I am writing to inform you of a persistent issue in the rented premises located at [property address], Riverside, California. It has come to my attention that the property suffers from substantial leaks during rainfall, which poses a significant inconvenience and potential damage to my personal property.

In addition to the immediate repair of existing leaks, I also request that you implement measures to prevent future occurrences. This may include a thorough examination of the roofing system, windows, and any other areas where water ingress may be possible. A proactive approach to maintenance will not only protect the property but also preserve its value over time. Please be advised that if the necessary repairs are not initiated within a reasonable period, I will have no choice but to seek legal intervention and possibly pursue remedies available to me under California law.
