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. If repairs are not made by the landlord, the tenant may have the right to terminate the lease or abate rent. Subject: Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repairs — [Tenant's Name], [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about the current state of the premises I am renting, located at [Rental Property Address], in Las Vegas, Nevada. It has come to my attention that the property is currently uninhabitable due to various violations of local and state laws concerning habitability standards. Firstly, it has become apparent that the property fails to meet the minimum safety standards required by law. The electrical system is faulty with exposed wires, which poses a significant risk of fire hazards. Additionally, the smoke detectors present in the property are non-functional, potentially endangering the lives of all occupants in the event of a fire emergency. Furthermore, the property's plumbing system is in a deteriorated state. The pipes frequently leak, leading to water damage and mold growth in several areas of the premises. Mold poses severe health risks, including respiratory problems and allergies, which is exacerbated by the poor ventilation throughout the property. Moreover, the heating and cooling system in the unit is unreliable and inefficient, resulting in uncomfortable living conditions, especially during extreme weather conditions. The HVAC system requires immediate repairs or replacement to ensure proper heating and cooling, adhering to standards set forth by Nevada's laws and regulations. Additionally, I would like to bring your attention to the presence of pests within the premises. Cockroaches, rodents, and other pests have infested the property, causing significant inconvenience and potential health hazards. It is imperative to address this issue promptly to maintain a habitable living environment. Under Nevada law, landlords are obligated to provide tenants with a habitable dwelling. As the current condition of the rental property breaches these obligations, I am hereby demanding immediate repairs to rectify the aforementioned issues. I kindly request that you or your authorized representatives undertake the necessary repairs within [reasonable timeframe, usually 14-30 days] as required by law. If adequate repairs are not initiated within the specified timeframe, I will have no choice but to exercise my rights under Nevada law, which may include withholding rent, filing a complaint with local authorities, or pursuing legal action to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. I believe that your prompt attention to this matter will not only restore the habitability of the property but also prevent any further deterioration or potential legal disputes. I kindly request written confirmation of receipt for this notice and a detailed plan of action for the immediate repairs. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to a swift resolution that will allow me to continue residing in a safe and habitable environment. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
