Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically failure of the heating system. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that immediate repairs be made. Title: Urgent Notice: Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater — Tenant's Demand for Immediate Remedy Subject: Important Maintenance Request — Heating System Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue regarding the heating system here at [address of rental property]. I regret to inform you that the heater is currently malfunctioning, rendering it unsafe and inadequate as a reliable heat source. Urgent action is required to rectify this situation promptly. As the cold winter months approach, it is essential that the heating system be in optimal condition to ensure the well-being and comfort of all tenants. Unfortunately, the issue I am about to describe poses both potential health hazards and inconvenience to us residents. [Type of Issue 1 — Broken Heater] Firstly, the heater seems to be completely non-functional, emitting no heat whatsoever. This problem has persisted for the past [duration]. Despite all attempts to regulate it through thermostat adjustments or troubleshooting, the heater remains unresponsive. Consequently, the interior temperature has dropped significantly, making our dwelling uncomfortable and unsuitable for habitation during these chilly days. [Type of Issue 2 — Unsafe Heater] Secondly, the safety aspects relating to the heating system have become a major concern. There is a noticeable gas or burning smell emanating from the heater unit, accompanied by strange noises such as hissing or clanking. Such indications are alarming and indicative of potential gas leaks or malfunctioning components. Given the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning or fire hazards, this situation necessitates immediate attention to ensure our safety and prevent any property damage. [Type of Issue 3 — Inadequate Heater] Furthermore, even during periods when the heater does manage to produce heat, it fails to provide sufficient warmth to maintain a comfortable living environment. As a result, tenants are required to use additional portable heaters as a temporary solution, which poses both fire risks and an unnecessary financial burden to us all. We believe that it is your responsibility, as the property owner, to ensure that the heating system is adequately functional to meet the basic requirements of habitability. Considering the severity of the issue and the potential consequences, we kindly request that you take swift action to resolve the problems mentioned above. As a tenant, I have the right to expect a habitable living environment, which includes a properly functioning and safe heating system. In light of the urgency and the legal obligations associated with maintaining rental properties, I would appreciate a prompt response from your side confirming that appropriate measures will be taken to address this matter efficiently. I kindly request that you provide a timeline for repairs to commence, keeping in mind that delaying these repairs further would only exacerbate the inconvenience and potential health risks experienced by all residents. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you share our concern for the well-being and comfort of all tenants and will endeavor to resolve this issue promptly. I look forward to receiving your response and am hopeful that we can rectify the situation without further complications. Yours sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
