I am writing in response to the Notice to Terminate for Noncompliance that I received on [date]. As a tenant of [property address] in Sterling Heights, Michigan, I would like to address the specific noncompliant condition brought up in the notice, which was directly caused by your deliberate or negligent act. First and foremost, I want to express my disappointment in the current condition of the property. It is unfortunate that the very person entrusted with maintaining a safe and habitable living environment has caused this noncompliant condition to arise. As a responsible tenant, I have always promptly communicated any concerns I had regarding repairs or maintenance, hoping for a timely resolution. One particular incident that serves as an example of your deliberate or negligent action occurred on [date]. On that day, I reported a persistent leak in the bathroom ceiling, which has since resulted in extensive water damage and compromised the structural integrity of the property. Despite my repeated requests for immediate attention, no action was taken for weeks. This demonstrates a clear lack of due diligence and regard for my well-being as a tenant. Moreover, as per the lease agreement we signed on [date], it is explicitly stated that the landlord is responsible for maintaining the premises in a habitable condition and addressing any necessary repairs or maintenance. It is concerning that instead of fulfilling your obligations, you have caused a noncompliant condition to arise through your deliberate or negligent act. Having thoroughly reviewed my rights as a tenant in Sterling Heights, Michigan, I am aware that this noncompliant condition warrants a justified response. I kindly request that you take the following actions promptly: 1. Arrange for immediate repairs and restoration of the water-damaged areas, ensuring that the structural integrity is restored, and mold or further damage is prevented. 2. Provide a detailed timeline for the completion of repairs, including any necessary inspections to ensure the property complies with all relevant health and safety codes. 3. Compensate me for any expenses related to damaged personal property caused directly by the noncompliant condition. 4. Review and revise your management practices preventing any future instances of noncompliance and ensure a prompt response to tenant concerns. Failure to address the noncompliant condition and meet the requests mentioned above will force me to seek further legal action to protect my rights as a tenant under the laws of Sterling Heights, Michigan. I am willing to explore other options to resolve this matter amicably, but it is crucial that we prioritize a safe and habitable living environment. I look forward to your prompt and satisfactory response, addressing the concerns raised herein. It is my sincere hope that this situation can be resolved cooperatively, allowing for a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship moving forward. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
