Description

This form is a letter to provide the Landlord with legal notice of the fact that there is insufficient heat in the leased premises. Tenant is requesting that the Landlord remedy this situation by the addition or repair of heating units. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning issue regarding the inadequacy of heating resources in my apartment at [Apartment Address], Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As temperatures have dropped significantly this winter, I find that the heating system is not providing sufficient heat to maintain a comfortable living environment. First and foremost, I believe it is essential to emphasize the importance of having a properly functioning heating system in a rental property. It is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that tenants have access to an adequate and efficient heating system, as stated in our lease agreement. However, I regret to inform you that the current heating resources in my apartment are woefully inadequate. Despite my efforts to adjust the thermostat and keep the heat on, I have noticed that the temperature inside the apartment remains consistently low. The rooms fail to reach a comfortable level, even after running the heating system for extended periods. This situation has caused significant discomfort and inconvenience for me and anyone occupying the premises. Further, exacerbating the situation, I have noticed cold drafts coming in through the windows and doors. This not only contributes to the insufficient heating, but also results in increased energy consumption and subsequently higher energy bills. Such circumstances are unacceptable and pose a risk to my health and well-being during the colder months. I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify this issue. I suggest having a professional technician inspect the heating system thoroughly to determine the cause of its inefficiency. Possible causes might include malfunctioning equipment, blocked air vents, or insufficient insulation. Additionally, it would be beneficial to ensure that all windows and doors throughout the apartment are properly sealed to prevent cold drafts. I urge you to prioritize resolving this matter promptly, as it is your duty as the landlord to provide a habitable living space that includes sufficient heating resources, especially in colder climates such as Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I believe it is in our mutual interest to address this issue promptly to maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship and avoid potential legal ramifications. Please notify me in writing of the specific steps you plan to take to resolve the heating inadequacy within the next five business days. Should you fail to address the issue within this timeframe, I may be forced to seek legal remedies to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and prioritize the necessary repairs and improvements. I appreciate your prompt attention to this urgent matter and eagerly await your response. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Apartment Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Contact Number] [Email Address]
