Subject: Urgent Matter — Tenant's Formal Notice of Landlord's Failure to Address Maintenance Issues Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter in utmost frustration and concern regarding the persistent lack of attention given to the maintenance issues that have been plaguing my residential premises at [Property Address] in Nashville, Tennessee. Despite multiple verbal requests and discussions on the matter, the necessary repairs have not been appropriately addressed, compromising my living conditions, safety, and ultimately breaching our rental agreement. Since moving in on [Move-in Date], I have encountered the following ongoing issues with no resolution approached by your end: 1. Plumbing Problems: — Persistent leaks in the bathroom causing water damage and mold formation. — Slow drainage in the kitchen sink causing unpleasant odors within the dwelling. 2. Electrical Malfunctions: — Frequent power outages and short circuits throughout the property. — Non-functional electrical outlets posing a safety hazard. 3. Heating and Cooling System: — Inadequate insulation leading to inconsistent temperature control within the property. — Faulty HVAC units resulting in uncomfortable living conditions, especially during extreme weather conditions. 4. Structural Integrity: — Cracked walls and deteriorated ceiling requiring immediate attention to prevent further damage. — Broken windows compromising security and energy efficiency. These persistent and unresolved maintenance issues create significant inconvenience, discomfort, and potential health hazards that negatively impact my quality of life as a tenant. As a result, I kindly request your immediate attention and prompt action to rectify these matters within [reasonable timeframe] to ensure a habitable living environment. According to Section [cite appropriate section] of the Tennessee Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, landlords are required to maintain the premises in good repair and comply with all local housing codes affecting health and safety. Failure to fulfill these obligations may result in serious legal consequences. To alleviate this matter amicably, I propose the following course of action: 1. Perform a comprehensive inspection of the property to identify and document all necessary repairs. 2. Outline a detailed plan and timeline to address each issue promptly, ensuring their completion within a reasonable period. 3. Notify me promptly about any scheduled repairs, providing reasonable notice before entering the property. 4. Consider rental adjustments for the duration of any repairs that significantly impact my ability to use and enjoy the premises. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [reasonable timeframe] and provide a written response outlining your proposed plan of action to address these long-overdue repairs. Failure to respond or rectify the aforementioned maintenance issues may leave me no choice but to seek legal actions to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. Rest assured, I value the tenancy agreement we have, and I firmly believe that resolving these maintenance concerns will support a healthy landlord-tenant relationship moving forward. I urge you to take immediate action and rectify these matters to avoid further escalation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I anticipate a swift resolution, ensuring the restoration of my living conditions to a satisfactory standard.
