Subject: Urgent Notice of Uninhabitable Premises and Demand for Immediate Repairs Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the current state of the premises I am occupying as a tenant at [Property Address, Cuyahoga, Ohio]. Unfortunately, I must inform you that the condition of the property is in violation of several laws, rendering it unfit for habitation. It is imperative that immediate action is taken to remedy these issues. Firstly, it has come to my attention that there is a severe problem with the property's electrical system. This poses a significant safety hazard, as I have experienced frequent power outages and dangerous electrical surges. This condition is not only threatening the well-being of the residents but also violates the Ohio electrical code regulations. Additionally, the plumbing system in the premises is severely compromised. Our ground-floor unit has been plagued by recurring leaks, resulting in extensive water damage to the walls and flooring. The constant presence of stagnant water not only promotes mold growth but also poses health risks to the occupants. This condition is in direct violation of the Ohio Landlord-Tenant Act, which states that landlords must maintain a habitable living environment. Moreover, the lack of appropriate insulation and HVAC system functionality has made the property uninhabitable, especially during the extreme temperatures experienced in Cuyahoga, Ohio. The absence of adequate insulation and ventilation has resulted in extreme discomfort, posing health risks such as heat stroke or hypothermia. Such conditions are in direct violation of the Ohio Residential Tenancies Act. I would like to remind you that as a landlord in Cuyahoga, Ohio, you are obligated to ensure that the property you rent out meets all the necessary health and safety standards, as well as adheres to local housing regulations. Having given this matter sufficient time to be addressed, I kindly request an immediate resolution to these issues. Failure to address these matters within a reasonable time frame, as mandated by Ohio law, may compel me to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant and secure proper remedies. I trust that you will recognize the urgency of the situation and make the necessary repairs with the utmost urgency. Please acknowledge receipt of this notice by signing and returning the attached acknowledgment form included with this letter. Once repairs have been completed, I kindly request a written assurance that the property now meets all necessary standards of habitability, as required by law. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that we can resolve these issues amicably and in a timely manner, ensuring a safe and habitable living environment for all occupants.
