[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Termination for Landlord's Noncompliance with Possibility to Cure — Fort Wayne, Indiana Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to provide proper notice of termination of my lease agreement per the provisions outlined in both the terms of our rental agreement and the Indiana Landlord-Tenant Act. This notice is being given due to the landlord's noncompliance with the terms of our agreement, which I believe can be cured within a reasonable time frame as per Indiana state law. Firstly, under the terms of our rental agreement, it clearly states that the landlord is responsible for maintaining the premises in a habitable condition throughout the lease period. Unfortunately, despite my numerous verbal and written requests, several crucial maintenance issues have remained unresolved, severely impacting my ability to enjoy the premises and creating inhabitable conditions as defined by Indiana law. The outstanding issues demanding immediate attention are as follows: 1. [Describe maintenance issue 1 — e.g., Mold growth in the bathroom caused by water leakage from the ceiling, which poses health risks and requires professional remediation] 2. [Describe maintenance issue 2 — e.g., Faulty electrical wiring in the living room resulting in intermittent power outages and potential fire hazards] 3. [Describe maintenance issue 3 — e.g., Broken heating system during the winter months, resulting in unbearable living conditions and high utility bills due to the use of alternative heating sources] According to the Indiana Landlord-Tenant Act, specifically Indiana Code § 32-31-8-5, it is required that landlords maintain the premises in compliance with applicable building and housing codes. Furthermore, Indiana Code § 32-31-8-6 states that if a landlord fails to fulfill their maintenance obligations, the tenant may terminate the rental agreement after giving written notice specifying the noncompliance and giving the landlord a reasonable opportunity to remedy the issue. Thus, I am hereby providing you with written notice that, due to your noncompliance with the aforementioned maintenance obligations, I am terminating my lease agreement effective [date, usually 30 days from the date of this notice]. Nevertheless, I am still willing to consider rescinding this notice if the specified maintenance issues are successfully addressed and resolved within a reasonable timeframe of [state a reasonable timeframe, typically 14 days]. Please be aware that if the issues are not adequately resolved within the given timeframe, I will proceed with vacating the premises and seek full legal remedies available to me under the Indiana Landlord-Tenant Act to recover any prepaid rent and deposit promptly. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably and ensure the premises are brought up to code and maintained as required by Indiana law. Kindly acknowledge your receipt of this notice and provide me with written confirmation of your intent to address the mentioned maintenance concerns. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. If you require any further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone number] or [email address].
