I am writing to bring to your attention the pressing issue of several maintenance concerns in my rented premises at [Your Address], Little Rock, Arkansas. It is my duty as a responsible tenant to inform you of these urgent repairs that are necessary to ensure the safety and habitability of the property. Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to the deteriorating condition of the floors in the rental unit. Various sections of the flooring, particularly in the living room and bedroom areas, are showing signs of significant wear and tear. This not only poses a safety hazard but also impairs the aesthetic appeal of the apartment. Additionally, the uneven flooring has caused instances of tripping and stumbling, increasing the risk of injury for both tenants and visitors. Furthermore, the condition of the stairs in the building requires immediate attention. The stairs leading to the entrance of the building are unstable, with loose and broken steps causing a potential falling hazard. This poses a serious risk to the well-being of occupants and anyone accessing the property. It is crucial to promptly address and repair these hazardous conditions to avoid any potential accidents or liability issues. In addition to the stairs, the railings throughout the building are in desperate need of repair. Many of the railings have become loose, wobbly, or completely detached, compromising the safety of tenants, especially those with mobility issues or children. A securely installed and maintained railing system is an essential component of a safe living environment. I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these maintenance issues as per the terms of our rental agreement and the obligations outlined in the Arkansas Landlord-Tenant Act. It is my understanding that it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure the premises are maintained in a habitable condition, free from hazards that could endanger tenants or visitors. I would appreciate it if you could arrange for a licensed, qualified contractor to inspect the floors, stairs, and railings promptly and proceed with the necessary repairs. Please inform me of the scheduled dates for the inspection and repairs so that I may make the necessary arrangements to facilitate access to the premises. Should you fail to address these concerns within a reasonable timeframe, I may have no choice but to exercise my rights under the lease agreement and seek legal remedies available to me. It is my sincere hope that we can resolve these issues amicably and promptly to ensure the continued safety and enjoyment of the property for all parties involved. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter in writing within [reasonable timeframe]. I can be reached at the contact information provided above should you require any further clarification or to arrange a mutually convenient time for inspection. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your response and seeing the necessary repairs initiated.
