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. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Broken, Unsafe, or Inadequate Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally notify you of a significant issue concerning the heater in my rented premises located at [Your Address], Suffolk, New York. The purpose of this letter is to highlight the urgent need for the immediate repair or replacement of the heater due to its current broken, unsafe, or inadequate condition. Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for your attention to maintenance matters in the past. However, the current state of the heater has become a matter of great concern, especially given the approaching winter months. I have noticed the following problems with the heater: 1. Ineffectiveness: Despite setting the thermostat to higher temperatures, the heater fails to adequately warm the premises. This has resulted in an uncomfortable and frigid environment, which infringes upon my right to enjoy a habitable residence. 2. Unusual Noises: The heater emits loud, disturbing noises that suggest a mechanical malfunction. This not only disturbs my peace but also amplifies concerns about the safety of the appliance. 3. Frequent Shutdowns: Over the past few weeks, the heater has been repeatedly shutting down unexpectedly. This leaves me without any means of heating, further exacerbating the discomfort and posing potential health hazards during colder periods. In accordance with the laws governing tenant-landlord relationships in Suffolk, New York, specifically [cite relevant laws or ordinances if applicable], it is the landlord's responsibility to provide tenants with a habitable dwelling, which includes functioning heating systems. The currently broken, unsafe, and inadequate condition of the heater undoubtedly violates this legal requirement. Given the urgency of the situation, I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy the issues with the heater. I propose the following steps: 1. Arrange for a professional inspection of the heater to accurately assess the cause and extent of the problems. 2. Undertake necessary repairs or, if deemed appropriate by the professional, consider replacing the heater with a functional and reliable unit. 3. Ensure that all repairs and replacements are completed by a licensed and experienced technician to guarantee long-term effectiveness and safety. I kindly ask for your prompt response within [state a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 48 hours] to confirm your commitment to addressing this critical matter. Failure to address the issue in a timely manner may result in more severe consequences, such as seeking legal remedies, reporting the issue to relevant authorities, or withholding rent payments until the matter is resolved. I trust that you understand the urgency of this situation and will take immediate action to restore the heating system to a safe and functional state. Please consider this letter as an official notice of the heater's condition and my demand for a swift resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
