Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to a matter that requires immediate attention and action on your part regarding the broken windows in my apartment at [Apartment Address] in Little Rock, Arkansas. Since moving into the apartment on [Move-in Date], I have noticed that several windows are broken and in dire need of repair. This issue not only affects the aesthetics of the apartment but also poses safety and security risks. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you about these urgent repairs that are needed. The broken windows are causing various inconveniences and problems. Firstly, they allow the outside elements such as rain, wind, and pests to enter the apartment, leading to potential damage to my personal belongings and compromising the indoor environment. The lack of proper insulation due to these broken windows is also causing an increase in my energy bills as it becomes more difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature within the apartment. Moreover, the broken windows compromise the security of the premises. They provide easy access for intruders and present a threat to my personal safety and the safety of my belongings. It is essential to address this issue promptly to ensure the security and well-being of all occupants of the building. I kindly request that you take immediate action to repair the broken windows in my apartment within the next [reasonable timeframe, for example, 14 days]. I understand that maintenance issues may arise, but windows in such disrepair require urgent attention. If necessary, please schedule an inspection to assess the extent of the damage and plan the required repairs accordingly. As per our rental agreement and Arkansas State laws, it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the property in a habitable condition. Failure to take appropriate action within a reasonable time frame will leave me with no choice but to deduct the costs of repair from my rent in accordance with the Little Rock Tenant Protection Act. I hope we can resolve this matter promptly and amicably. I appreciate your attention to this urgent issue and look forward to hearing from you within [reasonable timeframe, for example, one week] to confirm when the repairs will commence. Furthermore, I am available at [your contact information] if you require any further information or need to arrange access to the apartment for inspection or repairs.
