Subject: Raleigh North Carolina Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Demand for Remedy in Non-Compliance with Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety or Resulting in Untenantable Condition Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring your attention to some pressing concerns regarding the compliance of our rental property located at [Property Address], Raleigh, North Carolina, with the building codes and regulations set forth by the local authorities. These violations are significantly impacting the health and safety of myself and other tenants, rendering the premises untenantable. Primarily, I have noticed the following violations and issues affecting the property: 1. Lack of Proper Ventilation: The building lacks adequate ventilation systems, leading to poor air quality and suffocating conditions within the premises. 2. Mold and Water Damage: Several areas in the rented unit exhibit visible signs of mold growth, accompanied by water leaks and stains. These conditions pose serious threats to our health, potentially causing respiratory issues and allergic reactions. 3. Electrical Hazards: Electrical points and circuits in the property are outdated and in a state of disrepair. Faulty wiring, exposed wires, and inadequate grounding create hazardous situations, increasing the risk of electrical fires and shocks. 4. Pest Infestation: The building has become a breeding ground for pests, such as rodents and insects. Their presence compromises our living standards, hygiene, and overall health. 5. Structural Integrity: Several key structural components, including windows, doors, and locks, are in a state of disrepair, making the property vulnerable to break-ins and compromising our safety. According to the laws and regulations enforced by the City of Raleigh, North Carolina, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the rental property meets all necessary building codes, standards, and ordinances to maintain a habitable environment for tenants. By failing to address these concerns promptly, you are in direct violation of the landlord's obligations to provide a safe and habitable dwelling. Therefore, I kindly request you to remedy the aforementioned issues within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to rectify the violations and ensure compliance with the building codes. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to consider this a breach of our lease agreement, entitling me to seek legal remedies, such as withholding rent or terminating the lease. I genuinely appreciate the efforts you have made in the past to address maintenance concerns promptly, and I trust that you will treat this matter with the same level of seriousness. It is my sincere hope that we can swiftly resolve these issues amicably without the need for further action. Please respond to this letter within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] to confirm your understanding of the situation and outline the course of action you intend to take. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] Alternative Names for Different Types of Letters: 1.
