This is a demand letter from Tenant to Landlord demanding that leased conditions be repaired or remedied within ten days and made compliant with building codes. The condition of the leased premises are currently unsafe and/or unhealthy. Subject: Urgent Notice — Demand for Remedy: Failure to Comply with Beaumont Texas Building Codes Affecting Health and Safety Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a matter of utmost concern regarding the condition of the property I am currently leasing from you, located at [Property Address]. Unfortunately, it has come to my knowledge that certain building code violations have persisted, which pose significant risks to my health, safety, and render the premises untenantable. I am left with no choice but to demand immediate resolution of these issues. Beaumont Texas, as with any city, has strict building codes in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both tenants and property owners. It is the landlord's inherent responsibility to adhere to these regulations and promptly address any violations that may arise. This correspondence serves as an official notification highlighting several critical areas where compliance has been compromised, making the property inhospitable and potentially hazardous. Below, I outline the specific building code violations affecting health and safety or resulting in an untenantable condition: 1. Inadequate Electrical Wiring: — Faulty wiring or insufficient electrical outlets in multiple rooms. — Frequent power outages, indicating an unsafe electrical system. — Unaddressed electrical sparking, posing a fire hazard. 2. Plumbing Issues: — Persistent leaks, leading to water damage and mold growth. — Inadequate water pressure, causing inconvenience and hygiene concerns. — Non-functioning or malfunctioning bathroom fixtures. 3. Structural Integrity: — Cracks in walls, floors, or ceilings, indicating potential structural instability. — Loose or rotting floorboards and staircases, posing tripping hazards. — Inaccessible emergency exits due to obstructions or faulty hardware. 4. Pest Infestation: — Evidence of widespread vermin or insect infestation, compromising hygiene. — Insufficient pest control measures taken by the landlord. The aforementioned building code violations gravely impact my ability to enjoy a safe and habitable living environment as stipulated by law. Their presence compromises my health, safety, and overall wellbeing, breaching my rights as a tenant under the Beaumont Texas rental legislation. In light of these serious concerns, I demand that you take immediate action to rectify these issues and bring the property back to a livable and code-compliant standard within [a reasonable timeline, e.g., 14 days]. I kindly request you to undertake the necessary repairs, upgrades, or hire licensed professionals to address the unsafe conditions promptly. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me with no alternative but to explore legal remedies available to me under Beaumont Texas tenant protection laws, which may include seeking compensation for any damages, discontinuing rent payments, or even pursuing a breach of contract claim. I anticipate your prompt attention to this matter and a timely resolution to ensure a safe and habitable living environment. Should you require any further information or wish to discuss this matter in detail, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your contact information].
