Subject: Urgent Heater Repair Notice and Demand for Immediate Remedy — Naperville, Illinois [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE OF BROKEN, UNSAFE, OR INADEQUATE HEATER AND DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE REMEDY I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a significant issue with the heater in the rental property located at [Property Address], Naperville, Illinois. I firmly believe that urgent action is necessary to address this matter to ensure the safety, well-being, and comfort of all tenants. The following observations and concerns have led me to conclude that the heater is broken, unsafe, and inadequate: 1. Insufficient Heat: Despite adjusting the thermostat and waiting for an extended period, the heater fails to provide sufficient warmth throughout the premises. This not only compromises our comfort but also poses potential health risks, especially during the frigid winter months. 2. Inconsistent Heating: The heater operates erratically, resulting in noticeable temperature fluctuations throughout the day and night. This unreliability adversely affects our ability to maintain a comfortable living environment and may lead to increased energy consumption. 3. Strange Noises or Odors: On several occasions, I have noticed an unusual grinding noise or distinct smell emanating from the heating system. Such a situation may indicate mechanical failures or potential health hazards, requiring immediate professional attention. 4. Safety Hazards: Inadequate heating can cause pipes to freeze, resulting in bursting and subsequent water damage to the property. Furthermore, inadequate heating conditions can lead to health issues for tenants, especially children and the elderly, as well as increase the risk of hypothermia. Considering the urgency and importance of rectifying this matter promptly, I hereby demand the following actions to be taken within [reasonable time frame, i.e., 24-48 hours]: 1. Immediate Inspection: Dispatch a qualified heating professional to conduct a thorough inspection of the heater to identify the cause(s) of malfunction and address the safety concerns. 2. Prompt Repairs: Undertake all necessary repairs required to restore the heater's functionality and efficiency. This includes replacing faulty components, cleaning ducts, or investing in alternative heating arrangements if necessary, all in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. 3. Written Response: Provide a written response acknowledging this notice and specifying details of the actions that will be taken and their expected completion dates. Please include the contact information for the chosen heating professional for any follow-up questions or scheduling arrangements. I would like to remind you that under the Illinois Landlord and Tenant Act, it is your legal obligation to maintain the rented premises in a habitable condition, which includes ensuring adequate heating facilities. Failure to address and rectify this issue within the specified timeframe may result in further legal actions and remedies available to tenants as permitted by the law. I kindly request that you prioritize this matter and treat it with the utmost urgency. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to reach me at the contact details provided above. Thank you for your immediate attention and cooperation. I trust that this matter will be resolved promptly to ensure the well-being and satisfaction of all tenants in [Property Address]. Sincerely, [Your Name]
