The leakage has escalated recently, with water pooling on the floor, causing damage to the surrounding fixtures, and creating an unsanitary and hazardous environment.

Not only is it hindering my daily activities, but it is also causing damage to the property, which I am committed to maintain in good condition as per our lease agreement. The consistent water leakage has not only affected my personal belongings but is also creating an environment prone to mold growth, which may lead to potential health hazards. 4. Requested Actions: In light of the circumstances, I kindly demand the following actions be taken: a. Immediate repair of the plumbing issue by a licensed and experienced plumber. b. Thorough assessment of the entire plumbing system to identify and address any potential underlying issues contributing to the problem. c. Replacement or repair of any damaged fixtures, surfaces, or items resulting from the plumbing issue. d.
