Renton Washington Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice that premises in uninhabitable in violation of law and demand immediate repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the current state of the premises I am renting at [property address] in Renton, Washington. I regret to inform you that the property is in an uninhabitable condition, which is in violation of the laws and regulations governing rental properties. The primary concerns I wish to address are as follows: 1. Plumbing Issues: There are significant plumbing problems throughout the property. This includes leaky faucets, dysfunctional sinks, and a toilet that frequently overflows. These issues not only affect our daily lives but also pose a health and safety risk. 2. Electrical Hazards: The electrical system in the unit is outdated and dangerous. We have noticed flickering lights, overheating outlets, and occasional power outages. This poses a fire hazard and increases the risk of electrical shock. 3. Structural Integrity: Several areas of the property show signs of deterioration and damage. The walls have noticeable cracks, and the ceiling in the living room has a growing water stain, indicating a potential roof leak. This structural instability raises concerns about the safety of the property. 4. Pest Infestation: Despite our efforts to maintain cleanliness, we have encountered a severe pest infestation. Cockroaches and rodents have infested the kitchen and other areas, compromising our health and overall living conditions. These issues, among others, are making the premises uninhabitable and are clear violations of the Washington State Landlord-Tenant Act. As per the statute, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these concerns and make all necessary repairs within the shortest time frame. I am requesting the following resolutions: 1. Plumbing: A licensed plumber must be employed to thoroughly inspect and repair the entire plumbing system, including fixing leaks, unclogging drains, and ensuring proper water flow. 2. Electrical: A certified electrician should inspect the electrical system, address any potential hazards, replace faulty wiring, and ensure all outlets and circuits are in proper working condition. 3. Structural Repairs: Engage a professional contractor to assess and repair any structural damage, including the cracks in walls and the source of the water stain on the ceiling. 4. Pest Control: A licensed pest control company should be hired to eliminate the infestation. Regular and thorough treatments should be carried out to ensure the complete eradication of pests. I kindly request that you initiate these repairs immediately. Failure to do so within [reasonable timeline, e.g., 14 days] will leave me no choice but to exercise my legal rights and pursue further actions, such as filing a complaint with the appropriate housing authority or seeking legal representation. I hope we can resolve these issues amicably and restore the property to a safe and habitable condition. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and inform me of your intended course of action. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
