This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This is a demand letter from Tenant to Landlord demanding that leased conditions be repaired or remedied within ten days and made compliant with building codes. The condition of the leased premises are currently unsafe and/or unhealthy. Subject: Urgent Demand for Remedy — Failure to Comply with Building Codes and Untenantable Condition Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address an increasingly concerning matter that demands your immediate attention as the landlord of the property located at [Property Address] in Middlesex, Massachusetts. Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that certain critical building code violations have been consistently neglected, posing a serious threat to the health and safety of myself and fellow tenants. These violations include, but are not limited to: 1. Electrical Hazards: Defective wiring, exposed outlets, and malfunctioning circuit breakers which could potentially lead to electrical fires and electrocution risks. 2. Structural Integrity: Cracked and deteriorating walls, ceilings, and floors, coupled with alarming signs of water leakage and the presence of mold and mildew. These conditions have continuously raised concerns about the stability of the building. 3. Plumbing and Sanitation: Persistent plumbing issues such as recurring sewage backups, leaking pipes, and lack of running water in certain areas, compromising hygiene and basic living standards. 4. Inadequate Ventilation: Lack of proper ventilation systems, leading to poor air quality, excessive humidity, and an environment conducive to the growth of hazardous airborne contaminants. It is with great disappointment that I must inform you that these building code violations have left the premises in an untenantable condition. The current state of disrepair and neglect severely impede my right to enjoy a safe and habitable residence. It is important to emphasize that these concerns extend beyond mere inconvenience, as they jeopardize the well-being and security of all residents. In light of this, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues in accordance with the applicable building codes and regulations enforced by Middlesex County. As my landlord, it is your legal responsibility to ensure the premises are maintained in a suitable livable condition. I feel compelled to inform you that failure to promptly address and remedy these grievances will leave me with no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant, which may entail seeking legal counsel, reporting the property to the appropriate authorities, or ultimately terminating the lease agreement. I genuinely hope that we can resolve these issues swiftly and amicably, without recourse to such drastic measures. Please provide a written response within [reasonable time frame] outlining the steps you intend to take to rectify these violations and restore the property to a safe and habitable condition. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you understand the gravity of the situation and will take the necessary actions to ensure our well-being.
