Title: Provo, Utah Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Broken Heater and Demand for Immediate Remedy Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and happiness. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious concern regarding the heating system within the [apartment/house] I am renting at [address]. It has come to my attention that the heater in the property is broken, unsafe, and inadequate, leading to potential discomfort, inconvenience, and even health hazards during the colder months. Firstly, I want to emphasize that my intention is to maintain a positive relationship between us as tenant and landlord. I bring this matter to your attention, not in a confrontational manner, but as a request for immediate action in resolving this critical issue. In detail, the issues with the heating system are as follows: 1. Broken Heater: Upon switching on the heater, it fails to generate any heat, leaving the entire premises cold and uncomfortable. This is not only alarming but also violates our rental agreement, which includes the provision of a functional heating system. 2. Unsafe Conditions: It has been brought to my attention by a certified technician that the current condition of the heater poses potential hazards to both the property and its occupants. The outdated equipment and malfunctioning parts, as identified, could potentially lead to fire hazards, gas leaks, or carbon monoxide-related incidents. This presents a significant threat to my safety, the safety of my loved ones, and the safety of neighboring units. 3. Inadequate Heating: Even when the heater is partially functional, it fails to adequately warm the property. This results in significant discomfort and increased energy consumption as I have been forced to solely rely on electric heaters as a temporary solution. This undue burden should not fall on the tenant's shoulders. Considering the urgency of the matter, I kindly request your immediate attention to rectify the situation. I trust that, as a conscientious and responsible landlord, you will prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of your tenants. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request the following actions be taken: 1. Immediate repair of the existing heating system by a certified and reliable HVAC repair professional. 2. A thorough examination and testing of the repaired system to ensure its complete functionality and compliance with safety standards. 3. Provision of suitable temporary heating arrangements until the repairs are finalized. I am confident that, as the landlord, you will act promptly to safeguard the well-being and comfort of your tenants. Failure to address this matter within a reasonable timeframe may leave me with no option but to explore legal avenues and seek alternative remedies for this violation of our lease agreement. I kindly request a written acknowledgement of this letter and notification of the proposed actions and timelines for resolving this issue. In the spirit of maintaining a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship, I trust we can promptly put this matter to rest. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter. I anticipate a swift resolution that will allow me to continue enjoying my tenancy in comfort.
