Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Windows — Tenant to Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a pressing matter that requires urgent action: the broken windows in my [apartment/house] located at [complete address]. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for promptly addressing any maintenance issues in the past. However, I regret to inform you that the windows in my unit are in a state of disrepair. The damage is extensive, posing an immediate security and safety risk to both myself and my property. The broken windows have now become a source of numerous inconveniences, compromising both my comfort and the value of the rental unit. The deteriorated condition allows cold drafts to seep into the premises, making it increasingly difficult to maintain a suitable climate inside. Additionally, the worn-out windows fail to muffle exterior noise adequately, causing disruptions to my peaceful enjoyment of the property. As a responsible tenant, I have taken the liberty of conducting some research to provide you with relevant information regarding the urgency and significance of this repair request. According to California law, landlords are mandated by Section 1941.1 of the Civil Code to maintain rental property in habitable conditions. Functioning windows are fundamental to ensuring a livable environment, protecting against weather elements, pests, and potential break-ins. Therefore, inability to address this issue promptly could result in a violation of the implied warranty of habitability. I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the broken windows by employing a qualified professional to assess the damage and efficiently carry out the necessary repairs. I trust that you will prioritize this matter to prevent any further escalation of damages and potential safety hazards. Considering the seriousness of the situation and the urgency of the repair, I expect a response within [reasonable time frame, preferably 72 hours]. Please communicate with me via my phone number [provide phone number] or email address [provide email address] to confirm that suitable arrangements have been made. Once a repair plan is established, I also request regular updates on the progress to ensure transparency in the process. Should a delay occur or if my concerns are not adequately addressed, I may be left with no other option but to seek legal remedies to enforce my rights as a tenant under California law. However, I genuinely value our positive tenant-landlord relationship and strongly believe that we can resolve this matter amicably and in a timely fashion. Thank you kindly for your prompt attention to this matter. Your commitment to timely repairs and maintaining the habitability of the rental property is highly appreciated.
