Subject: Urgent Repair Notice: Broken Doors in the Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to inform you about a serious matter regarding the property I am currently renting at [Rental Property Address] in Bakersfield, California. It has come to my attention that some doors within the premises are broken and require immediate repair. Firstly, I would like to provide a detailed description of the broken doors: 1. Front Door: The front door lock mechanism seems to be malfunctioning, making it difficult to lock and unlock the door securely. Additionally, the door has become partially detached from the hinges, posing a significant security concern for both me and my belongings. 2. Back Door: The back door leading to the patio has a broken handle, which makes it challenging to open and close properly. Moreover, the door does not latch correctly, leaving it susceptible to forced entry. 3. Bedroom Door: The bedroom door has a cracked panel, causing it to get stuck when opening and closing. This defect seriously hampers privacy and tranquility within the premises. 4. Bathroom Door: The bathroom door lock is not functioning correctly, constantly jamming and failing to lock properly. Given that the bathroom is a fundamental area requiring privacy, this issue presents an inconvenience and a breach of personal space. It is critical to promptly address these problems as they significantly impact the safety, security, and convenience of living in the rental property. As a tenant, I have a right to a habitable and secure living environment, as outlined in the California Tenant-Landlord Laws. As such, I kindly request that you arrange for a professional repair service immediately to rectify these door issues. Doing so will not only reestablish the property's security but also preserve its overall value. I trust that you understand the urgency and the importance of maintaining a safe and comfortable dwelling. If the necessary repairs are not initiated within a reasonable period (as specified by state law), I may be forced to exercise my rights as a tenant, which may include seeking legal remedies or withholding rent until the repairs have been completed adequately. In conclusion, I urge you to take immediate action to address the broken doors as described above. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution that will ensure the property remains in good condition. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
