[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 Uninhabitable Premises in Violation of Law and Demand for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord’s Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention certain dire conditions within the rental premises located at [Property Address], which are in violation of applicable laws and regulations, rendering the property uninhabitable. I kindly request your immediate attention and action to rectify these issues promptly. As a tenant renting said property, it is my duty to inform you that the premises fail to meet the minimum requirements outlined in the Minneapolis Minnesota Housing Maintenance Code. Specifically, the following violations exist: 1. Health and Safety Violations: — Presence of mold, mildew, and water damage, which poses serious health risks. — Inadequate ventilation throughout the property, leading to poor air quality. — Non-functioning or malfunctioning smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, jeopardizing tenant safety. 2. Plumbing and Sanitary Violations: — Frequent water leakages and sewage backups, resulting in unsanitary conditions. — Lack of hot water supply for an extended period, impeding daily functions. 3. Structural and Electrical Violations: — Damaged or unsafe flooring, walls, ceilings, or stairs, posing threats to tenant safety. — Faulty electrical wiring, outlets, or switches, which may lead to fire hazards. 4. Pest Infestation: — Persistent presence of rodents, insects, or other pests within the property due to inadequate pest control measures. These violations not only compromise my health, safety, and well-being but also constitute a breach of the implied warranty of habitability as recognized by Minnesota law. Accordingly, I demand that you undertake the necessary repairs and maintenance activities outlined under the Minneapolis Minnesota Housing Maintenance Code to rectify the aforementioned violations. Failure to do so within a reasonable timeframe, as determined by applicable laws, may leave me with no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant, seek legal remedies, withhold rent, and/or terminate the lease agreement altogether. Please provide written acknowledgment of receipt of this letter, along with a detailed plan for addressing the violations mentioned above within [reasonable time, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this notice. It is imperative that you take swift and effective action to ensure the habitability and safety of the rental property. Kindly note that I have documented the mentioned violations, including photographs, videos, and any relevant correspondence concerning the property’s condition, as evidence of the violations and your failure to address them. I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and a prompt resolution to restore the premises to a habitable, safe, and compliant condition. I believe that resolving these concerns will benefit both parties and help maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I eagerly await your response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
