Title: Miami Gardens, Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Premises Leaks 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 pressing issue regarding my rented premises at [Address]. Specifically, I have observed a recurring problem of leaks during rainy weather, which has become increasingly inconvenient and concerning. As a tenant, I understand the importance of maintaining the property's condition, and I believe it is crucial to address this matter promptly to prevent any further damage. The leaks have caused water to penetrate the ceilings and walls, leading to visible discoloration, peeling paint, and even minor mold growth in some areas. This poses serious health hazards and threatens the integrity of the property. Hence, I kindly request that you or your qualified team arrange for a thorough inspection and immediate repair of the identified areas affected by leaks. It is crucial to resolve this issue promptly to avoid any further damage that may affect the structural integrity of the building or pose a hazard to my personal belongings. Additionally, I have done some research and learned that the Florida Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II, Florida Statutes) places the responsibility of maintaining the rented premises on the landlord, particularly in regard to vital services, including plumbing and leaks. Moreover, Florida law requires landlords to ensure the property meets the minimum standards of habitability, which includes addressing leaks and preventing water damage. I understand that unforeseen repairs may be required, which can be both time-consuming and costly. However, as your tenant, I pay my rent on time and expect you to honor your obligations as a landlord by ensuring the premises are maintained in a habitable condition. In the interest of maintaining open communication, I kindly request that you provide a written response within 14 days of receiving this letter. This response should outline the steps you are taking to address the leak issue, provide an estimated schedule for the repair work, and any interim measures you plan to implement to prevent further damage during the repair process. Failure to address this issue within a reasonable time frame will force me to explore alternative options available to me under the Florida Landlord and Tenant Act, including seeking legal remedies or terminating the lease agreement due to breach of contractual obligations. I sincerely hope we can work together to promptly resolve this matter and restore the premises back to a safe and habitable condition. I appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to your prompt response.
