[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Plumbing Repair Urgently Required — Formal Demand for Immediate Resolution Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue that requires your immediate attention and necessary action. As your tenant at [Your Address], I am experiencing a severe plumbing problem which is causing substantial inconvenience and potential damage to the property. To provide a clear understanding of the issue, I would like to outline the specific symptoms I have been witnessing: 1. Frequent Drain Clogging: The drains in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry areas are consistently clogging, leading to slow draining or stagnant water. This poses a risk of overflowing and water damage, making the areas unpleasant and unhygienic to use. 2. Persistent Sewer Odor: A noticeable unpleasant odor has been emanating from the drains, suggesting a potential issue with the sewer line or the plumbing system. This is not only unpleasant but also potentially hazardous to the health of the occupants and can significantly impact the overall living environment. 3. Water Leakage: I have noticed visible signs of water leakage in the form of damp patches, water stains, and wet spots on the walls and flooring. This indicates a potential plumbing malfunction or pipe leakage, which can lead to serious structural damage if left unattended. Considering the above problems, I kindly request that you take immediate action to resolve the plumbing issues at the property. As a responsible tenant, I have maintained the property in a clean and orderly condition, and it is now imperative for you, as the landlord, to fulfill your obligations to ensure habitability and safe living conditions. I understand that repairs can sometimes be time-consuming and complicated, but I must emphasize the urgency of these repairs as the plumbing problems are significantly affecting my daily routine, causing distress, and potentially leading to further damage. I expect a prompt response outlining your action plan and a reasonable timeline for the repairs to commence and be completed. As per my rights as a tenant, I kindly request that these repairs be conducted by a licensed and professional plumber to ensure the highest quality of work and a long-term resolution to the problems. If I do not receive a satisfactory response or if the repairs are not initiated within a reasonable timeframe, I will have no choice but to explore alternative options to resolve this matter, which may include seeking legal advice to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that as a dedicated and responsible landlord, you will prioritize this matter and take immediate action to rectify the plumbing issues. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and hope for a swift resolution. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
