It has come to my notice that during rainfall, the premises are experiencing significant leakage, causing inconvenience, property damage, and potential health hazards. With the recent heavy rainfall in Akron, Ohio, I have repeatedly observed water infiltration, resulting in the following distressing situations: 1.

This poses threats to the integrity of the property's structure and necessitates immediate attention. 2. Personal Property Damage: Due to the leaks, numerous household items, including furniture, carpets, and personal belongings, have been severely damaged or rendered unusable. This damage could have been prevented with timely repairs. 3. Mold and Mildew Growth: As a direct consequence of the persistent leaks, I have noticed the rapid growth of mold and mildew in various areas of the premises, including the walls and ceilings. This not only poses health risks but also requires costly mold remediation should the issue not be addressed promptly. To resolve these pressing concerns, I kindly request you to take immediate action and arrange for repairs to rectify the roof, walls, and windows, addressing the primary sources of leakage and preventing any further damage.
