Subject: Urgent — Demand for Remedy: Failure to Comply with Building Codes Endangering Tenant's Health and Safety in South Fulton, Georgia Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the serious concerns I have regarding non-compliance with building codes that significantly impact the health, safety, and habitability of my rented [apartment/house] located at [address] in South Fulton, Georgia. As a tenant, it is my right to reside in a safe and habitable living environment that adheres to the local residential building codes. Unfortunately, the current condition of the property poses serious threats to my well-being and cannot be considered fit to live in due to the following violations: 1. Electrical Hazards: Numerous electrical outlets are damaged or improperly wired, and several light fixtures have malfunctioning switches, exposed live wires, or inadequate grounding, creating an imminent risk of electrical shocks, fires, or other hazardous incidents. 2. Water and Plumbing Concerns: The presence of persistent leaks in the ceilings, walls, and bathroom fixtures has resulted in mold growth, weak structures, and compromised indoor air quality. This poses a severe health risk, particularly to individuals with respiratory conditions or allergies. 3. Inadequate Safety Measures: The absence of functional smoke detectors and fire extinguishers throughout the property is an alarming violation of safety regulations, potentially endangering the lives of all tenants in the event of a fire emergency. 4. Structural Deficiencies: The balcony on the [apartment/house] is showing visible signs of decay, with loose railings and weak support beams that compromise its stability. This poses a serious threat to the safety of residents and must be addressed promptly. Such blatant disregard for tenant safety and failure to comply with building codes has rendered my residence virtually untenantable. To ensure my well-being and that of my family, I kindly request that you take the following actions within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] as required by law: 1. Conduct an immediate comprehensive inspection of the property in the presence of a certified building inspector to assess all observed violations and hidden hazards that may exist. 2. Address all cited violations by engaging licensed professionals to complete the necessary repairs, replacements, or installations required by the local building codes and safety regulations. 3. Provide a written schedule detailing the timeframe for completing the repairs and ensuring compliance with the aforementioned regulations. I request that this schedule be adhered too strictly. 4. Ensure regular maintenance and prompt responses to any unresolved issues to guarantee a safe and habitable living environment throughout my tenancy. Please be advised that failure to comply with this demand for remedy within the specified timeframe will leave me with no choice but to exercise my legal rights, which may include seeking legal counsel, contacting the pertinent local authorities, pursuing break of lease due to uninhabitable conditions, and claiming appropriate compensation for the inconvenience, emotional distress, and potential health risks caused. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and take swift and decisive action to rectify the unsafe living conditions promptly. I kindly request your written acknowledgment of this letter and a detailed plan of action to be submitted to me within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution that prioritizes the health and safety of all tenants within your property.
