I am writing to address several concerning issues within the rental unit located at [Rental Unit Address] in Wayne, Michigan. As a tenant in good standing, I hold an obligation to inform you about these critical matters that require immediate attention. 1. Floors: The current condition of the floors in my rental unit is unsatisfactory and poses significant safety risks. The floors display noticeable cracks, loose tiles, or warped floorboards, causing instability and tripping hazards. These deficiencies not only hinder the aesthetics of the premises but also expose me and other occupants to the potential risk of injury. It is imperative that you promptly arrange for the repair or replacement of the damaged flooring to ensure a safe and habitable living environment. 2. Stairs: The staircase connecting my rental unit poses severe concerns for personal safety due to its dilapidated state. The stairs are worn, unstable, and exhibit loose or missing handrails, making it increasingly hazardous to traverse. It is crucial that you take immediate action to rectify these issues to alleviate the risk of accidents that may result in injuries to both residents and guests. The repair or replacement of the entire staircase, including the handrails, should be undertaken by a professional contractor to guarantee a secure and reliable configuration. 3.

The railings manifest notable signs of deterioration, such as loose or missing sections, rust, wobbling supports, or improper installation. As a tenant, my primary concern revolves around the safety and security of the rental unit. Therefore, I demand that you engage a qualified contractor to promptly repair or replace the deficient railings, ensuring they comply with the local safety codes and regulations. In accordance with the legal provisions and our lease agreement, I kindly request the repairs to be carried out within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] after the receipt of this letter. These repairs are necessary for the rental unit to be fully habitable and compliant with all applicable building and safety codes. Failure to address and rectify these concerns within the specified timeframe will leave me no choice but to explore other available legal remedies to ensure my rights as a tenant are upheld. This may include filing a complaint with the appropriate housing authority or seeking legal counsel. I trust that you will take immediate action to address these issues promptly and professionally. I remain hopeful that our cooperation will result in a safe and habitable living environment for all tenants.
