Vancouver Washington Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice Regarding Premises Leaks During Rain and Demand for Repair [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Notice of water leaks during rain and demand 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 serious issue that requires your immediate attention regarding the rental property I currently occupy at [specific address]. As you may be aware, the Vancouver Washington region experiences a significant amount of rainfall throughout the year, and unfortunately, the premises have developed several leaks during rainy weather conditions. These leaks have become a persistent problem and have caused considerable inconvenience and discomfort for me as the tenant. The leaks have been observed primarily in the following areas of the property: 1. Roof: During heavy rainstorms, water infiltrates the roof resulting in numerous leaks. These leaks have caused water damage to the ceilings, walls, and even furnishings in certain rooms of the house. 2. Windows and Doors: Water seeps through the window frames and under the doors, especially on the first floor, leading to dampness, mold growth, and potential water damage to the flooring. 3. Exterior Walls: Moisture penetrates the external walls, resulting in dampness and stains on the interior walls. This poses a risk for mold development and further structural degradation if not addressed promptly. Considering the severity of these leaks and their potential impact on my health, safety, and overall living conditions, I kindly request your utmost attention to rectify the situation promptly. My lease agreement explicitly states that it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure the property remains habitable and free from defects that may affect my well-being. Therefore, I am formally demanding the following actions to be taken without delay: 1. Inspection: I kindly request an immediate inspection by a qualified professional to assess the extent of the leaks and identify the underlying causes. 2. Leak Remediation: Based on the inspection report, I require the appropriate repairs to be conducted by licensed, insured professionals to fix the leaks thoroughly. This includes any necessary repairs to the roof, windows, doors, and exterior walls. 3. Preventative Measures: I urge you to consider implementing long-term solutions to prevent future leaks. This may involve regular maintenance, upkeep, or necessary improvements to the property's drainage system, roofing, and sealing. 4. Compensation: As a result of the leaks, I have incurred damages to my personal belongings and potential health hazards due to mold growth. I expect fair compensation for any expenses incurred or any depreciation of personal property. I kindly request a meeting to discuss a reasonable amount for reimbursement. Furthermore, I would appreciate prompt action to resolve this matter promptly, as further delay could exacerbate the damage and pose potential health risks. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter within five business days and provide a written plan outlining how you intend to address these concerns. I trust that you value your tenants' well-being and take pride in maintaining your properties to a high standard. I hope we can work together to resolve this issue amicably and ensure a safe, habitable living environment. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
