[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Unsatisfactory Living Conditions at [Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing to address the rampant unsatisfactory living conditions that have persisted at the [Property Address], which I am currently renting from you. Despite numerous verbal complaints and discussions regarding these issues, it has become evident that no significant actions have been taken to rectify the situation. First and foremost, the state of the plumbing system in the building is deplorable. The water pressure is constantly fluctuating, resulting in inadequate showers and difficulty in cleaning dishes effectively. Moreover, the pipes emit a foul smell, indicating an underlying issue that requires immediate attention from a professional plumber. Additionally, the overall cleanliness of the premises is far from satisfactory. The communal areas, including the entrance hall, stairwell, and laundry room, consistently reek of mildew and are strewn with garbage and debris. This neglect of basic maintenance not only compromises our quality of living but also poses health risks for residents. Furthermore, the infestation of pests within the building is reaching intolerable levels. Cockroaches, mice, and bedbugs have become a daily nuisance, invading our living spaces and compromising our comfort and personal hygiene. These pests pose health hazards and are clear indicators of unsanitary conditions that urgently demand your attention. The rental property's electrical system is in dire need of inspection and repairs. Constant power outages and flickering lights have become a regular occurrence, which is not only inconvenient but also poses risks of electrical fires or accidents. In addition to these specific issues, we have observed a significant lack of regular maintenance and prompt responses to repair requests. Instances when repairs were attempted were often inadequate or half-hearted, often resulting in recurring problems or incomplete fixes. It is crucial that you acknowledge and rectify these issues, as they directly impinge on the livability and safety of this property. According to the [Los Angeles] Tenant/Landlord Regulations, landlords are legally obligated to provide and maintain a habitable and safe living environment for their tenants. Failure to meet these obligations may result in legal consequences, including rent reductions, termination of the lease agreement, or possible legal action to recover damages. I hereby request that immediate action be taken to address the aforementioned concerns within the next [reasonable time frame, e.g., seven days]. I kindly request that you provide a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., five business days] to confirm the actions you intend to take to rectify the mentioned issues. If these concerns are not adequately addressed, I will have no choice but to pursue further action, which may include seeking legal advice and involving the appropriate authorities to ensure compliance with the law. I trust that you understand the severity and urgency of the issues at hand and will act promptly to resolve them. If you require any additional information or would like to discuss this matter in person, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above contact information. I look forward to your immediate attention and a substantial improvement in the living conditions at the [Property Address]. Sincerely, [Your Name]
