Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Rain Leakage in [Apartment Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to inform you about a pressing issue in my apartment at [Apartment Address] in Daly City, California. Unfortunately, during rainstorms, significant water leaks have been occurring, causing inconvenience and potential damage to personal belongings. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you promptly so that necessary repairs can be executed to prevent further damages. The leaks primarily originate from the roof and are noticeable in various areas of the apartment, including [provide specific areas such as living room, bathroom, or bedroom]. These leaks have progressively worsened over the past few weeks and now pose a more severe threat to the structural integrity of the premises. The constant presence of water has already caused damage to my personal property, including furniture, carpets, and electronics. Given the potential health hazards associated with moisture, such as mold and mildew growth, urgent attention to this issue is highly necessary. I believe that prompt repair and restoration can mitigate any potential long-term structural damage and health risks for both myself and future occupants of the apartment. In light of the situation, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address and rectify the leakage issue at the earliest convenience. I highly recommend engaging a professional, licensed roofing contractor to inspect the roof and identify the source of the leaks. Additionally, please ensure that any subsequent repair work is carried out by experienced professionals in compliance with local building codes and regulations. Please be aware that as a tenant, I have the right to enjoy a safe and habitable living environment as per the terms of our rental agreement. The California Civil Code Section 1941 outlines the landlord's obligation to maintain the premises in a habitable condition, including proper weather protection. Failure to address this issue within a reasonable time frame could potentially result in further damage, compromising the overall habitability of the apartment. To ensure effective communication and documentation, I have attached photographs and videos of the leak occurrences for your reference. It is my sincere hope that we can cooperate in resolving this matter promptly, retaining the amicable landlord-tenant relationship we have enjoyed thus far. I kindly request a prompt response from you, acknowledging receipt of this letter and outlining your plan of action for repairing the rain leaks. Should you require further information or access to the premises for inspection purposes, please contact me at [Your Contact Number] or [Your Email Address]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. I trust that we can resolve the situation promptly and maintain the high living standards expected of this property.
