Subject: Urgent Notice to Cease Retaliatory Decrease in Services — Fargo, North Dakota Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning situation regarding the recent decrease in certain essential services at the rental property located at [property address] in Fargo, North Dakota. I consider this reduction in services as retaliatory action on your part, and I kindly request that you rectify this matter promptly. As a tenant, I have been residing at the aforementioned property for [duration of stay], and during that time, I have consistently paid my rent on time and fulfilled all responsibilities outlined in our lease agreement. However, I have recently noticed a significant decrease in essential services that are becoming unreasonably inconvenient, detrimental to my peaceful enjoyment of the premises, and even potential violations of my legal rights as a tenant. Since we must ensure clear communication and a mutual understanding of the situation, I would like to highlight the specific issues and outline the measures I believe necessary to rectify the situation. 1. Decrease in Maintenance Services: Over the past few months, it has become evident that the frequency and responsiveness of maintenance requests have significantly declined. This decline has led to prolonged periods of unresolved issues, such as leaky faucets, malfunctioning appliances, and inadequate heating/cooling system. This decrease in maintenance services is unacceptable, as it affects the habitability and overall quality of life at the property. 2. Insufficient Building Security: Equally alarming is the recent decrease in building security. It has come to my attention that there have been frequent instances of unauthorized access, broken entry systems, and malfunctioning security cameras, posing a severe risk to my personal safety and the safety of the property. It is imperative that these security concerns are addressed promptly to ensure an environment free from potential harm. 3. Disruption in Essential Services: The sudden unavailability of essential services, including electricity, water, or heat, or any unauthorized interruption in these services, creates significant hardship and discomfort for tenants. These disruptions not only infringe upon our rights as tenants but also jeopardize our health, safety, and well-being. Thus, I request immediate rectification of any such disruptions and the establishment of a system to promptly address future occurrences. I believe it is essential for us to work toward an amicable resolution to these issues. I kindly request that you cease any retaliatory actions causing a decrease in services and address the aforementioned concerns within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 days]. Failure to take appropriate action within a reasonable timeframe may require me to pursue further legal remedies available to protect my rights as a tenant under North Dakota state law. I strongly urge you to uphold your responsibilities as a landlord by ensuring the provision of adequate and timely services, thereby maintaining a safe and habitable environment for all residents. By addressing these concerns promptly, we can avoid unnecessary conflicts and continue to foster a positive tenant-landlord relationship. I would appreciate receiving a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] to confirm your acknowledgment and action plan to resolve these issues. It is my aim to settle these matters amicably and avoid any escalation that might involve external parties. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I remain hopeful that we can work together to resolve these concerns and maintain a harmonious tenancy.
