Subject: Urgent Notice of Broken Doors and Request for Repair — Apartment [Unit Number] Date: [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] Lakeland, Florida, [ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant maintenance issue that requires immediate attention in my apartment at [Apartment Complex Name], specifically regarding the broken doors throughout the unit. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to report any damages or malfunctions within the premises promptly. Unfortunately, the doors in my apartment have been severely affected, causing a great inconvenience and compromising the safety and security of both me and my property. Description of the Door Issues: 1. Entrance door: The front entrance door has developed substantial cracks, making it prone to security breaches. Not only does this pose a significant risk to my safety, but it also makes it easier for unauthorized individuals to access the premises. 2. Bedroom door: The bedroom door has partially detached from its hinges, making it difficult to close and creating a disturbance due to excessive noise. Repairing this door is crucial to ensuring privacy, peace, and tranquility within the unit. 3. Balcony door: The balcony door lock has been jammed for quite some time, making it impossible to securely lock. This lack of proper locking mechanism not only makes my apartment susceptible to break-ins but also compromises the energy efficiency of the unit. Due to these issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy the situation. As per our lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the premises are maintained in a habitable condition, including repairing any damages that may affect the health, safety, or livability of the unit. I would appreciate if you could arrange for a maintenance team to promptly inspect the doors mentioned above and undertake the necessary repairs to restore them to their original condition. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, but I kindly request that this repair be treated with the utmost urgency, given the potential security risks involved. If you require access to the apartment for the repair work, please inform me in advance, and I will make myself available or provide the necessary access permissions. Please confirm in writing, within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 48 hours] of receiving this letter, that the repair work will be scheduled promptly. I kindly ask that you also provide an estimated timeline for completion, so I can plan accordingly. Should you fail to initiate the required repairs within a reasonable timeframe, I have no other option but to seek legal remedies available to me as a tenant, as outlined in Florida's landlord-tenant laws. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will take swift action to address the broken doors and restore the security and livability of my apartment. I value our good landlord-tenant relationship and hope that this concern will be attended too promptly. Please contact me at [Your Contact Information] to discuss any further details or to schedule the repair work.
