As per my rights under the laws of Allentown, Pennsylvania, I regretfully notify you that the present state of the premises is uninhabitable, violating both the law and the terms of our rental agreement. Sadly, multiple serious issues affecting the quality of life within the property have persisted without any action taken on your part. The following conditions exist, which make it impossible to reside here in a safe and comfortable manner: 1. Water Damage and Mold: The property experiences chronic leaks, resulting in severe water damage and the growth of mold in several areas, including [specific locations]. This poses a significant health hazard and violates some health and safety codes. 2. Electrical Hazards: There are numerous electrical problems throughout the premises. Faulty wiring, exposed wires, and insufficient grounding create hazardous situations, putting me at risk of electrical shock or fire. 3. Plumbing Deficiencies: The plumbing system is in disrepair, resulting in recurring leaks, clogged drains, and foul odors. These issues greatly impede my ability to maintain proper hygiene and use the facilities without inconvenience. 4. Pest Infestation: The presence of pests such as rodents, insects, or bedbugs has become increasingly prevalent. Despite multiple complaints, no effective measures have been taken to mitigate this infestation, causing distress and compromising my health. 5. Heating and Cooling Systems: The HVAC system in the property is malfunctioning, leaving me without adequate heating during winter and cooling during summer, making the unit uninhabitable during extreme weather conditions. I have been patient with these ongoing circumstances, providing sufficient time for you to address these concerns.
