Salt Lake City Utah Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Broken Windows [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious problem that requires immediate resolution — the broken windows in my apartment at [Apartment Address]. Despite multiple prior reports and requests, the necessary repairs have not been done, and it is causing significant discomfort and safety concerns. As you may recall, I have reported the broken windows on [specific dates], and each time, I was informed that repairs would be made promptly. However, it has been [duration] since the initial reports, and the situation remains unresolved. This prolonged delay has not only infringed upon my rights as a tenant, but it also poses a threat to my safety, security, and well-being. The broken windows have resulted in several problems which I wish to outline: 1. Weather Infiltration: The broken windows allow cold drafts to enter my apartment during winter and hot air during summer, making it incredibly challenging to maintain a comfortable living environment. Furthermore, this leads to an increased usage of heating and cooling systems, resulting in higher utility bills. 2. Noise Pollution: Due to the broken windows, the noise from outside traffic, construction sites, and neighboring apartments is excessively disturbing. This poses a hindrance to my daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life. 3. Security Risk: The damaged windows compromise the security of my apartment, making it easier for potential intruders to gain access. This is a serious concern for the safety of both myself and my personal belongings. 4. Aesthetics and Property Value: The broken windows give an unsightly appearance to my apartment, affecting its overall aesthetics. Additionally, should I decide to move, the property's value may decrease due to the unrepaired damages. Considering the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you immediately initiate the necessary repairs to restore the windows in my apartment. I believe timely maintenance is crucial to ensure a safe and habitable living environment. According to the terms of the lease agreement and local housing laws, it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the premises and promptly address any repair requests. Failure to take prompt action to rectify this issue within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] will leave me with no choice but to seek alternative options available to protect my rights as a tenant, which may potentially include legal action. As your tenant, I have consistently fulfilled my responsibilities, paying rent on time and taking care of the property. I hope that you understand the urgency of this matter and rectify the situation promptly. I kindly request a written response to this letter acknowledging receipt and outlining the action plan for repairing the broken windows. You may reach me at the contact information provided above to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
