[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater & Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue regarding the heater in my rented premises at [your address]. Unfortunately, I must inform you that the heater is currently broken, rendering it unsafe and inadequate to meet my heating needs during this cold South Bend, Indiana winter. This matter requires your immediate attention and prompt action to ensure my safety and well-being as your tenant. It is important to note that a malfunctioning heating system poses significant health risks, particularly during cold weather conditions. I kindly request you to give this matter the utmost priority and take swift action to remedy the situation. The broken, unsafe, or inadequate nature of the heater is causing several detrimental effects, which I would like to outline explicitly: 1. Insufficient heating: Despite my attempts to adjust the thermostat and following all necessary operating instructions, the heater fails to provide adequate warmth throughout the rental unit. Consequently, this compromised heating system is leading to discomfort and potential health hazards. 2. Health concerns: The insufficient heating creates an environment prone to moisture build-up, which can result in the growth of mold and mildew. These can cause various respiratory problems and allergic reactions, posing a severe health risk to me and anyone resides in the premises. 3. Increased energy consumption: In attempts to compensate for the lack of proper heating, I have resorted to using additional space heaters and electric blankets, consequently leading to excessive energy consumption. This excessive energy usage not only burdens me financially but also raises concerns regarding the electrical safety of the premises. Considering the aforementioned issues, I demand an immediate remedial action to rectify the heater's condition. In light of South Bend's harsh winter weather, I request your immediate attention to the following remedies: 1. A prompt inspection by a qualified professional to diagnose the root cause of the heater malfunction. 2. Timely repairs or, if necessary, a complete replacement of the heating system to ensure long-term functionality and reliability. 3. Provision of temporary heating arrangements until the issue is rectified to an acceptable standard. 4. Compensation or adjustment in rent for the period during which the heater was ineffective and the discomfort caused. Please be advised that my rights as a tenant under the laws of South Bend, Indiana entitle me to a safe and habitable living environment with proper heating facilities. Failure to address this issue within a reasonable timeframe could result in further action, including reporting the matter to local housing authorities. To facilitate prompt communication on this matter, I kindly request you to acknowledge receipt of this letter within [mention a reasonable time frame] and provide an update on the steps you will be taking to address the issue. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I trust that you will take swift action to resolve the broken, unsafe, or inadequate heater situation in my rented premises.
