Lansing Michigan Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Broken, Unsafe or Inadequate Heater, Demanding Immediate Remedy [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding the heating system in the rented residential property located at [Rental Property Address]. I regretfully inform you that the heater within the premises is currently malfunctioning, presenting a dangerous and inadequate living condition. It is unreliable in providing adequate heating during this cold season, which poses both health and safety risks to myself, my family, and potentially other occupants of the property. The following occurrences regarding the heater's functionality have been observed and experienced: 1. Insufficient heating: Despite setting the thermostat to the recommended temperature, the heater consistently fails to adequately warm the living areas, leaving us in discomfort. 2. Frequent breakdowns: The heater regularly malfunctions, resulting in abrupt stops in heating, and leaving us in the cold for extended periods. This unreliable and inconsistent performance is both inconvenient and distressing. 3. Safety concerns: There have been instances where we noticed unusual odors emanating from the heating system. Additionally, the furnace produces abnormal noises, raising serious concerns about the safety and integrity of the heater. 4. High energy consumption: Due to the apparent inefficiency and constant breakdowns, the defective heater is consuming an excessive amount of energy, leading to inflated heating bills. This financial burden is unjustified and places an additional strain on our already tight budget. In light of the above complications caused by the malfunctioning heater, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the issue and ensure the provision of a safe, functioning heating system within the property. As per our tenancy agreement and the legal obligations of a landlord, it is your responsibility to maintain the property in a habitable condition, including providing a functioning heating system. I kindly ask that you promptly arrange for a professional inspection of the heating system to assess the extent of the problem and commence necessary repairs or replacements without delay. Alternatively, please consider providing temporary heating solutions, such as space heaters, until the main heating system is repaired or replaced. Moreover, I request that you notify me in writing within [reasonable timeframe] with the proposed course of action and the estimated date by which the necessary repairs or replacements will be completed. This will allow me to plan accordingly and ensure the comfort and safety of my family during this period. Please be advised that if I do not receive a satisfactory response or immediate action within a reasonable timeframe, I may exercise my legal rights as a tenant, which may include contacting the relevant housing authority, seeking legal advice, or withholding rent until the issue is resolved. I sincerely hope that we can reach a prompt resolution and restore the heating system to a safe and efficient state promptly. I look forward to your timely response and cooperation in this matter. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
