Title: Beaumont Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Floors, Stairs, or Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address some serious concerns regarding the condition of the floors, stairs, and railings in my rented property at [Property Address] in Beaumont, Texas. It has come to my attention that these areas are in urgent need of repair, posing a severe risk to my safety, as well as other tenants and guests. Firstly, the floors in various rooms of the property exhibit significant damage. There are noticeable cracks, loose tiles, and uneven surfaces that make walking hazardous. I have witnessed multiple instances where myself and others have stumbled or tripped due to these defects. This poses a clear liability issue and violates the duty of care you owe as a landlord. Secondly, I would like to draw your attention to the state of the stairs throughout the property. The steps are worn down, splintered, and unstable, making it perilous to ascend or descend. Given that the property is multi-story, this poses a heightened danger, particularly during low visibility conditions. It is vital that immediate action is taken to rectify this safety concern. Lastly, the railings in both indoor and outdoor areas of the property are loose, damaged, or absent altogether. These railings serve as crucial support systems, especially for individuals with mobility impairments. Their compromised condition compromises the overall safety and accessibility of the property, thus necessitating prompt repair. I must inform you, as per the lease agreement and the Texas Property Code, it is your responsibility to maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition, which includes the maintenance and repair of floors, stairs, and railings. It is crucial that these repairs are undertaken within a reasonable timeframe, with inspections carried out subsequently to ensure their proper functionality. In light of the urgency and potential risks associated with these issues, I kindly request that you address the situation immediately. I propose scheduling an inspection with a professional contractor or engineer within the next seven days, followed by swift repairs to ensure the premises meet all necessary safety requirements. Failure to comply with these demands will leave me with no alternative but to exercise my rights under state law, which may include seeking legal remedies, withholding rent until repairs are made, or even terminating the lease agreement. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and confirm steps you will take to rectify the aforementioned safety concerns. I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you will take my concerns seriously and promptly initiate the necessary actions. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.
