This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically that the floors, stairways, railings are not in good repair. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that repairs be made. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Immediate Repair of Floors, Stairs, and Railings 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 urgent need for prompt repairs to be carried out on the floors, stairs, and railings of the rental property located at [property address] in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Firstly, I want to express my appreciation for your previous attention to maintenance issues within the property; however, it has come to my attention that the safety and habitability of the premises are being compromised due to the current state of the floors, stairs, and railings. Floors — The flooring within the unit has suffered significant wear and tear over time, resulting in numerous uneven areas and loose floorboards. This not only poses a trip hazard but also affects the structural integrity of the floor. The damaged floors create an unsafe living environment for me and my family, and immediate repairs are necessary to prevent any potential accidents. Stairs — The staircase leading to the second floor is in dire need of repair. Several steps are noticeably loose, with cracked or broken treads. This presents a significant safety risk as it is extremely hazardous to navigate the stairs, especially for children or elderly residents. I request that the stairs be repaired promptly to eliminate this potential danger. Railings — Another pressing concern revolves around the railings both indoors and outdoors. Multiple railings have become wobbly, making them ineffective in aiding stability and posing hazards for anyone relying on them for support. The railings are essential for preventing falls and ensuring the safety of the tenants, making their immediate repair a paramount priority. In accordance with our lease agreement and the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act, it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the premises in a habitable condition and provide a safe living environment for your tenants. To ensure compliance with these legal obligations, I kindly request the following actions to be taken within the next [reasonable timeframe, typically 14 days]: 1. Complete repairs to all damaged floors, including fixing loose floorboards and addressing any uneven surfaces. 2. Conduct thorough repairs to the staircase, stabilizing loose steps, replacing cracked or broken treads, and ensuring its overall safety. 3. Repair or replace any faulty or insecure railings both indoors and outdoors, ensuring they meet required safety standards. If the necessary repairs are not initiated within the stated timeframe, I am entitled under the law to exercise my rights as a tenant, which may involve withholding rent, hiring a professional to carry out the repairs, or pursuing legal action for breach of contract and specific performance. I strongly believe that resolving these issues promptly will not only guarantee the safety and well-being of all residents but also uphold the reputation and value of the rental property. I trust that you will act upon this matter with utmost urgency and prioritize the necessary repairs. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter within [reasonable timeframe, typically 5 days]. I eagerly await your response to confirm that immediate action will be taken to address these concerns. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
