Property Management Company,
In accordance with New Mexico State Landlord Tenant Law, I am withholding one third of this month's rent until such time as repairs are made. I am doing this based on consultation with the Landlord Tenant Hotline.
I was only required to give seven days for compliance. I gave a month.
Inclosed, please find a check in the amount of $285. This includes the withholding of $140.00 for noncompliance.
I will pay the remainder of the rent when the items below are completed.
Thank you,

1) I still have no heater.
2) I still have no air conditioner.
3) Electrical problems persist.
4) Raoul Nieto's "friend," Joe (who formerly rented apt. D here) unplugged electric cords I'd placed while power was out. He doesn't pay my rent; he doesn't even LIVE here!
My refrigerator was warm when I returned from church; my internet (one source of my income) was messed up; my VCR was broken from it.
5) Raoul Nieto DELIBERATELY cranked up his music while I was sitting in my yard, occupied with a long distance business call. I went out there because I couldn't find an ashtray within reach of my phone.
My business contact commented on the noise, thinking it was my fault. Of course, Raoul turned it back down the minute he couldn't hear me anymore, so there was no way or point to call police.
6) I've waited 7 months for a banister on the front steps.
7) The woman in Apt. C stands directly outside my kitchen window, SCREAMING "turn the music down!" to Raoul: her only "joke," a way to harrass and belittle me.
This is my notice of noncompliance.
I need these repairs. I will withhold next month's rent if they aren't completed soon.
I will be telephoned or contacted by US Postal Service to make appointments for these repairs.
I have multiple sclerosis; I can't tolerate extremes of heat or cold.
And I'm tired of people in this building discriminating against me for my disabilities!
