Title: Atlanta, Georgia Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue regarding the heater in my rented property at [address]. It has come to my attention that the heater is currently broken, rendering it unsafe and inadequate, particularly during the colder months. I kindly request your immediate attention to rectify this situation for the well-being of all occupants. As the temperatures continue to drop, the lack of a functional heating system poses severe risks to our health, comfort, and safety. The inability to maintain an appropriate temperature not only jeopardizes the maintenance of the property but also violates the implied warranty of habitability, as outlined in Georgia state law for rented premises. I understand that unforeseen circumstances and equipment failures can occur, but it is imperative that you take immediate action to restore the heater's functionality. I highly value the cooperative and professional relationship we have maintained thus far and, in this regard, request your prompt attention to ensure a timely resolution. To facilitate the necessary repairs, I kindly request the following actions be taken immediately: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the heating system by a qualified professional to identify the exact cause of the malfunction. 2. Repair or, if necessary, replace the broken parts or the entire heating system to ensure its proper functioning. 3. Schedule the repair or replacement work in a timely manner, minimally disrupting the daily routines of the tenants. 4. Provide regular updates on the progress made and expected timeline for completing the repairs to ensure transparency and informed tenant communication. While I understand that these repairs may involve considerable expenses, it is vital to prioritize the safety and well-being of your tenants. As such, I request that you initiate the repairs without delay and update me promptly as to how you plan to resolve this issue. Furthermore, I kindly request that you also inform me of any temporary solutions or alternative heating arrangements that you can provide during the time it takes to fully resolve the issue. This way, we can ensure a warm and safe living environment for all occupants until the heating system is restored. In the event that no immediate corrective action is taken within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days from receiving the letter], I will have no option but to take further action to protect my rights as a tenant. This may involve filing a formal complaint with the relevant authorities, seeking legal advice, or potentially considering rent abatement until the heating issue is resolved. I genuinely believe that we can address this matter promptly and amicably, maintaining the positive landlord-tenant relationship we have enjoyed thus far. I look forward to your prompt and favorable response regarding the steps you intend to take to remedy the heating system promptly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter in writing. Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your contact number] or [your email address].
