Subject: Winston-Salemem, North Carolina — Urgent Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Failure to Comply with Building Codes Jeopardizing Health and Safety Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing concern regarding the current condition of the property I am renting at [Property Address]. It has come to my attention, after thorough research and consultation with relevant authorities, that the building does not meet the required safety and health standards set forth by the Winston-Salemem building codes. As you are aware, it is the landlord's duty to provide a safe and habitable dwelling for tenants. However, the following building code violations have been identified, severely compromising both the living conditions and safety of the premises: 1. [Violation 1]: Specify the code violation affecting health or safety. 2. [Violation 2]: Mention another code violation impacting health or safety. 3. [Violation 3]: Elaborate on the third violation causing an untenantable condition. These violations pose a direct threat to my well-being and make the property untenantable. A failure to address these issues promptly may lead to further legal consequences for non-compliance. With this letter, I am formally demanding you take immediate action to rectify the situation in the following manner: 1. Conduct an inspection by a certified professional to fully evaluate the extent of the violations and hazards. 2. Engage licensed contractors to make the necessary repairs and improvements to bring the property into compliance with all applicable building codes promptly. 3. Provide a detailed timeline for completion of all corrective measures, ensuring that it is reasonable and respects the urgency of the situation. 4. Notify me in writing of the actions you intend to take to rectify these violations within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] from the receipt of this letter. Please remember that as a tenant, I have the right to reside in a safe, secure, and habitable dwelling as guaranteed by North Carolina state law. While I have every intention of continuing my tenancy once these issues are addressed, I must emphasize that repeated neglect or failure on your part to fulfill your obligations may leave me no choice but to seek legal remedies and report the violations to the appropriate authorities. In closing, I trust that you understand the importance of promptly resolving these building code violations to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of all residents. I expect a timely response to this letter outlining your plan of action to remedy the mentioned violations. Failure to respond within the specified timeframe will leave me no choice but to pursue all available legal options to protect my rights and well-being. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant Address] [Tenant Contact Information]
