[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice of Premises Leak During Rain and Demand for Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue regarding the rental property at [Property Address], located in San Bernardino, California. Experiencing heavy rainfalls in the past week, I have observed significant water leakage within the premises. This matter requires immediate attention and remedial action to protect the property from further damage and ensure the welfare and safety of the tenants. As per our lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the premises in a habitable condition, free from any structural defects that may jeopardize the property's integrity. I have noticed several instances of water seeping through the ceiling, primarily in the living room and bedroom areas. The leaks have caused water stains, lumpy ceiling texture, and it is evident that the issue is worsening with each rainfall. Given the urgency of the situation and possible implications for both the property's structure and the occupants' health, I kindly request that you promptly arrange for a professional inspection by a licensed and qualified contractor experienced in repairing roof or plumbing leaks. The inspection should encompass the entire property to identify the extent of the problem and the necessary repairs. In light of the above, I kindly request the following actions to be taken: 1. Immediate inspection of the property by a licensed contractor specializing in remedying roof or plumbing leaks to identify the source and extent of the water leakage. 2. Complete repairs to the identified areas of concern, including any necessary restoration or remediation work required to ensure a watertight and habitable living environment. 3. Provide a written timeline for initiating and completing the repair work promptly. Please keep in mind that failing to respond effectively and quickly in addressing this issue violates our legal agreement. 4. Communicate any potential actions or precautions that the tenants should take during the repair process to ensure minimal disruption and avoid any additional damage to personal belongings. I am sure you understand the severity of this situation and the importance of taking immediate action to mitigate further damage. I expect you to address this matter promptly to adhere to your obligations as a responsible landlord. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the receipt of this letter, I am compelled to seek appropriate legal remedies and report the matter to the relevant local authorities. I believe that we can resolve this issue amicably, preserving our constructive landlord-tenant relationship. Please note that, as a tenant, I have consistently fulfilled my obligations outlined in the lease agreement, and it is my hope that you will reciprocate with the necessary repairs in a timely manner. I kindly request to be kept informed about the progress made towards resolving this matter. You may reach me at the contact details provided above. Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious concern. I look forward to hearing back from you and working together to resolve this issue promptly.
