[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Urgent Plumbing Repair Needed at [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant plumbing issue at the property I am renting from you. I believe immediate attention and necessary repairs are required to resolve this problem effectively. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for providing me with such a comfortable dwelling. However, I have recently encountered a series of plumbing-related issues that have been increasing in severity and causing significant inconvenience and discomfort. As a responsible tenant, I promptly reported these concerns to your representative on [date], who informed me that they would be addressed promptly. However, despite the passage of [number of days/weeks], no action has been taken to rectify the problem. The plumbing issues I am experiencing include: 1. Non-functioning Toilet: The toilet in the main bathroom is not flushing properly. Although I have attempted to resolve the issue using basic troubleshooting methods, it seems that there is a more complex problem that requires professional attention. This malfunctioning toilet poses a considerable inconvenience and hygiene hazard. 2. Clogged Sink: The sink in the kitchen has been persistently clogged, rendering it almost unusable. Despite my efforts to address the issue using common remedies, the problem remains unresolved. This impediment significantly hinders routine kitchen activities and basic hygiene practices. 3. Leaking Faucet: The bathroom faucet has been leaking incessantly for quite some time. This waste of water not only impacts the environment but also creates an unpleasant noise within the living space. Additionally, it has resulted in increased water bills, which I believe should be compensated due to the delay in repairs. As per the terms of our rental agreement and the Alaska Landlord and Tenant Act, I kindly request that you arrange for immediate repairs to these plumbing issues within [reasonable timeframe] to ensure the habitability and proper functioning of the rental property. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, but the continued delay in addressing these issues is causing me undue stress and inconvenience. If these repairs are not promptly carried out, I will have no option but to seek remedies available to me under the law, such as withholding rent, hiring a professional plumber to fix the problems and deducting the cost from my rent, or ultimately, terminating the lease agreement. I trust that you will respond promptly to this matter and take the necessary actions to rectify the plumbing issues. Your cooperation in promptly addressing these concerns will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution.
