Subject: Urgent Window Repairs Required in [Your Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious maintenance issue that requires immediate attention in the [apartment/unit] located at [your property address]. Specifically, I am concerned about the broken windows within my unit. As you are aware, broken windows not only compromise the security and safety of the premises but also hinder the overall pleasant living experience for tenants. It is imperative that these repairs are promptly addressed to maintain the optimal living conditions and comply with our rental agreement. The specific issues with the broken windows are as follows: 1. Broken Glass: There are multiple windows within my unit that have broken glass panes. This poses a significant risk as it allows weather elements, insects, and potential intruders to enter the premises. It also renders the windows ineffective in controlling temperature and noise levels. 2. Security Concerns: Broken windows create an easy entry point for unauthorized individuals, increasing the vulnerability of both the property and its residents. This compromises our safety and violates our right to feel secure in our own homes. 3. Energy Inefficiency: The compromised windows allow cold drafts to enter during the winter months and hot air flow in during the scorching Arizona summers. This leads to increased energy costs as I have to utilize heating or cooling systems excessively to maintain a comfortable living environment. I kindly request that you prioritize these repairs and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation in a timely manner. According to the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the premises in a habitable condition, which includes ensuring that windows are secure and functioning properly. Therefore, I respectfully demand the following actions be taken: 1. Prompt window repairs: Schedule a qualified professional to assess the extent of damage and repair or replace the broken windows effectively. 2. Timely communication: Please communicate with me within the next five business days to confirm that the necessary repairs have been scheduled and will be completed without delay. Additionally, co-ordinate with me to ensure a convenient time for access to my unit for the repairs to take place. 3. Cost responsibility: As these repairs are due to the normal wear and tear of the property, I expect the associated costs to be covered by yourself as per our rental agreement. I believe that your prompt attention to this matter will not only fulfill your legal obligations but also demonstrate your commitment to maintaining a safe and habitable living environment for your tenants. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 10 business days, I regretfully inform you that I will have no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me to ensure the repairs are completed as required by law. I look forward to your swift response and resolution to this matter. I can be reached at [your contact information] or via email at [your email address]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.
