I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the current living conditions at my rented property located in Contra Costa, California.

It is crucial to address this issue promptly to ensure the safety of all residents. 3.

This compromises the overall cleanliness and livability of the property. 4. Broken Heating/Cooling System: The heating and cooling system has been malfunctioning for months, rendering it impossible to maintain a comfortable temperature in the apartment throughout the year. 5. Insufficient Plumbing: The plumbing system consistently exhibits problems such as slow drainage, clogged pipes, and unreliable water supply. This disrupts daily activities and creates additional inconvenience. I kindly request immediate action to rectify these issues, as living in such conditions not only compromises my rights as a tenant but also poses health and safety risks.

If the required repairs and maintenance are not undertaken within the allocated timeframe, I may have no choice but to seek legal assistance, involving relevant housing authorities or pursuing legal action to ensure my rights are protected and the living conditions are improved. I firmly believe that we can find a prompt resolution to these problems and maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Your cooperation and prompt attention to this matter are highly appreciated. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and inform me of the proposed plan of action at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
