Description

This form is a letter to provide the Landlord with legal notice of the fact that there is insufficient heat in the leased premises. Tenant is requesting that the Landlord remedy this situation by the addition or repair of heating units. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the inadequate heating resources in my apartment at [Apartment Address] in the Bronx, New York. Despite winter, the heating system fails to provide sufficient heat, thereby creating an uncomfortable living environment for me and my family. As a tenant, I understand that it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure the provision of proper heating facilities that comply with the guidelines set forth by the New York City housing regulations. However, it has been quite evident that the current heating resources are not meeting our needs, leaving us exposed to chilly temperatures unnecessarily. The insufficiency of heat in our apartment has resulted in several discomforts. Firstly, we have noticed a significant drop in the overall indoor temperature. Despite keeping the thermostat at a reasonable level, the rooms remain cold, making it difficult to carry out daily activities or even get a good night's sleep. Moreover, the lack of warmth creates additional problems like condensation on Windows, which can lead to moisture-related damage or mold growth if not addressed promptly. I have taken some measures to mitigate the situation, such as using portable electric heaters, which come at an additional cost. However, relying solely on electric heaters is neither a long-term nor cost-efficient solution, especially considering the high energy bills associated with their operation. It is crucial that the central heating system is repaired or upgraded to provide sufficient warmth throughout the apartment. I kindly request that you promptly address this issue and take appropriate measures to rectify the heating inadequacy. I suggest arranging for a professional inspection of the heating system to identify any underlying problems and recommend necessary repairs or replacements. Additionally, ensuring proper insulation in the apartment may also contribute to improving its energy efficiency and ultimately our comfort during the cold winter months. Please understand that my purpose in communicating this matter to you is to seek a resolution that benefits both parties — maintaining a comfortable living environment while complying with the mandated housing regulations. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable time frame] outlining the steps you will take to resolve this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will address this concern promptly and prioritize the quality of living conditions for your tenants. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Contact Information]
