Subject: Urgent Repair Request — Leak in Premises During Rainfall [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue in the property I am currently renting at [Tenant's Address]. During the recent rainfall, I observed a substantial leak in the premises that requires immediate attention and repair. As per our rental agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the property is safe, habitable, and free from any structural faults or defects. Unfortunately, the current condition of the property poses several concerns, and it is vital that these issues are rectified promptly to avoid further damage. Upon noticing the leak, I took some necessary actions to mitigate the situation temporarily. However, it is crucial that a permanent solution is implemented by professional contractors before any severe consequences occur. I kindly request that a qualified repair team be arranged to assess and fix the following issues thoroughly: 1. Roof Leak: The leak seems to originate from the roof, precisely above the living room area. Water easily seeps in through the ceiling, resulting in considerable damage to the furniture and posing a potential safety hazard. 2. Wall Moisture: The water leakage has caused visible dampness and discoloration on the walls nearby. This moisture could lead to mold growth if not properly addressed. 3. Electrical Concerns: Given the proximity of the leak above the living room area, I am concerned about any potential damage to the electrical wiring or fixtures. This could pose a severe safety risk to me and other occupants. Due to the urgency of the situation, I kindly request that repairs commence as soon as possible. I would appreciate it if you could arrange for a qualified contractor to visit the premises for an accurate assessment and immediate action. It is imperative to prioritize the repairs to maintain the habitability and safety of the property. I would like to remind you of your legal obligation as a landlord to maintain the property in a satisfactory condition. If no action is taken within a reasonable time frame, I may be forced to pursue further actions to protect my rights as a tenant, which could include contacting local housing authorities or seeking legal remedies. I sincerely hope that this matter can be resolved amicably and expediently. I value our landlord-tenant relationship, and it is my intent to maintain and enjoy the property in a safe and comfortable manner. Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide me with an update on the steps taken to address the situation promptly. I can be reached at [Your Contact Information] or via email at [Your Email Address]. Thank you for your immediate attention and cooperation in rectifying this issue.
