Re: Request for Rent Discount and Lease Termination

Dear [Property Management Company Name],

I am writing to bring to your attention the ongoing issue with the lack of air conditioning in my unit at [Property Address] in accordance with the renter laws of Austin, Texas. Despite multiple requests for repairs, the air conditioning has not been functioning for several months, resulting in discomfort and inconvenience during the hot weather. As a tenant, I am aware of my rights under the Austin, Texas renter laws and would like to request a fair resolution to this issue.

According to the Austin, Texas Property Code, § 92.052, a landlord has a responsibility to ensure that all equipment and appliances, including air conditioning systems, are in good and safe working order. The prolonged delay in addressing this issue has caused significant discomfort and inconvenience, and I believe it is reasonable to request a rent discount for the past months during which the air conditioning has not been functional, in compliance with the renter laws.

Furthermore, the ongoing repairs have disrupted the peaceful enjoyment of my unit and have caused unnecessary mess and disarray, which is also in violation of my rights as a tenant under the Austin, Texas Property Code, § 92.052. As a result, I am unable to fully utilize and enjoy the premises as per the terms of my lease, and I am considering termination of my lease as a last resort.

Therefore, in accordance with the renter laws of Austin, Texas, I kindly request a rent discount of [amount] for the past months during which the air conditioning has not been functional, as well as termination of my lease on April 30, 2023, with no penalties or fees for early termination. I believe this is a fair resolution considering the inconvenience and discomfort I have experienced as a tenant, and in compliance with the renter laws of Austin, Texas.

I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and a written response within [number of days] confirming the rent discount and lease termination, in accordance with the renter laws. I am hopeful that we can reach a mutually satisfactory resolution to this issue, while upholding my rights as a tenant under the Austin, Texas renter laws.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Sincerely, [Your Name]
