Content: Subject: Termination of Lease Agreement due to Landlord's breach of duties — Notice of Termination [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to notify you of my intention to terminate the lease agreement for the property located at [Property Address] in Oakland, Michigan, due to your repeated breach of duties as a landlord. As per the terms and conditions outlined in the lease agreement signed on [Lease Start Date], I want to emphasize that it is both the tenant's and the landlord's responsibility to uphold certain duties and obligations. Unfortunately, your persistent failure to fulfill these obligations has caused me significant inconvenience and dissatisfaction as a tenant. To provide a comprehensive account of the specific breaches of duties and the subsequent inconvenience caused, I will outline them below: 1. Failure to Ensure Habitability: The property has repeatedly experienced issues such as leaky plumbing, mold growth, and persistent pest infestations. Despite my numerous requests for repairs and maintenance, these issues have not been adequately addressed, resulting in unsanitary living conditions and health hazards. 2. Delayed Repairs: Several repair requests have been made during the term of the lease, such as broken appliances, faulty electrical wiring, and non-functioning heating or cooling systems. Regrettably, the repairs were either left unattended or addressed with significant delays, causing discomfort and disrupted living conditions. 3. Inadequate Security Measures: The property's security measures, including broken locks, inadequate external lighting, and malfunctioning alarm systems, have not been appropriately addressed. This has created a sense of vulnerability and compromised my safety and peace of mind. 4. Lack of Response and Communication: Despite multiple attempts to communicate these issues to you, there has been a consistent lack of response and an absence of effective communication, leaving me feeling unheard and disregarded as a tenant. Prompt and efficient communication is pivotal in resolving concerns and maintaining a healthy landlord-tenant relationship. Considering the aforementioned breaches of duties and the deteriorating living conditions, I have no choice but to terminate the lease agreement effective [Termination Date, typically 30 days from the date of the notice]. I kindly request you to take immediate steps to address and rectify these grievances within a reasonable timeframe. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that the magnitude and frequency of these breaches warrant an early termination of the lease agreement. Upon receiving this notice, I expect the return of my security deposit, as required by Michigan law, within 30 days of the lease termination, along with any outstanding interest and applicable deductions as determined by law. Please consider this letter as my formal notice of termination and an expression of my intent to vacate the premises on or before the aforementioned termination date. To avoid any misunderstandings or legal implications, I advise you to acknowledge the receipt of this notice by signing and dating a copy of this letter, to be retained by both parties. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I hope we can reach a resolution amicably. Should you require any further information or wish to discuss this matter, kindly contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
