[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Demand for Repairs to [Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to several urgent repairs that need to be addressed concerning the rental property located at [Property Address] in Sacramento, California. Despite previous verbal requests, these issues have not been resolved, endangering my well-being and violating my rights as a tenant. I request immediate action to rectify the following problems: 1. Plumbing: The plumbing system in the rental unit is severely malfunctioning. There are leaking pipes, which have resulted in the growth of mold and mildew in various parts of the property. This poses a serious health hazard as it can lead to respiratory issues and aggravate existing conditions. It is crucial that a professional plumber be contacted swiftly to repair the damaged pipes and eliminate the mold. 2. Electrical: The electrical system in the rental unit is faulty and poses significant safety risks. Outlets and switches do not function properly, frequently causing electrical shocks. In addition, some rooms lack proper lighting fixtures, creating an environment prone to accidents and discomfort. An electrician should be hired promptly to address these hazards and ensure the property's electrical components are up to code. 3. Heating and Cooling: The HVAC system in the rental unit is non-operational, making living conditions unbearable during extreme temperatures. This is a violation of California's implied warranty of habitability, as tenants have the right to reasonable climate control. It is essential to have the heating and cooling system inspected and repaired promptly, enabling me to maintain a comfortable living environment. 4. Pest Infestation: The property has been affected by a severe pest infestation, particularly with rodents and insects. These pests pose a threat to my health and safety, as they can transmit diseases and cause damage to personal belongings. I request immediate attention to address this issue by arranging for professional pest control services to inspect, treat, and eradicate the infestation thoroughly. Failure to address these repair concerns adequately will result in my exercising my rights as a tenant under California law, including but not limited to withholding rent, exercising repair and deduct options, seeking legal remedies, and potentially terminating the lease agreement. I kindly request that you provide a written response outlining your plan for addressing these repair issues within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] of receiving this letter. If you fail to respond or take the necessary actions within the specified timeframe, I will have no choice but to pursue all available legal options to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will act responsibly and in compliance with the law. I look forward to receiving your written response. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Sincerely, [Your Name]
