Description

This form is a letter to provide the Landlord with legal notice of the fact that there is insufficient heat in the leased premises. Tenant is requesting that the Landlord remedy this situation by the addition or repair of heating units. Subject: Urgent Concern — Inadequate Heating Resources and Insufficient Heat in My Apartment Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue in my apartment regarding the inadequacy of the heating resources and the resulting insufficient heat during the colder months. As a tenant who values their comfort and well-being, I believe it is essential to address this matter promptly for both of our benefits. Living in Naperville, Illinois, where the temperature can drop to extreme lows during the winter, having a properly functioning heating system is vital to ensure the health and safety of myself and other tenants. Unfortunately, the current heating arrangement in my unit is proving to be severely insufficient, making it extremely uncomfortable and challenging to bear the cold temperatures. I have noticed the following instances that illustrate the inadequacy of the heating resources: 1. Inconsistent Heating: Despite adjusting the thermostat to the recommended settings, the temperature inside my apartment remains considerably cooler than the desired level. As a result, my daily activities are constantly interrupted by feeling chilly, unable to keep myself warm. 2. Cold Spots: Certain areas within the unit, particularly in the bedrooms and living room, consistently feel noticeably colder than the rest of the apartment. This indicates a potential issue with the heating system or insulation that needs to be assessed and rectified. 3. Reduced Efficiency: My monthly utility bills have significantly increased due to my continuous efforts to compensate for the lack of heat. I find myself resorting to various alternative heating methods, including space heaters, which are not only costly but also pose potential safety risks. 4. Health and Well-being Concerns: Inadequate heating can also negatively impact health, causing discomfort, and increasing the risk of respiratory problems, especially for individuals with existing medical conditions. As a tenant, I have the right to reside in a habitable and comfortable environment, free from such concerns. To address these pressing issues, I kindly request the following actions: 1. Immediate Inspection: I urge you to arrange for a professional inspection to assess the current state of the heating system in my apartment. This evaluation should determine any flaws or inefficiencies within the system or insulation that may be impeding its performance. 2. Prompt Repairs: Once the inspection identifies the root cause of the heating inadequacy, I request you to expedite any necessary repairs or replacements that will restore the heating system to its optimal functionality without delay. 3. Regular Maintenance: Implement a comprehensive maintenance schedule to ensure that the heating system is consistently inspected, serviced, and maintained in the future to prevent similar issues from recurring. 4. Rent Adjustment: Given the prolonged inconvenience and discomfort caused by the inadequate heating resources, I kindly request a fair adjustment to my rent for the affected period until the issue is resolved completely. I believe this is a fair and just consideration for the inconvenience faced. I believe that resolving this matter swiftly not only reinforces our commitment to ensuring the well-being of residents but also helps maintain a positive and amicable tenant-landlord relationship. Furthermore, I trust that you understand the urgency of this situation and will take swift action to rectify it. In good faith, I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to reach me at [Your Contact Information] to discuss any further details or arrange a convenient time for the inspection. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
