[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Demand for Immediate Repair of Floors, Stairs, and Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address significant concerns regarding the condition of the floors, stairs, and railings in my rented dwelling located at [Rental Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to bring these matters to your attention. Since occupying the premises, I have noticed a plethora of maintenance issues affecting the safety and habitability of the property. It is crucial that immediate action be taken to ensure these deficiencies are rectified, in compliance with the Illinois Cook County Building Code and our rental agreement. 1. Floors: The floors in the rented unit exhibit multiple hazards, including but not limited to uneven surfaces, loose floorboards, and protruding nails. These pose a significant risk of injury to individuals residing in the premises. I request that all necessary repairs be made promptly to ensure a safe and secure living environment. 2. Stairs: The staircase leading to my unit is in a dilapidated state, characterized by broken and wobbly steps, loose handrails, and inadequate lighting. These conditions greatly endanger both residents and their guests. I insist that comprehensive repairs are undertaken to render the staircase hazard-free and compliant with safety standards. 3. Railings: The railings throughout the property, especially on balconies and upper-level walkways, are severely deteriorated, exhibiting rust, decay, and instability. Such conditions increase the risk of accidents and falls. It is imperative that these railings are promptly repaired or replaced, adhering to the Illinois Cook County Building Code guidelines. The maintenance issues detailed above not only compromise the safety of the occupants but also directly violate our landlord-tenant agreement, which obligates you, as the landlord, to maintain the premises in a habitable condition. I kindly request that you acknowledge my concerns and initiate the necessary repairs within the next [reasonable time frame — typically 14 days]. Failure to take appropriate action to rectify these issues within the specified timeframe may compel me to explore alternative legal remedies to safeguard my rights as a tenant. In accordance with the Illinois Cook County Building Code, I firmly assert my right to withhold and escrow rent payments until the mentioned repairs are satisfactorily completed. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably without such measures becoming necessary. I kindly request a written response acknowledging receipt of this letter and outlining your proposed plan of action regarding the repair timeline. Please get in touch with me as soon as possible, either by phone or email, to discuss the matter further. I appreciate your attention to this matter and anticipate a prompt resolution. Our shared commitment to maintaining a safe and habitable rental property is of utmost importance. Thank you for your immediate attention to these concerns. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
