Description

This is a sample letter from the Tenant to a Landlord. This letter is used as a Notice to the Landlord that the premises is considered uninhabitable and is in violation of their rental agreement. Subject: Urgent Notice of Uninhabitable Conditions and Demand for Immediate Repairs Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the current state of the rented premises in Fort Wayne, Indiana and to express my serious concerns regarding its unlivable conditions, which are in violation of applicable laws and regulations. As a tenant, I have a right to a safe and habitable living environment, and it is my sincere hope that you will take immediate action to rectify the issues outlined below. 1. [Keyword: Safety Hazards] The presence of numerous safety hazards within the property poses a significant risk to me and other occupants. These hazards include exposed wiring, non-functioning smoke detectors, broken or missing handrails, faulty locks on entry doors, mold growth, and inadequate lighting, which compromises our safety and well-being. 2. [Keyword: Structural Defects] It has come to my attention that the property suffers from severe structural defects that need urgent repair. These include cracked walls and ceilings, leaking pipes, water infiltration, damaged or sagging floors, or foundational issues, compromising the integrity of the building and endangering the well-being of its occupants. 3. [Keyword: Sanitation Problems] The lack of proper sanitation facilities and maintenance is unacceptable and violates health regulations. The property's plumbing system frequently experiences blockages, resulting in foul odors and sewage backups. Additionally, pests, such as rodents and insects, have infested the premises due to the neglectful state of both the interior and exterior, further compromising our health and living conditions. 4. [Keyword: Inadequate Heating and Cooling Systems] The malfunctioning or absence of efficient heating and cooling systems makes it impossible to maintain a comfortable indoor climate, especially during extreme weather conditions. This lack of proper temperature control affects our health, impairs daily activities, and violates the standards required for a habitable living space. 5. [Keyword: Lack of Essential Amenities] The property is devoid of essential amenities necessary for everyday living. For example, the kitchen appliances, including the stove, refrigerator, and microwave, are in a state of disrepair or completely non-functional. The absence of these amenities significantly hinders our ability to prepare meals and store perishable items, elevating the inconvenience and unsuitability of the property. Given the current state of the premises and the violations outlined above, I kindly request that you promptly take the following actions: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the property to assess and confirm the existence of the issues mentioned. 2. Engage the services of qualified professionals, such as licensed contractors or repair companies, to address and resolve all identified problems in a timely manner. 3. Provide a written timeline indicating the planned repairs and restoration, specifying commencement dates and expected completion. 4. Offer temporary alternative accommodation, preferably of a similar standard and convenience, until the necessary repairs are successfully completed if the issues render the property uninhabitable. 5. Immediately cease all rental payments until the premises are restored to a habitable condition, as per the law and the terms of our rental agreement. Failure to address these issues promptly and effectively may leave me no alternative but to pursue legal remedies available to me under relevant laws and regulations to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that you understand the urgency and gravity of this situation and will take immediate action to remedy the unacceptable living conditions. I value our landlord-tenant relationship and believe that we can address these concerns amicably and professionally. Furthermore, I kindly request a response within [reasonable timeframe] to ensure our continued cooperation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
