Description

This form is used by a tenant to notify the landlord that the leased premises are untenantable and uninhabitable. Through this form, the tenant makes a demand for repair of the premises.

Title: Comprehensive Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Urgent Repair Demand in Elizabeth, New Jersey Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention the grave matter concerning the current state of the premises I reside in at [property address]. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you that multiple violations of the property's habitability and various laws have rendered it uninhabitable. I kindly request your immediate attention and prompt action in rectifying these issues to ensure a safe and livable environment for me and fellow residents. 1. Lack of Adequate Heating or Cooling System: The absence of a functional heating or cooling system has led to unbearable conditions within the premises. Living in an environment with extreme temperatures poses health risks and violates regulations requiring proper temperature control. I urgently request that you install a suitable heating and cooling system within the property. 2. Electrical Safety Hazards: The property's electrical system poses a significant threat to the safety and well-being of all occupants. I have encountered numerous electrical malfunctions, such as flickering lights, sparking outlets, and frequent power outages. These hazardous conditions not only violate local building codes but also endanger the lives of the tenants. I insist that a qualified electrician be hired to inspect and repair the electrical system to ensure compliance with safety standards. 3. Plumbing and Water Supply Issues: The plumbing within the premises is in dire need of repair. Persistent leaks, clogged drains, and irregular water supply seriously impede everyday activities and contribute to unsanitary living conditions. It is crucial that a licensed plumber be dispatched immediately to assess and fix these plumbing problems in order to provide a habitable space for tenants. 4. Structural Integrity Compromised: Several areas within the property exhibit structural damage, including cracked walls, sagging ceilings, and loose floorboards. These defects are not only aesthetically displeasing but also pose safety hazards that can cause injuries to occupants. I request that you engage a reliable contractor or structural engineer to identify the root causes and undertake necessary repairs to restore the structural integrity of the premises. 5. Pest Infestation: The property has become infested with pests, including rodents, insects, and mold growth. These unsanitary conditions are not only distressing but also pose significant health risks to all residents. I demand that professional pest control services be engaged urgently to eradicate these infestations, repair any damage caused, and implement preventive measures to prevent their recurrence. 6. Inadequate Security Measures: The lack of proper security measures compromises the safety of all residents within the property. Absent or malfunctioning locks, broken windows, and inadequate lighting contribute to an environment susceptible to criminal activities. It is essential that appropriate security enhancements, such as secure locks, functional surveillance systems, and well-lit pathways, be promptly installed to ensure the safety of all residents. Conclusion: The aforementioned issues outlined in this letter not only infringe upon local laws and regulations but also violate my rights as a tenant to inhabit a safe, livable dwelling. I kindly request your immediate attention to rectify these matters without delay. Failure to address these concerns within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no choice but to explore further legal actions to ensure compliance and seek appropriate compensation for the inconveniences and risks endured. I anticipate your prompt response and swift action in resolving these critical matters. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Contact Information] (Note: This content is a general guide and should be customized to fit the specific circumstances of the tenant's situation in the Elizabeth, New Jersey area.
