Subject: Urgent Notice to Repair Broken Heater in [Apartment Unit Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a significant issue regarding the heating system in my apartment located at [Apartment Unit Address], Elizabeth, New Jersey. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for your prompt attention to maintenance requests in the past. However, unfortunately, I must inform you that the heating system in my unit has encountered a severe malfunction and is currently inoperable. This situation poses not only an inconvenience but also a potential hazard to my health and safety, especially during the cold winter months. As an obligated tenant, it is my responsibility to ensure that I reside in a safe and habitable environment. Unfortunately, due to the non-functioning heater, the temperature inside my apartment has dropped significantly, making it uncomfortable and potentially detrimental to my well-being. This continuously low temperature is not only uncomfortable but also harmful to my health, particularly as it weakens my immune system and increases the risk of respiratory illnesses. I have personally attempted to remedy the situation by adjusting the thermostat and checking the circuit breaker, presuming it may have been a minor issue. However, these attempts have proven to be unsuccessful, confirming that there is an underlying problem with the heating system itself. Therefore, I kindly request that you promptly arrange for a qualified technician to inspect and repair the heater in my unit immediately. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur, but it is vital to rectify this matter with urgency to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment. Additionally, please consider the potential consequences that may arise from a non-functioning heating system, such as frozen pipes, which could result in extensive damage to the property. I would like to propose an arrangement for the repair to be scheduled within the next 48 hours from the receipt of this letter. This timeframe is crucial to address the issue promptly, considering the deteriorating weather conditions. Should the heater be deemed irreparable, I kindly request you to provide alternate accommodations until the issue is resolved. I trust that you understand the urgency and significance of rectifying this situation promptly. I am confident that your prompt attention to this matter will ensure a mutually beneficial resolution and maintain the well-being of both the property and myself as a tenant. Please confirm in writing, within the next 48 hours, your intention to address this matter and provide a detailed plan of action for the repair or replacement of the heater. Prompt communication will help alleviate any further inconvenience or distress. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
