Subject: Urgent Repair Request: Premises Leaking During Rain Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue with the premises I am renting at [Property Address], specifically regarding persistent leaks during rainstorms. This issue has become increasingly problematic and is in need of immediate repair to avoid further damage to the property. As a responsible tenant, I have observed and documented the leaking issue over the past few rainy seasons. Each time it rains, water infiltrates the interior of the premises through various areas, including the ceiling, walls, and windows. This continuous leakage has led to damage to my personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, and even potential health hazards such as mold growth. It is vital to address this problem promptly as further delay could worsen the situation both structurally and financially. I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to arrange for a professional inspection and subsequent repairs by a licensed contractor experienced in fixing waterproofing issues and other related damages caused by rain infiltration. In the interest of resolving this matter efficiently, I propose the following actions: 1. Immediate Inspection: Please arrange for a qualified professional to conduct a thorough inspection of the premises to identify the location, cause, and extent of the leaks. This will help determine the appropriate course of action required for repair. 2. Timely Repair: Once the inspection is complete, I kindly request that all necessary repairs be performed promptly. This should include fixing any existing leaks, replacing damaged materials, and ensuring the premises are watertight during periods of rain. 3. Regular Maintenance: To avoid future occurrences and to uphold the integrity of the property, I strongly recommend implementing a preventative maintenance plan. This would include regular inspections and repairs as required to address any vulnerabilities caused by weather conditions. 4. Notification: Please keep me informed throughout the repair process, providing updates on the steps being taken and the expected timeline for completion. This will enable me to plan accordingly and make necessary arrangements considering the potential disruption to my daily living. I want to emphasize the urgency of this matter and ensure that repairing the leaks becomes a priority. Furthermore, I would like to remind you of your responsibility as a landlord to provide a safe and habitable living environment, as outlined in the lease agreement and state law. In the event that this issue is not addressed promptly, I am obligated to explore other legal avenues and remedies, which may include seeking rent abatement or termination of the lease due to breached warranty of habitability. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and a written response outlining the steps you plan to take to address these leaks by [reasonable deadline, e.g., within 14 days]. Please consider this letter as an official notice regarding the leak issue, and I strongly urge you to take appropriate action in the most expedient manner possible. I anticipate your cooperation and look forward to a timely resolution. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
