Los Angeles California Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand that Landlord Repair Broken Windows [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Prompt Repair of Broken Windows Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to the urgent and necessary repair that needs to be undertaken on the windows of my rental unit located at [Specify your address]. As per the terms of our lease agreement and the applicable laws, it is your duty as the landlord to ensure that the property is maintained in a safe and habitable condition. I have noticed that several windows in my unit are broken, resulting in several issues which are affecting me as the tenant. It is imperative that you address these concerns expeditiously to maintain a safe living environment and fulfill your obligations as outlined in the lease agreement. The broken windows pose several risks and inconveniences. Firstly, they compromise the security of the property, leaving it vulnerable to unauthorized access and potential break-ins. This situation not only jeopardizes the safety of myself and my belongings but also exposes the entire building to potential security breaches. Furthermore, the broken windows allow outdoor elements, such as rain and wind, to enter the unit, leading to water damage, increased utility bills, and decreased energy efficiency. Additionally, the lack of proper insulation due to these broken windows makes it difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature, especially during extreme weather conditions, leading to discomfort and increased energy consumption. I request your immediate attention to this matter and kindly insist that you engage a certified and reputable professional window repair service to rectify the situation. I believe it is in both our best interests to ensure the prompt repair and restoration of the windows to maintain the habitability and value of the rental property. According to Section [Specify the relevant section] of the California Civil Code, a landlord has a duty to make all necessary repairs to maintain a habitable premise. Failure to comply with this legal obligation could result in penalties and potential legal actions. Therefore, I trust that you will address this matter without delay. I kindly request that you provide a written response within [Specify a reasonable timeframe] outlining your plans for repairs, including the date when the repairs will commence and an estimated completion date. Should you fail to respond or take necessary action within a reasonable timeframe, I may have no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant under California law to remedy the situation on my own, while seeking reimbursement for any expenses incurred. I genuinely hope to resolve this matter amicably and collaboratively, allowing us to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Promptly repairing the broken windows will not only guarantee my satisfaction as a tenant but also protect your investment and ensure the compliance with your legal obligations. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will act responsibly to address the repairing of the broken windows promptly. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the steps you will be taking to resolve this issue.
