Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically failure of the heating system. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that immediate repairs be made. Title: Montgomery Maryland Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater & Demand for Immediate Remedy --- Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a critical matter regarding the state of the heating system in my rented property located at [Property Address] in Montgomery, Maryland. It has come to my attention that the heater is currently broken, unsafe, and inadequately functioning, causing severe discomfort and potential hazards within the premises. One of the primary responsibilities of a landlord is to ensure that all essential utilities, including heating, are maintained and functioning efficiently. However, despite my previous attempts to remedy this issue through verbal communication, it has unfortunately been left unaddressed for an unacceptable amount of time. As a result, I am compelled to document this situation officially through written notice. The specific concerns I have regarding the heater are as follows: 1. Broken Heater: — The heater fails to produce any heat, leaving the entire property excessively cold. — Despite making adjustments to the thermostat, the temperature remains consistently low, indicating a malfunctioning unit. — A lack of heat poses considerable health risks, especially during the winter months, and increases the potential for property damage due to freezing. 2. Unsafe Heater: — Upon closer inspection, I have noticed unusual smells, strange noises, or visible sparks emanating from the heater when attempting to operate it. — This poses a significant fire hazard to the property and puts the safety and well-being of both myself and other occupants at risk. 3. Inadequate Heating: — Even when the heater manages to produce minimal warmth, it fails to distribute the heat adequately throughout the property, rendering it ineffective in providing necessary warmth in every room. — The inconsistent heating severely affects my ability to comfortably live in the premises and fulfill my obligations as a tenant. Considering both the non-functioning state of the heater and the potential risks associated with a broken, unsafe, and inadequate heating system, I kindly request an immediate and thorough resolution to this matter. I expect the necessary repairs or replacement of the heating system to be completed promptly, ensuring that the premises are restored to a safe and habitable condition. I kindly request a written acknowledgment of this notice and a specific timeframe within which you intend to address and rectify the heater-related issues. Failure to respond promptly to this notice will lead me to explore other options available under the relevant lease agreement and Maryland tenant laws to protect my rights as a tenant. Please understand that it is in both of our best interests to resolve this matter promptly and amicably. I trust that you will prioritize this situation and take the necessary actions to rectify the broken, unsafe, and inadequate heating system in the property. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect to hear from you within [reasonable timeframe] to discuss the details of the repair plan or to arrange a mutually convenient time for the repair personnel to access the premises. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
