[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE OF BROKEN DOORS AND REQUEST FOR REPAIR I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to a concerning issue regarding the doors in my rental unit at [rental property address], here in Rockford, Illinois. It has come to my attention that the doors within the premises are in a state of disrepair, posing a security and safety risk for both myself and any visitors. Specifically, I have noticed the following problems with the doors: 1. Broken Doorknob/Handle: The front door's doorknob/handle is severely damaged and no longer functions properly. It is becoming increasingly challenging to secure or gain access to my rental unit due to this issue. 2. Misaligned Frame: The bathroom door frame is misaligned, causing the door to scrape against the floor and jam frequently. This makes it difficult to open and close the door smoothly, compromising privacy and convenience. 3. Loose Hinges: Another concern is that the bedroom door's hinges have become loose over time. This has resulted in the door making creaking noises whenever opened or closed, indicating that the hinges may fail completely in the near future. As I'm sure you can appreciate, these door-related problems pose a threat to the security, privacy, and overall habitability of my rental unit. It is essential that prompt action is taken to rectify these issues to maintain the comfort and safety of both the premises and its occupants. Therefore, I hereby request that you immediately arrange for the repair of the aforementioned door problems. I kindly ask that you engage a qualified professional to evaluate the extent of the damage and provide suitable repairs or replacements within a reasonable timeline. I must emphasize the urgency of this matter, given the security implications of dysfunctional doors. Furthermore, under the tenant's rights, it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure that the rental property meets the necessary safety standards and is in good repair. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [insert reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] and notify me of your proposed course of action to address these concerns promptly. Should the repairs not be initiated within a reasonable timeframe or if the door issues remain unresolved, I may seek legal remedies available under the applicable tenancy laws for necessary repairs or explore alternative courses of action to ensure the rectification of these problems. I trust that you will handle this matter with the utmost urgency and prioritize the wellbeing and satisfaction of your tenants. Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name]
