Subject: Urgent Maintenance Request: Notice of Leaking Premises During Rainfall Dear [Landlord's Full Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I would like to bring to your attention an urgent issue that requires immediate attention at my rental property, [Address of the Premises]. It is with great concern that I inform you that the premises exhibit severe leakage problems during rainy weather conditions, affecting my safety, comfort, and the integrity of the property. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to promptly notify you of this matter as outlined in our lease agreement, which places the responsibility of repairs upon the landlord. I kindly request your immediate action to address this issue and undertake the necessary repairs at the earliest convenience. The following details provide a comprehensive overview of the leaks and damages experienced during rainfall: 1. Roof Leaks: — The roof continues to leak in multiple places during moderate to heavy rainfall. — Water ingress is primarily observed in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom areas. — These leaks have resulted in wet patches on the walls, ceiling damage, and deteriorating paintwork. — The adjacent flooring also gets damp and poses a potential safety hazard to occupants. 2. Window and Door Leaks: — Rainwater infiltrates through various windows, especially those with worn-out weather stripping or seals. — The integrity of several doors is compromised, as water seeps in near the bottom, leading to water damage on the flooring. 3. Plumbing and Drainage Issues: — Occasional leaks are observed in the bathroom plumbing fixtures, including the sink, shower, and toilet. — Inadequate drainage mechanisms have also contributed to water accumulation during rainstorms, notably in the backyard and near the entrance door. The current state of the property in regard to these persistent leaks has resulted in significant inconvenience, discomfort, and potential damage to my personal belongings. Moreover, these leaks have the potential to give rise to mold growth, compromising the indoor air quality and jeopardizing the health of the occupants. In light of these circumstances, I kindly request that you take immediate and appropriate actions to rectify these leaks and restore the premises to a safe and habitable condition. I kindly request that you engage qualified professionals to assess the extent of the damages, propose necessary repairs, and conduct them diligently to prevent further harm. Please be advised that in accordance with California law and our lease agreement, I expect to have these repairs completed within a reasonable time frame, not exceeding 30 days from the date of this notice. I kindly urge you to promptly acknowledge this letter and provide a clear outline of how you intend to rectify this issue. I trust that you understand the urgency and gravity of this situation and will act swiftly to ensure my satisfaction as a valued tenant. Furthermore, I have been a diligent and responsible tenant throughout my stay and hope that this matter will be resolved amicably and within the confines of the law. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your prompt response and resolving this issue promptly.
