Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Floors, Stairs, or Railings in Miami-Dade, Florida [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Formal Demand for Immediate Repair of Floors, Stairs, or Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the pressing issue of the deteriorating conditions of the floors, stairs, and railings in my rented premises [property address] in Miami-Dade, Florida. It has come to my notice that these areas are in a hazardous state and pose a significant threat to the safety and well-being of myself and any visitors or guests. As you are aware, it is the landlord's responsibility to provide safe and habitable living conditions. According to the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II), landlords are required to maintain the premises in a fit condition for occupancy throughout the tenancy. The current condition of the floors, stairs, and railings clearly violates this legal obligation. The specific issues with the floors, stairs, and railings that need immediate attention include: 1. Floors: — Warped or broken floorboards that create a tripping hazard. — Loose or uneven flooring leading to a potential fall risk. — Water leaks causing damage, dampness, and mold growth. 2. Stairs: — Loose or missing handrails and balusters, compromising safety while ascending or descending. — Uneven steps or broken treads that could result in slip and fall accidents. — Cracked or worn-out steps that increase the risk of accidents. 3. Railings: — Loose or wobbly railings along staircases or balconies that pose a grave danger. — Rust, rot, or deterioration compromising the structural integrity of the railings. — Lack of appropriate height, resulting in inadequate protection against falls. Given the urgency of these issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy these problems. I expect the repairs to be undertaken by licensed professionals promptly. The safety and well-being of myself and others who reside or visit the property should be given the utmost priority. Please respond to this letter in writing within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of receipt to acknowledge receipt of this request and provide a detailed plan for remediation. As provided for by Florida law, if you fail to adequately address the concerns mentioned herein within a reasonable time frame, I reserve the right to pursue applicable legal remedies. I sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and promptly to ensure a safe living environment for all. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. Thank you for your cooperation.
