Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Windows in [Property Address] [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of a pressing matter regarding the condition of the windows in my rental unit at [Property Address] in Port St. Lucie, Florida. As your tenant, I have noticed that several windows in the property are severely damaged and require immediate attention. The broken windows pose significant safety and security concerns for both me and the property. The cracks and gaps in these windows not only compromise the insulation of my unit, but they also allow easy access for pests, intruders, and inclement weather conditions. This jeopardizes the integrity and well-being of the property, as well as the safety and comfort of its occupants. To maintain a habitable and secure living environment, it is essential that these broken windows be promptly repaired or replaced. I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy this issue and restore the windows to their proper functioning state. Furthermore, I urge you to ensure that the repair work is carried out by a professional and licensed contractor to guarantee the highest quality of craftsmanship. Resolved windows will not only enhance the appeal of the property but also contribute to improved energy efficiency, reducing the overall utility costs. Neglecting this issue could lead to further deterioration of the windows and potentially higher expenses for both of us in the long run. I understand that maintenance responsibilities fall under your jurisdiction as the landlord, as outlined in our lease agreement. According to Florida law, it is your duty to provide habitable living conditions for your tenants, which includes maintaining windows in good repair. Failure to address this matter within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no choice but to explore other options available to me under the law. As an alternative to legal recourse, I would greatly appreciate your swift attention to this matter. Please notify me of your proposed course of action and the expected timeline for the repairs. In the meantime, I kindly request that you arrange temporary solutions, such as boarding up or securing the broken windows, to mitigate any further risks or damages. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will acknowledge the urgency and gravity of the situation and take immediate steps to address the broken windows. I look forward to hearing from you shortly and resolving this issue amicably. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
