Title: Abilene Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Notice of Broken Heater, Unsafe or Inadequate Condition, and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing matter regarding the heating system in my rental unit located at [Address]. I regret to inform you that the heater appears to be broken, and its current condition poses a significant safety concern. Therefore, I kindly request your immediate attention and action to rectify this issue as it directly affects my wellbeing and violates my rights as a tenant. First and foremost, I want to emphasize that the current state of the heater is wholly inadequate for providing sufficient heat, particularly with the dropping temperatures in Abilene, Texas. Despite my efforts to adjust and maintain the heater, it consistently fails to generate adequate warmth, leaving the premises uncomfortably cold. However, the inadequacy of the heating system is not the only problem. I have also noticed several signs that suggest the heater may be in a broken or malfunctioning state. These symptoms include irregular noises emitted by the heater, inconsistent heating levels throughout the property, and the persistence of cold spots despite adjusting the thermostat appropriately. Additionally, I have observed an unpleasant odor emanating from the heater, which raises concerns for my health and safety. I must stress that the current state of the heater not only compromises my comfort but also poses potential health and safety hazards. The lack of adequate heating increases the likelihood of health issues such as cold-related illnesses, respiratory problems, and the formation of mold or mildew due to excessive humidity caused by the insufficient warmth. Furthermore, with the malfunctioning of the heater, the risk of fire hazards or carbon monoxide leaks amplifies. These conditions are direct violations of my right to a safe, habitable dwelling, as outlined in the lease agreement and local housing regulations. In light of the urgency and severity of this issue, I demand an immediate remedy. I kindly request that you promptly arrange for a qualified professional to inspect and repair the heater to ensure it operates efficiently and meets the applicable safety standards. This proactive approach will safeguard my well-being as a tenant and fulfill your obligation as a responsible landlord. If the necessary repairs cannot be completed within a reasonable timeframe, in accordance with the lease agreement, I hereby express my rights to request temporary accommodation until the heating system is fully functional and safe. As provided by the law, should a satisfactory resolution not be reached in a timely manner, I may also seek legal remedies to address this matter. I trust that you will give this matter the attention it deserves. Please feel free to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address] to discuss the proposed course of action further. I eagerly anticipate your prompt response and a swift resolution to this pressing concern. Thank you for your immediate attention.
