Type 1: Chico California Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Urgent Repairs: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention some urgent repairs that require immediate attention within the rental property located at [property address]. Despite our previous communications regarding these issues, they still remain unresolved, and it is greatly affecting my living conditions. Firstly, the plumbing system in the bathroom has been consistently clogged for the past month. This has caused frequent water backups, which not only stink up the entire apartment but also pose a health hazard. I have attempted to unclog it using conventional methods, but the problem persists, indicating a deeper issue that requires professional repair. Additionally, the living room ceiling has developed a persistent leak, especially during heavy rainfall. This has resulted in water stains and an unpleasant odor. I have placed buckets to collect the water, but this temporary solution no longer suffices, as it is damaging the ceiling and putting me at risk of mold and mildew growth. Furthermore, the front door lock has been faulty for quite some time now. It often jams, making it difficult for me to enter or exit the property. This poses a potential safety concern, as I am unable to secure the door properly. As a responsible and reliable tenant, I have paid my rent promptly every month and have taken meticulous care of the property. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address the above-mentioned issues. According to our lease agreement and California's landlord-tenant laws, it is your responsibility to ensure the habitability of the rental premises. I respectfully ask for a prompt response to this matter, detailing the steps you will take to rectify the issues raised. Should the repairs not be initiated within a reasonable timeframe, I may have to consider alternative actions to protect my rights as a tenant. However, I hope it will not come to that, and we can resolve these concerns amicably. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Contact Information] Type 2: Chico California Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Non-urgent Repairs: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address some maintenance concerns regarding the rental property at [property address] that have recently arisen. While these issues are not critical, they still require your attention to ensure the proper functioning and preservation of the property. Firstly, the bathroom faucet has been leaking consistently for the past two weeks. Although it is not causing any immediate damage, it is wasteful and could result in higher utility costs. I kindly request that you arrange for a plumber to fix the leak as soon as possible. Secondly, the bedroom window has developed a draft, which allows cold air to enter during the evening. As a result, my personal comfort and energy efficiency are compromised. It would be greatly appreciated if you could send a maintenance professional to investigate and remedy the draft issue. Lastly, the kitchen cabinet door hinge is broken, causing the door to hang loosely. This not only affects the visual aesthetics but may also lead to further damage if left unattended. It would be great to have a repair person come to fix the hinge in the near future. As a tenant who respects the property, I kindly request that you prioritize these maintenance tasks and assign the necessary professionals to handle them. I understand that repairs of this nature may not require immediate attention, but addressing them in a timely manner will contribute to the overall wellbeing of the rental property. I would appreciate receiving a written response within [reasonable timeframe] confirming your intention to schedule the repairs. If you require any further information or access to the property, please do not hesitate to contact me. Your prompt attention to these matters is sincerely appreciated. Thank you for your cooperation.
