Date: [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Notice of Broken Doors and Demand for Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue in my rental unit. I regret to inform you that the doors in my dwelling have sustained severe damages, rendering them inoperable and compromising the security and safety of the premises. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is essential to promptly address this matter to maintain the standard living conditions required by the lease agreement. The broken doors have become a significant inconvenience and a potential hazard for both myself and other occupants residing in the building. It has come to my attention that the following doors require immediate repair: 1. Front door: The front entry door, which acts as the primary access point to the property, is particularly damaged. It no longer aligns with the frame, allowing cold air, moisture, and unauthorized entry. The condition of this door compromises the security of the premises and makes it susceptible to potential burglaries or unauthorized access. 2. Balcony door: The balcony door located in the living room area is also broken and fails to close securely. This not only affects the thermal insulation of the unit, leading to excessive heat loss and higher energy bills, but it also raises concerns regarding the safety of the dwelling. The inability to properly secure this door poses a potential threat to my personal security and exposes the property to potential risks. Given the importance of having functional doors for security and protection against external elements, I kindly request your immediate attention and action to remedy this situation. As a tenant, I have fulfilled my obligations outlined in the lease agreement, including timely rent payments and maintaining the property's cleanliness. I hereby formally demand that repairs to the broken doors be conducted as soon as possible, preferably within the next [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days], to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the premises. If the repairs cannot be completed within the aforementioned timeframe, please provide a reasonable estimated date by which the repairs will be finalized. In accordance with Ohio Tenant Law, specifically [cite specific articles or laws if applicable], I remind you of your legal responsibility as a landlord to maintain habitable living conditions and promptly address repair requests such as this. Failure to meet these obligations may result in the breach of the lease agreement. Please acknowledge receipt of this notice to ensure that the issue has been properly documented. I can be reached at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] in case you require any further information or clarification regarding this matter. I trust that you will prioritize this request and take the necessary steps to address the situation promptly. Furthermore, I value our landlord-tenant relationship and believe that through effective communication and prompt action, we can resolve this issue professionally and to our mutual satisfaction. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
