I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue concerning the state of the floors, stairs, and railings in my rented unit located at [Address of Rental Unit]. As your tenant, I have observed significant damages that require immediate attention and thorough repairs to ensure the safety and habitability of the property. Firstly, the floors in my unit have deteriorated over time, evident by numerous cracks and loose floorboards. This poses a serious safety hazard as it increases the likelihood of accidents and injuries. I have personally experienced several instances where my foot got caught in these damaged areas, causing me considerable discomfort and concern. These issues require immediate repair to prevent any further incidents. Secondly, the stairs leading to my unit are in dire need of repair. The treads are worn out, with some missing entirely, making it treacherous to traverse them safely. Lack of proper support and stability in the staircase poses a severe risk, not only to me but also to other tenants and guests who visit the property. I implore you to address this matter promptly to avoid any potential accidents that could lead to severe injuries. Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to the unsafe condition of the railings within the common areas of the building. The railings are rusted, loose, and wobbly, rendering them unreliable for support. This poses a significant risk, especially to elderly or disabled individuals who rely on the railings for stability and balance. It is crucial that you take immediate action to fortify and repair these railings to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all tenants. I must emphasize that as a tenant, I have the right to reside in a safe and well-maintained environment. The deteriorating condition of the floors, stairs, and railings not only affects my overall quality of life but also jeopardizes the integrity of the property as a whole. I kindly request your prompt attention and immediate action to address these concerns. According to Texas state laws, it is the landlord's legal obligation to maintain the premises in habitable conditions, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all tenants. Failure to address these repair needs adequately within a reasonable period may result in severe consequences, such as legal action and reporting to housing authorities. In conclusion, I demand that you initiate the necessary repairs to the floors, stairs, and railings without delay. I kindly request to be promptly notified about the intended course of action, including the date and time when these repairs will commence. I believe that by working together, we can resolve these pressing issues and provide a safe living environment for all tenants. Furthermore, I look forward to your immediate attention and response. Thank you for your prompt action, understanding, and cooperation.
