Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding the premises I am renting from you at [Property Address] in South Fulton, Georgia. Specifically, I want to bring to light a significant problem that occurs during rainy weather — water leakage. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that whenever it rains, water seeps into the property, causing damage to my personal belongings and creating an unpleasant living environment. This leakage issue arises during even the slightest rainfall and has become increasingly problematic. The water intrusion primarily affects the [specific areas/rooms] of the premises. Whenever it rains, the walls become damp and discolored, and there is a distinct musty odor throughout the affected areas. Additionally, I have noticed mold and mildew growth in several spots, which is not only unsightly but also poses potential health hazards. I understand that maintenance issues can arise even in well-maintained properties such as this one. However, the persistence and severity of this leakage problem have prompted me to request immediate attention and necessary repairs to this matter. As per my rights as a tenant, as outlined in the South Fulton, Georgia rental laws, I kindly request that you take the following actions: 1. Conduct an inspection of the property to assess the extent of the water leakage and identify the root cause of the problem. 2. Promptly repair any damaged roof, windows, walls, or foundation contributing to the water intrusion issue. 3. Address any mold or mildew growth by ensuring proper cleaning and remediation measures are taken to eliminate potential health risks. 4. Implement preventative measures, such as waterproofing or other necessary improvements, to prevent future recurrence of this issue. 5. Provide a reasonable timeline for completing the repairs and keeping me informed of the progress made. I understand that addressing these issues may require professional assistance. However, I kindly request that you prioritize this matter and arrange for repairs as soon as possible. Failure to take appropriate action to remedy this situation would constitute a breach of the landlord's duty to provide a habitable living environment. Under the South Fulton, Georgia rental laws, if the necessary repairs are not made within a reasonable timeframe, I may be entitled to exercise my rights, which could include seeking legal remedies or withholding a portion of my rent until the repairs are completed. I hope we can resolve this matter swiftly and amicably. I value the property and have been a responsible tenant. Furthermore, I trust that you will take this matter seriously, recognizing the importance of maintaining a safe and habitable living environment. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and inform me of the steps you will be taking to address the water leakage issue.
