[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Windows Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to inform you of a critical matter that requires immediate attention regarding the broken windows at my rental property located in Hillsboro, Oregon. As per our lease agreement, it is your responsibility to ensure the upkeep and maintenance of the rental unit, including repairs. I would like to bring to your urgent attention that several windows in the property have been damaged, leaving them in a state of disrepair and compromising the security and safety of the premises. The broken windows pose a serious risk not only to the structural integrity of the house but also to my personal safety and that of my family. Since the broken windows compromise the insulation, they contribute to heightened energy consumption and increase the utility bills. Moreover, they allow cold drafts and moisture to penetrate the premises, leading to potential water damage and the growth of mold and mildew. These consequences can be detrimental to both the property's value and the well-being of its occupants. I kindly request that you prioritize this repair request and take immediate action to rectify the situation, ensuring that all broken windows are replaced or repaired by a professional and licensed window contractor. Prompt resolution of this issue will help maintain a habitable living environment and prevent further damage to the rental property. Please provide an acknowledgment of this letter within [reasonable time-frame, e.g., 5 business days] and inform me of the specific steps you plan to take to address the window repairs. In the event that repairs cannot be carried out within the mentioned time-frame, I would appreciate you providing a detailed explanation of the delay and a realistic timeline for completion. According to the Oregon Landlord-Tenant Act, maintaining the habitability of a rental property is an obligation of the landlord. Failure to address necessary repairs in a timely manner could potentially violate the terms of our lease agreement, as well as state laws governing landlord responsibilities. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you will promptly address this matter and ensure the restoration of the windows, thus safeguarding the health, safety, and comfort of the property. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
