Title: Fairfax Virginia Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Premises Leaking During Rainstorms and Demand for Repair Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue regarding my rented premises located at [property address]. It has come to my attention that during rainstorms, the property exhibits significant leaks, which pose a threat to the safety, well-being, and the overall habitability of the apartment. As per our rental agreement, it is your responsibility to ensure the maintenance and repair of the premises. Thus, I kindly request immediate attention and necessary repairs to rectify this leaking issue. Description of the Leaking Issue: 1. Notice of Leaks: Over the past few rainy days, I have noticed substantial leaks occurring in the following areas of the rental unit: a. Ceiling: Water droplets penetrate through the ceiling, creating unsightly water stains and causing potential damage to furniture and belongings. b. Windows and Doors: Water seeps in around windows and doors, leading to disturbing pools of water that accumulate on the floor. This poses a safety hazard as well as potential damage to personal property. c. Walls: Sections of the walls exhibit dampness, discoloration, and peeling paint due to water ingress, which affects the aesthetic appeal of the property. 2. Consequences and Inconvenience: The leaks have resulted in multiple unfortunate incidents, including damage to personal items, stress, and discomfort. Furthermore, the presence of moisture due to these leaks may pose a risk for mold, especially in enclosed spaces such as closets, which can negatively impact the air quality and pose health hazards. Demand for Repair: As my landlord, it is your legal obligation to provide habitable living conditions as outlined in our rental agreement. Given the severity of the leaking issue, I kindly request that you take immediate action to ensure proper repairs are carried out by a licensed professional. Failure to address this problem promptly not only violates our agreement but also jeopardizes my safety, well-being, and my right to a comfortable living space. Please take note of the following details when proceeding with the repairs: — I expect the repairs to be completed within a reasonable timeframe. — In the event that temporary relocation becomes necessary during the repair process, I request that any associated expenses, such as accommodation and moving costs, be covered by you. — Ensure that any repairs are performed in compliance with the appropriate building codes and regulations to prevent future recurrence of this issue. Conclusion: I believe it is in both our interests to resolve this matter promptly and amicably. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [a specified time frame] and confirm your plans to address the leaking issue. I truly value the rental relationship we have had thus far and hope we can work together to ensure the integrity and habitability of the property.
