I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue with the heating system in my rented premises, located at [Rental Property Address]. After thorough inspection, it has become evident that the current heating system is broken/unsafe/inadequate, posing various risks to my health, safety, and overall well-being. Firstly, the heating system exhibits clear signs of malfunctioning as it fails to generate sufficient heat to adequately warm the premises. Despite adjusting the thermostat and following the recommended usage guidelines, the indoor temperature remains consistently low, resulting in an uncomfortable living environment during the colder months. Furthermore, the current state of the heating system raises serious concerns regarding safety hazards. Escaping cold drafts and improperly functioning components pose a potential threat, increasing the risk of hypothermia, respiratory illnesses, and other health-related issues, particularly to vulnerable individuals such as children, elderly residents, and those with compromised immune systems. I consider this situation to be an urgent matter, demanding immediate attention and resolution. In light of these circumstances, I kindly request you to promptly address the following demands: 1. Conduct an immediate inspection and assessment of the heating system by a certified and licensed HVAC professional to identify the exact cause of the malfunction and to determine the necessary repairs or replacements. 2. Undertake all necessary actions required to rectify the heating system by engaging qualified technicians with expertise in heating systems repairs, ensuring that the repairs are thorough, effective, and adhere to all applicable building and safety codes. 3. Provide a written schedule outlining the specific dates and times for the repairs and replacements, so that I can make myself available whenever necessary. 4. Offer temporary alternative heating solutions or accommodations, if feasible, until the heating system is fully functional to alleviate the discomfort and protect my health during this period. I believe it is both your responsibility as a landlord and within your best interest to address this issue promptly, as failure to provide a safe and habitable living environment may result in further damage to the property, potential legal implications, and strained tenant-landlord relations. Please consider this letter as formal notice of the defective heating system and my demand for immediate action to remedy the situation. If I do not receive a prompt response within [reasonable timeframe], I may be forced to pursue other legal avenues available to me to ensure the provision of a habitable and safe dwelling as outlined by the state's landlord-tenant laws. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [reasonable timeframe]. Please provide your response in writing, whether by email or mail, to ensure that there is a documented communication trail regarding this matter. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your immediate action to resolve the issue and restore a satisfactory living situation in a timely manner.
