Bathroom Door: — Description of damages: The bathroom door handle is broken, preventing it from securely latching. It swings open, causing inconvenience and diminishing privacy while using the bathroom. — Potential risks: The inability to latch the bathroom door adequately infringes upon my privacy, which is a crucial aspect of my accommodation rights as a tenant. 3. Bedroom Door: — Description of damages: The bedroom door lock mechanism is faulty, leading to difficulties when locking and unlocking the door. This jeopardizes my privacy and the security of my personal belongings within the room. — Potential risks: The malfunctioning lock on the bedroom door undermines both my sense of security and the trust I place in maintaining the privacy of my rented space. Given the seriousness of these maintenance issues, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to rectify the problems within a reasonable timeframe. In accordance with Colorado Tenant-Landlord Regulations, I kindly ask you to initiate repairs within [specify a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] of receiving this letter.

Please inform me promptly, in writing, of your planned course of action to address these concerns. If necessary, I am prepared to cooperate with the repair process by providing access to my unit at a mutually agreeable time.
