Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Malfunctioning Doors in Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious maintenance issue in my rented unit located at [Property Address], Tampa, Florida. Specifically, the doors in my unit are in a state of disrepair, posing security risks and inconveniences that demand immediate attention. The broken doors have become an increasing concern for both me and my family. The front and rear entrance doors exhibit several alarming issues such as: 1. Damaged Locking Mechanism: The lock on the front door is faulty, making it difficult to secure the property properly. This poses a significant security threat as it compromises the safety of our belongings and our personal safety. 2. Jammed Door Frames: The rear entrance door frequently jams when opened or closed, requiring excessive force to operate. This not only affects our day-to-day activities but also hampers emergency evacuation procedures in case of a fire or other emergencies. 3. Cracked Glass Panels: The glass panels on both doors are cracked, presenting not only an unsightly appearance but also a potential safety hazard. Fragments of glass could dislodge and cause harm to occupants, especially in the event of accidental impact. 4. Inadequate Weather Sealing: The doors lack proper weatherstripping, allowing drafts, rainwater, and pests to enter the premises. The compromised insulation negatively impacts energy efficiency, resulting in increased utility costs, and discomfort within our living space. Considering the urgency and critical nature of the door repairs, I kindly request that you address these issues promptly. As a responsible tenant, I understand the importance of maintaining the property's condition and contributing to a safe living environment for all occupants. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request the following actions to be taken as soon as possible: 1. Immediate inspection of the doors and assessment of the necessary repairs. 2. Prompt repair or replacement of the damaged lock, ensuring it meets all relevant safety standards. 3. Repair or replacement of the jammed door frame, allowing for smooth and hassle-free usage. 4. Replacement of the cracked glass panels with undamaged, securely fitted ones. 5. Installation of weatherstripping or appropriate seals to prevent any further drafts, water leakage, or pest infiltration. I understand that unforeseen maintenance issues can occur, and I appreciate your attention to resolving them in a timely manner. As a tenant, I fully acknowledge my responsibilities and assure you of my cooperation during the repair process. Please confirm in writing, within [reasonable time-frame], the actions you will take to address these concerns. If no response is received within the stated timeframe, I may be forced to explore alternative remedies to ensure the safety and habitability of my living space. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to rectify the door issues promptly, ensuring our continued satisfaction as tenants.
