This form is used by a tenant to notify the landlord that the leased premises are untenantable and uninhabitable. Through this form, the tenant makes a demand for repair of the premises. If repairs are not made by the landlord, the tenant may have the right to terminate the lease or abate rent. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention the current condition of the premises I am currently renting at [Property Address] in Greensboro, North Carolina. Unfortunately, after a thorough inspection, it has come to my attention that the property is in an uninhabitable condition, which violates the law and puts my safety and well-being at risk. Upon moving into the premises on [Move-in Date], I had high hopes of finding a comfortable home. However, I have encountered numerous issues that remain unresolved, despite my previous attempts to inform you verbally. As per my rights as a tenant and the laws governing habitability, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to address the following concerns: 1. Plumbing: The plumbing system in the property is malfunctioning. There have been consistent leaks, leading to water damage, mold growth, and an unpleasant odor. Additionally, the water pressure is insufficient, making it difficult to perform daily tasks such as showering or washing dishes. 2. Electrical System: The electrical system within the premises is faulty and poses a significant risk of fire hazards. Frequent power outages, exposed wires, and malfunctioning switches are a cause for concern. This issue not only endangers my safety but also violates the building codes and regulations of Greensboro, North Carolina. 3. Pest Infestation: Despite my repeated attempts to address this matter, I have noticed a persistent presence of pests, including rodents and insects, throughout the property. This not only compromises my comfort but also presents health risks, as pests can transmit diseases and cause damage to personal property. 4. Heating and Cooling System: The heating and cooling system in the property is unreliable, leaving me exposed to extreme temperatures. This not only affects my comfort but can have serious health implications, especially during the harsh North Carolina winters or hot summers. I understand that the responsibility to maintain the property's habitability lies with the landlord. As per Greensboro's housing laws, it is your duty to ensure that rented premises are fit for human habitation. Therefore, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to rectify these issues within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days]. If adequate repairs are not carried out promptly, I will be left with no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant and seek legal remedies available to me. However, I believe that resolving these concerns in an amicable manner is in both our best interests. In conclusion, I urge you to give urgent attention to the maintenance and repair needs of the premises as outlined above. I appreciate your prompt action and hope that we can address these issues swiftly, allowing me to continue residing in a safe and habitable environment. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of these concerns. Yours sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Phone Number] [Tenant's Email Address] P.S. — If there are any other types of Greensboro North Carolina letters from tenants to landlords containing notices of uninhabitable premises in violation of the law and demanding immediate repairs, they could include: — Notice of Mold Infestation: If the premises have excessive mold growth posing health risks to the tenant, this letter would specify the issue and demand immediate remediation. — Notice of Structural Damage: In the event of severe structural damage compromising the safety and stability of the premises, this letter would highlight the concerns and request immediate repair. — Notice of Water Damage and Mold: If the property has sustained significant water damage leading to mold growth and potential health hazards, this letter would address both issues and demand immediate action. — Notice of Inadequate Security Measures: If the property lacks proper security measures such as broken locks, malfunctioning alarm systems, or inadequate lighting, this letter would bring attention to the issue and request its prompt resolution.
