Title: Tempe Arizona Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Floors, Stairs, or Railings Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I write to bring your attention to several concerning issues regarding the floors, stairs, and railings in my rented property located at [Address]. As you are aware, it is your legal responsibility as a landlord to provide a safe and habitable living environment. Unfortunately, the current condition of these crucial components poses a significant hazard to my well-being and those who visit the premises. I kindly request your immediate attention and necessary action in rectifying these matters. Description of Deficiencies: 1. Floors: The floors in several areas of the property have deteriorated significantly. The marred flooring poses a threat to my safety, as it is prone to cause slips, trips, and falls. Loose tiles, cracked floorboards, and uneven surfaces are not only unsightly but also increase the risk of potential accidents and injuries. This is not only concerning from a safety perspective but also compromises the aesthetic appeal of the property. 2. Stairs: The condition of the stairs within the building further exacerbates the safety concern. The steps exhibit signs of wear and tear, including loose or broken handrails, missing or damaged treads, or inadequate lighting. These issues jeopardize my ability to navigate the staircase with confidence and may result in accidents, especially during nighttime or in low-light situations. For the sake of my well-being and the need for access to various levels of the property, immediate repair or replacement of the stairs is imperative. 3. Railings: Additionally, the railings throughout the property have deteriorated, not providing the necessary support and stability required for safe use. Loose or wobbly railings could lead to serious accidents, particularly for individuals with limited mobility, the elderly, or children. Repairing or reinforcing the railings is crucial to maintaining a safe environment for all residents. Request for Action: In light of these pressing concerns, I kindly request that you take immediate and appropriate action to remedy these issues. The repairs should be executed promptly by qualified professionals, adhering to the relevant safety codes and standards. Request for Confirmation and Timelines: I kindly ask that you provide written confirmation of your commitment to resolving these concerns within a reasonable timeframe. As these issues significantly impact my safety and enjoyment of the property, a prompt response would be greatly appreciated. I suggest a mutually agreed-upon deadline for completion or significant progress in addressing the issues. Conclusion: I trust that you understand the urgency and significance of these repairs. Maintaining a safe and habitable living environment is a fundamental obligation of a responsible landlord. I genuinely hope that you will take these concerns seriously and promptly address the issues highlighted in this letter. I look forward to receiving your prompt response and witnessing the necessary repairs begin in good faith. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
