I am writing as a tenant living in the property located at [Rental Property Address], in Indianapolis, Indiana. I would like to bring to your attention some urgent repairs required for the floors, stairs, or railings in the aforementioned property. As per the Indiana Tenant-Landlord Act, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the premises are maintained in a safe and habitable condition. I have observed several issues with the floors, stairs, or railings that require immediate attention to ensure the safety of the residents. 1. Floors: The floors in the [specific area/rooms] are currently in a state of disrepair. There are noticeable cracks, loose tiles, and sections that are uneven or sagging. This poses a potential tripping hazard, jeopardizing the well-being of anyone walking or moving about the property. Moreover, the compromised state of the floors could lead to further damage if left unaddressed. 2. Stairs: The stairs leading to [specific location] have shown signs of deterioration. The treads are worn-out, the handrails are loose or missing, and some steps creak or are unstable. This presents a significant danger for residents and visitors, increasing the risk of accidents, falls, and injuries. It is crucial that these issues involving the stairs are resolved promptly. 3. Railings: Furthermore, I have noticed that the railings in [specific areas] are either weakened, broken, or completely missing. The lack of sturdy railings compromises the safety of individuals, especially those with mobility issues or who may require additional support while using the stairs. Appropriate railings must be installed or repaired to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Considering the urgency and potential liability associated with these concerns, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the aforementioned issues.

However, I believe that we can resolve this matter amicably and maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship by addressing the repairs promptly.
