[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 Termination for Landlord's Noncompliance with Possibility to Cure Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about a serious matter pertaining to our rental agreement. Despite my previous attempts to address the issue in person, I find it necessary to provide you with a formal written notice regarding your noncompliance as a landlord, as per our lease agreement and the laws governing tenant-landlord relationships in Queens, New York. First and foremost, I want to reiterate my commitment to maintaining a positive and respectful landlord-tenant relationship. However, the persistent disregard for various crucial obligations outlined in our lease agreement has led me to take this necessary step. As a tenant, I have the right to expect certain standards and responsibilities from my landlord. Specifically, the following areas of noncompliance have caused significant inconvenience and disruption to my peaceful enjoyment of the rental property: 1. Failure to Address Repairs and Maintenance: Despite numerous verbal requests and written notices, there have been delays or complete lack of response to essential repairs within the property. These include, but are not limited to, plumbing issues, electrical malfunctions, and structural deficiencies. Such negligence not only devalues the property but also poses potential health and safety risks. 2. Breach of Health and Safety Codes: The property's condition has recently deteriorated to the point where it no longer complies with Queens, New York health and safety codes. Examples of this noncompliance include mold growth, improper waste disposal, and lack of adequate heating during winter months, consequently compromising my health and well-being. 3. Violation of Lease Agreement Terms: The landlord's recent actions have violated specific clauses and agreements outlined in our lease. These include, but are not limited to, unauthorized entry into the premises without prior notice, failure to provide timely and accurate billing statements, and repeated disturbances caused by unauthorized individuals on the property. Having carefully documented these ongoing issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these noncompliance matters within [reasonable timeframe] from the date of this letter. This possibility to cure gives you an opportunity to address these issues promptly as required by law and our lease agreement. Doing so will allow us to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship and avoid any further legal action. However, failure to correct these issues within the given timeframe or a repetition of similar noncompliance in the future will leave me with no alternative but to exercise my rights as a tenant under the laws of Queens, New York. This may include pursuing legal remedies, withholding rent, or seeking monetary compensation for damages incurred as a result of your negligence. I genuinely hope that it doesn't come to that, and we can find a satisfactory resolution to these matters. I kindly request that you respond to this letter in writing within [reasonable timeframe] to confirm your intentions and proposed timeline for addressing these concerns. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving these issues amicably and maintaining a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. Sincerely, [Your Name]
