As you may be aware, we have been experiencing significant water leakage during rainstorms.

Description of the Problem: Despite attempts to prevent water from entering the unit during rainfall, it has become evident that the current roofing or plumbing infrastructure is unable to sufficiently repel the water.

Urgent action is necessary to resolve these issues before further damage occurs. Repair Demand: In light of the circumstances mentioned above, I kindly request that you immediately address the water leakage problem by hiring a professional contractor experienced in waterproofing and repairing roofs and plumbing systems. This expert should thoroughly inspect the property, identify the sources of leakage, and undertake the necessary repairs to ensure the unit's habitability during adverse weather conditions. Request for Temporary Accommodation: If the situation does not improve within a reasonable period, I would appreciate your consideration in providing me with temporary accommodation during the repair process. This would help minimize the potential damage to personal property and ensure our safety and well-being. Conclusion: I value our landlord-tenant relationship and believe that open communication is vital in maintaining a harmonious living environment. I remain optimistic that you will take prompt action to resolve this issue. Please let me know in writing within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7-10 days] how you plan to proceed. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that we can work together to restore the premises to a safe and habitable condition.
