfunctions: Faulty wiring, flickering lights, and frequent power outages pose serious safety hazards. I have made numerous attempts to have these issues addressed, but your lack of action has made the property noncompliant. 3. Pest infestation: The presence of rodents, insects, and other pests within the premises is not only unlivable but also a clear violation of my right to a habitable dwelling. The infestation could have been prevented through regular pest control measures, which appears to be neglected on your part. As a responsible tenant, I have promptly reported these issues to you, both verbally and in writing, on multiple occasions. However, despite my repeated requests and reminders, you have failed to address these problems adequately or in a timely fashion. Consequently, I believe it is unfair and unjust for you to seek to terminate my tenancy based on noncompliance caused by your own deliberate or negligent acts. In light of the circumstances, I kindly request that you rectify the aforementioned noncompliant conditions within a reasonable time frame, as stipulated by the local laws and our lease agreement. I emphasize that this is not only to ensure my comfort and safety but also to bring the property in line with the stated regulations. Moreover, I am willing to cooperate fully by allowing access to the property for necessary repairs and inspections during reasonable hours. However, I expect prior notice in compliance with the lease agreement and the applicable laws. In the event that you fail to address these issues promptly, I may have no choice but to take appropriate legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I sincerely hope that such measures will not be necessary, as I believe that resolving this matter amicably is in both our best interests. Please understand that I value our landlord-tenant relationship and would prefer to resolve this matter without escalation. I kindly request a prompt response to this letter, acknowledging your understanding of the situation and your commitment to taking the necessary actions to remedy the noncompliant conditions that are directly attributable to your own actions. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
