John Smith 1234 E Park St. Happydale, WI 48625 (810) 555-0198 July 3, 2013 Dear Mr. Forsythe, I am writing this letter to notify you that I intend to break my lease. Under the “Utilities and Hot Water” section of my lease, it states that “Landlord is not liable for claims arising from utility service outages, interruptions, or fluctuations in utilities provided to Resident's Apartment not reasonably within Landlord's control.” Over the past two months, my apartment has not had a working refrigerator. I have put in maintenance requests on multiple occasions and can provide copies of recent requests, if needed. A working refrigerator is necessary under the terms of my lease and is, furthermore, reasonably within your control. Therefore, I am writing this letter to declare my intent to break the lease. If you have any further questions you may contact me by phone at the number listed in my contact information, above. Thank you, John Smith
