[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 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 renting from you at [Rental Property Address], Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. I regret to inform you that the condition of the property is in clear violation of local housing laws, rendering the premises uninhabitable and unsafe for occupancy. In accordance with Section [relevant section number or specific law citation] of the [Broken Arrow Municipal Code/ Oklahoma Landlord Tenant Act/ applicable law], it is the landlord's responsibility to provide tenants with a habitable living environment free from any hazards or defects. Unfortunately, the following deficiencies exist in the property: 1. Plumbing Issues: The bathroom pipes are consistently clogged, resulting in frequent backups and causing an unpleasant odor. Additionally, the water pressure in the kitchen sink is extremely low, making it difficult to perform basic tasks such as dishwashing. 2. Electrical Hazards: Many electrical outlets throughout the property are damaged or do not work at all. This poses a significant safety risk as it could potentially lead to electrical shocks or fire hazards. 3. Heating System Malfunction: The central heating system has been malfunctioning for the past month. Despite repeated attempts to adjust the thermostat and consult with professionals, the temperature inside the property remains excessively cold, making it impossible to maintain a comfortable living environment. 4. Pest Infestation: There is clear evidence of a pest infestation, primarily rodents, throughout the property. This poses health risks to occupants and compromises the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the premises. These issues significantly affect my ability to enjoy the property and meet my basic living requirements. Considering the gravity of these violations, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these concerns. I ask that all repairs and necessary improvements be completed within a reasonable timeframe of [specify a specific timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to ensure my safety and well-being as a tenant. Should you fail to address these concerns promptly, I may have no choice but to resort to legal action or seek remedies provided under applicable laws.

I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [specified timeframe, e.g., 3 business days] and provide a written response detailing your proposed course of action to remedy these violations. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I appreciate your prompt action in resolving these issues and ensuring the habitability of the property as required by law. Sincerely, [Your Name]
