I am writing to bring to your urgent attention a significant issue that has recently arisen in the premises I am renting from you, located at [Rental Address] in Little Rock, Arkansas. There is a pervasive leak problem whenever it rains, which demands immediate attention and repair. Firstly, let me assure you that I have taken all necessary steps to document and observe this problem accurately. Over the past few weeks, every time it has rained, I have noticed an increasing amount of water seeping through the ceilings, specifically in the following areas of the property: 1. Living Room 2. Bedroom 3. Bathroom These leaks have resulted in water stains on the ceilings and walls, which are now developing signs of mildew. This situation is not only causing aesthetic damage but also poses a severe risk to my personal property, health, and overall well-being. I am concerned about the potential for mold growth, which could lead to serious health issues if left unaddressed. Considering the urgency of this matter, I kindly request that you take immediate steps to remedy this problem without any further delay. Given the severity of the leaks, the repairs should be carried out by a licensed and professional contractor within the next 14 days. It is crucial for the repair specialist to inspect the roof for any existing damages or weak points that might be causing the leaks. As a paying tenant, I have fulfilled all my obligations outlined in the lease agreement, including timely rent payments and maintaining the property in a clean and orderly manner. In light of this, I expect prompt action from you to rectify this situation at the earliest convenience. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter in writing within five business days from the date of receipt. This will help ensure effective communication and provide a record of the issue being addressed. Failure to respond within the specified timeframe will leave me with no choice but to seek legal remedies, including withholding rent or initiating legal proceedings, to safeguard my rights as a tenant. I trust that you understand the seriousness of the situation and will take immediate action to resolve the leak problem in a timely manner. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and hope to see significant progress soon. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
