[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice of Broken Doors and Request for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue that requires immediate action — the broken doors in my rental property located at [Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, I kindly request your urgent assistance in resolving this matter as it poses a serious security risk to both me and the property itself. [If referring to a specified door] Specifically, the front door of the property is heavily damaged, with a broken lock that renders it ineffective in protecting the premises from unauthorized entry. Additionally, the door frame is cracked, impacting its structural integrity. Moreover, the door's hinges have become loose, causing difficulty in opening and closing it securely. [If referring to multiple doors] On top of the aforementioned issues with the front door, I regret to inform you that several other doors within the property have also experienced varying degrees of damage. These doors, including the back entrance, bedroom doors, and bathroom doors, are affected by broken handles, dysfunctional locks, and deteriorating frames. This state of disrepair not only compromises the security of my personal belongings and safety within the premises but also violates the terms of our tenancy agreement. I kindly remind you that it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the rented property in a habitable and functional condition, as stated under the Texas Property Code Section 92.052. Therefore, I respectfully request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues. In light of the pressing nature of this matter, I expect a prompt response from you regarding the scheduling of necessary repairs. Ideally, repairs should commence within [reasonable timeline, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this notice. Furthermore, I kindly request that you provide written confirmation outlining the specific repair plan and timeline, as this will help us maintain clear communication and ensure a timely resolution. In the unfortunate event that the necessary repairs are not undertaken within a reasonable time frame, I remind you that I retain the rights outlined in the Texas Property Code Section 92.056, which may include possible remedies such as withholding rent or terminating the lease agreement. I firmly believe that we can amicably resolve this matter to ensure the safety and habitability of the property, thus preventing any further escalation. I eagerly await your prompt attention to this issue, and I trust that you will take the necessary steps to address it with the urgency it demands. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
