I am writing to bring your attention to several critical maintenance concerns regarding the floors, stairs, and railings in the rental property located at [Rental Property Address]. As your tenant, I have observed significant issues that require immediate attention to ensure both my safety and that of other residents. 1. Damaged Floors: The condition of the flooring in various rooms of the rental property is quickly deteriorating. I have noticed sagging floorboards, cracks and gaps between floorboards, and areas where the floor feels unstable underfoot. These hazards pose a serious risk of injury to tenants and guests, and they require prompt repair to avoid accidents. 2. Unsafe Stairs: The stairs leading to and within the rental property have become a significant safety concern. Some steps are loose, wobbly, or broken, significantly increasing the risk of falls or accidents. These structural issues demand urgent attention and thorough repair to prevent potential injuries and legal liabilities. 3. Railing Deficiencies: The absence of secure and well-maintained railings in critical areas of the rental property is another alarming matter. Where railings do exist, they are wobbly, rusted, or show signs of severe deterioration. As a tenant, I request that you promptly address these concerns and ensure the installation of sturdy railings along all staircases, decks, and common areas for adequate safety measures. Given the urgency of these repairs, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the aforementioned issues within [time frame, such as 14 days] to avoid any further risk to tenants' well-being.
