[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 in good health and high spirits. I am writing to inform you of a pressing issue regarding the heating system in my rented premises. As a responsible tenant, I would like to notify you that the heater in my dwelling, located at [Your Address], Greensboro, North Carolina, is currently broken, unsafe, or inadequate. As such, I kindly request your immediate attention and remedial action to resolve this matter promptly. The condition of the heating unit poses significant concerns considering the approaching harsh winter season. I have noticed the following issues that have led me to believe that the heater is in need of repair or replacement: 1. Lack of heat: Despite adjusting the thermostat, the heater fails to produce sufficient warmth within the premises. This has made it extremely uncomfortable and even unbearable to perform daily activities. 2. Unusual noises: The heater emits strange, loud, and disturbing noises during its operational cycle. These noises have increased in intensity and frequency over time, signifying potential underlying issues that require professional attention. 3. Inconsistent temperature regulation: The thermostat fails to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the dwelling. As a result, certain rooms experience extreme temperature fluctuations, making it difficult to live comfortably and safely. 4. Foul odors: The heating unit sometimes emits foul and unusual odors when in use. This raises concerns around the cleanliness and safety of the system and may indicate the presence of harmful particles or potential fire hazards. Considering the potential dangers associated with a broken or inadequate heating system, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these concerns. As per the terms of our rental agreement and the landlord's responsibility for maintaining habitable living conditions, I expect the following remedies to be promptly undertaken: 1. Arrange for a licensed and experienced HVAC professional to inspect the heating system and identify the root cause of its malfunction. 2. Repair or replace the heating unit as necessary to ensure proper functioning and efficiency. 3. Provide a timeline for the completion of necessary repairs or replacement, ensuring that the heating system is operational before the onset of the colder weather. 4. Ensure that any associated repairs or replacement are carried out in compliance with local building codes and safety standards. Please be advised that the broken, unsafe, or inadequate heating system poses a threat to my well-being and comfort, in addition to potentially violating the implied warranty of habitability. If adequate measures are not taken within a reasonable amount of time, I may be left with no choice but to explore legal remedies to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. I have complete faith in your ability to promptly address this matter and resolve the heater-related issues in my rented premises. I kindly request acknowledgement of this written notice within [reasonable timeframe, typically 48-72 hours], along with a detailed plan of action to rectify the situation. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
