Additionally, kindly provide a timeline for when the repairs will be completed. If necessary, I am more than willing to grant access to the property at a mutually convenient time, or you can make prior arrangements with me for the repairs to take place in my absence. Please understand that my purpose in writing this letter is to resolve the plumbing issue amicably and restore the habitability of my rented premises. However, if my concerns are not adequately addressed and the repairs are not conducted within a reasonable time frame, I may be forced to exercise my rights under the California Civil Code, including pursuing legal remedies, seeking reimbursement for any expenses incurred due to this maintenance negligence, and potentially withholding rent as allowed by law. I hope it does not come to that, and we can resolve this matter promptly and cooperatively. I trust that, as my landlord, you value the well-being and satisfaction of your tenants, and I anticipate your immediate action in addressing this plumbing problem.
