We have today received your letter dated 3rd February, 2006, detailing your inspection of 33666 Huia Road which we believe was carried out on Tuesday 24th January and not the 19th January 2006 as stated in your letter. We feel a ‘Notice of Breach’ is rather harsh when, in this instance, two of the three points you mention are highly subjective and could easily have been resolved with a quick telephone call to us.
The battery was removed from the smoke detector due to its bad positioning. We are sure you are aware as rental agents, that smoke detectors should ideally be in every room other than the kitchen and the bathroom. To fix a smoke detector directly between these two places in a corridor which opens immediately into the kitchen with no door is bad planning. This positioning of the smoke detector will simply mean that it will frequently sound its alarm almost every time the oven, grill or hotplates are used to cook foods which either require the use of added oil or those which have a higher fat content, therefore creating smoke. May we suggest that a good prevention of this would be to install smoke detectors in the two bedrooms off the corridor and the corner farthest from the kitchen in the living area? This would then ensure that we and the property are indeed correctly protected in the case of fire, which is as much of a worry to us as to our Landlords.
Whilst we welcome your inspection on Thursday 23rd February 2006 at 10.30 am, it is unlikely that anyone will be present that morning and so you are free to let yourself into the property. Trusting everything will be found to your satisfaction upon your second inspection.
What do you think? We sent that yesterday. At first I got all waffley with details such as those blogged yesterday but then I took it all out and just left the important bit in. We shall wait and see.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss the fun
of getting there.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the music is over, take your time and stay happy...
