I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue regarding the state of the windows in my rented unit at [Rental Property Address] in Bellevue, Washington. It is with great concern that I inform you that several windows in the residence are in a state of disrepair, which poses various risks to both my safety and the overall livability of the property. To provide you with more specific details, I have identified the following broken windows: 1. Living Room: Located on the west side of the apartment, the windowpane is completely shattered, leaving it vulnerable to environmental elements such as rain, wind, and potential break-ins. 2. Bedroom: The window adjacent to the main bedroom has a large crack running through the center from top to bottom. This damage compromises the insulation, allowing outside noise and temperature fluctuations into the unit. 3. Kitchen: The window above the kitchen sink is currently dysfunctional.
