I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue regarding the heater in the rental property located at [Rental Property Address, City, State, ZIP Code]. It has come to my attention that the heater is broken, causing great discomfort, and posing potential safety hazards to me and other tenants. Upon numerous attempts to adjust the thermostat and troubleshoot the heater, it is evident that the heating system is malfunctioning. Despite following the instructions provided and seeking professional assistance, the heater continues to operate inadequately. This issue has resulted in frigid temperatures within the premises, making it unbearable to live in the property, especially during the colder months.

Living in such conditions poses health risks, especially to vulnerable individuals like children and the elderly. It is imperative that immediate action be taken to remedy this situation and restore the heating system to a safe and functional state. In light of the seriousness of this matter, I kindly request the following actions to be taken promptly: 1. Arrange for a qualified heating technician to inspect and repair the broken heater within the next 48 hours. 2. Provide me with regular updates on the progress of the repairs and ensure I am informed of any relevant developments. Please be aware that as a tenant, I have the right to a livable and safe environment as outlined in the tenant's rights statutes of the State of Indiana. Failing to address this issue in a timely manner would be a clear violation of my rights, and it may force me to seek legal remedies or involve local housing authorities to ensure my safety and well-being. I trust that you will treat this matter with urgency and priority it deserves, considering the potential health risks associated with a malfunctioning heater. I appreciate your immediate attention to this issue and hope for a swift resolution. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I look forward to hearing from you within the next 24 hours to confirm the necessary actions that will be taken. Sincerely, [Your Name]
