Subject: Urgent Maintenance Request and Notice of Landlord's Failure to Make Repairs Dear [Landlord's name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter regarding the ongoing lack of repairs and maintenance to my rented property at [property address] in Gresham, Oregon. As your tenant, I have consistently fulfilled my obligations by paying rent promptly and adhering to the terms of our lease agreement. Unfortunately, I have been extremely dissatisfied with the state of the property and your failure to address crucial repairs, resulting in inhabitable conditions and potential health hazards. Firstly, it is imperative to emphasize the critical nature of these repairs, as they directly impact both my safety and the habitability of the premises. Despite my numerous verbal requests, reminders, and prior written notices, the following issues have yet to be addressed satisfactorily: 1. Plumbing Issues: The plumbing system in the bathroom has been malfunctioning since [date]. I have reported this issue multiple times due to consistent leaks, low water pressure, and occasional sewage backups, which have made it extremely challenging to conduct daily activities and maintain hygiene. 2. Electrical Problems: Faulty wiring and electrical outlets pose a significant risk of fire hazards. I have experienced frequent power outages and have witnessed sparks coming from outlets, indicating imminent danger if left unresolved. 3. Structural Integrity: The property exhibits visible signs of deteriorating structures, such as cracked walls, sagging ceilings, and rotting floorboards. These structural concerns are not only aesthetically unpleasant but also pose a serious safety risk to both the property and my well-being. 4. Pest Infestation: I regret to inform you that there has been a persistent infestation of pests, including cockroaches and rodents, within the premises. This infestation is not only distressing but also unsanitary and potentially damaging to personal belongings. I have fulfilled my obligation by reporting these issues in a timely manner, submitting maintenance requests, and allowing access for inspections and repairs. However, despite my repeated attempts to communicate and rectify these matters, I have not witnessed any significant steps taken to address them. The lack of urgency and responsiveness demonstrated by your management has led me to question my living conditions and my rights as a tenant. In accordance with Gresham, Oregon laws and regulations, it is crucial for you, as the landlord, to fulfill your statutory duties by ensuring the habitability and maintenance of the rental property. Failure to do so not only breaches the terms of our lease agreement but also places you at risk of legal consequences. Therefore, I kindly request that immediate action is taken to rectify the aforementioned issues. I implore you to prioritize the repairs promptly and provide me with a written confirmation of the actions to be taken within [reasonable timeframe]. Please note that if these repairs are not commenced within the specified timeframe, I will be compelled to explore the appropriate legal avenues to protect my rights and seek remedies available under Oregon law. I genuinely hope to resolve these issues amicably and avoid the necessity for legal intervention. As a responsible tenant, I trust that you will demonstrate the same level of responsibility as a landlord. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you for your immediate assistance. I expect to hear from you shortly to discuss the remedial measures to be implemented. Please ensure all future communications related to this matter are in writing for record-keeping purposes.
