Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a demand letter from Tenant to Landlord demanding that leased conditions be repaired or remedied within ten days and made compliant with building codes. The condition of the leased premises are currently unsafe and/or unhealthy. Title: Lakeland Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Failure of Compliance with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety — Demand for Remedy Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to inform you of a serious matter regarding the failure to comply with building codes that directly affect my health, safety, and render the premises untenantable. As your tenant, I have a right to live in a safe and habitable environment. It is my duty to bring these issues to your attention so that you may take immediate action to rectify the situation. The Untenantable Conditions: 1. Inadequate Electrical Wiring: I have noticed repeated electrical failures, and I am concerned about the outdated and faulty wiring within the property. This poses a significant risk of electrical fires and potential accidents. Immediate inspection and necessary repairs are required to comply with the building codes. 2. Mold Infestation: The presence of ongoing mold growth in various areas of the property, such as the bathroom and bedroom, has significantly impacted the air quality, causing potential health hazards. Professional mold remediation is necessary, as dictated by the building codes, to ensure a safe and healthy environment for me as the tenant. 3. Plumbing Issues: The persistent plumbing problems, including leaky pipes and backed-up drains, are not only inconvenient but also pose health risks due to potential water damage and the growth of bacteria. These issues need to be promptly addressed to comply with the required building codes. 4. Inadequate Fire Safety Measures: Upon inspection, I discovered that several vital fire safety measures, such as malfunctioning smoke detectors and blocked fire exits, are not up to code. These deficiencies severely compromise my safety and violate my rights as a tenant. Immediate installation, repair, or upgrade of these safety provisions is essential. 5. Structural Deficiencies: The noticeable cracks in the walls, doors that do not close properly, and other structural deficiencies are not only aesthetically displeasing but also indicate potential risks in case of accidents or emergencies. It is imperative to conduct a professional inspection and address these issues to ensure compliance with building codes, as well as the safety and habitability of the premises. Demand for Remedy: In light of the aforementioned violations of building codes, I hereby request your immediate attention and action to rectify these issues within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to bring the property into compliance and ensure a safe and livable environment. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to seek legal remedies, withhold rent until the issues have been resolved, and/or terminate the lease. Conclusion: I trust that you understand the urgency of the matter and the importance of complying with building codes that ensure the health, safety, and habitability of the property. I kindly request your prompt response outlining the specific actions you will take to resolve these concerns. I believe that by addressing and remedying these issues together, we can maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship.
