Seattle Washington Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice that doors are broken and demand repair [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice to Repair Broken Doors in [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to inform you that there are serious issues with the doors at my rental property located at [Rental Property Address]. Unfortunately, these doors have become dysfunctional and pose a significant inconvenience and safety concern to both me and my family. Firstly, the front door of the property has been malfunctioning for the past [duration]. The lock mechanism is defective, making it nearly impossible to latch and lock securely. This compromises our security and renders the door inadequate against potential break-ins. Additionally, the door hinge is loose, causing the door to shake and make loud noises, further exacerbating the lack of security and adversely affecting our peace of mind. Secondly, the sliding door leading to the balcony has also encountered severe issues. The sliding functionality is impaired, resulting in difficulty opening and closing the door smoothly. Consequently, it now requires excessive force to open or shut, posing a potential safety hazard and increasing the risk of damage to the track or glass panel. Thirdly, the back door, which is primarily used for emergency exits, has a broken handle. This renders it completely non-functional, as it is impossible to properly grasp and operate the door. In the event of an emergency, this compromise in accessibility could be life-threatening and poses a serious breach of safety standards. I kindly request that you arrange for immediate repairs to address these issues. As per our rental agreement and the Washington State Landlord-Tenant Act, it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure that all aspects of the property, including doors, are maintained in a safe and functional condition. I understand that unforeseen circumstances and emergencies can arise, hindering repairs. However, I strongly urge you to prioritize these repairs given their direct impact on our safety, security, and quality of life. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 business days] confirming your agreement to perform the necessary repairs promptly. Should you fail to address these concerns within a reasonable time frame, repairs may be undertaken at the landlord's expense, as outlined in the Washington State Tenant Remedies Act. However, I hope it will not come to that, as maintaining a positive and cooperative relationship is always preferable. Please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone to discuss this matter further or to schedule an inspection of the doors. I look forward to your prompt attention to this urgent matter. Thank you for your immediate action in resolving the door repair issues, and I trust that these necessary repairs will be conducted without delay.
