[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Notice of Broken Doors and Request for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention the current state of the doors in my rented property at [Property Address], Charlotte, North Carolina, and to request prompt repairs to address this matter. Firstly, I would like to notify you that numerous doors within the property have incurred damages, leading to significant inconvenience, potential security risks, and compromised privacy. I have observed the following issues: 1. Front Door: The front entrance door is visibly damaged, with a cracked panel and loose hinges. This compromises the security of the property, leaving it vulnerable to unauthorized access. 2. Back Door: The back door leading to the patio area has a broken handle, making it difficult to open and close properly. This condition poses a safety hazard as it increases the risk of accidents. 3. Bedroom Doors: Several bedroom doors have dysfunctional locks, resulting in difficulty securing individual rooms. This not only jeopardizes privacy but also compromises the safety of the occupants, especially if the property is shared with other tenants. 4. Bathroom Door: The bathroom door has an unstable hinge, causing it to squeak unpleasantly when opened or closed. This noise not only disturbs the tranquility of the living environment but also signifies potential further damage if left unaddressed. Given the aforementioned situations, I kindly request that you promptly arrange for the repair and restoration of the above-mentioned doors to their original, functional state. Ensuring the security, privacy, and proper functioning of the doors is crucial for the wellbeing of all residents in the property. As stipulated by the North Carolina Landlord-Tenant Act, it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the premises in a habitable condition. Section 42-42(b) specifically states that the landlord shall "make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition." Therefore, I kindly ask you to fulfill your legal obligations and carry out the necessary repairs promptly. I kindly request that the repairs be completed within [reasonable time-frame]. As this issue affects the safety and security of the property, I kindly ask for your urgent attention in this matter. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter within [reasonable time-frame] and provide me with a written confirmation of when the repairs will be initiated. I can be contacted at [phone number] or via email at [email address] at your earliest convenience. In the event that repairs are not initiated within a reasonable time-frame, I may seek legal remedies available to me under North Carolina state law. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and your cooperation in rectifying the door-related concerns. I firmly believe that together we can ensure a safe living environment for all tenants. Thank you for your prompt action and anticipated cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] --- Note: The above letter serves as a general template to address broken doors and request repairs from a landlord. It is essential to tailor the letter according to the specific circumstances and references to North Carolina laws and regulations.
