Title: Orlando Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Notice of Premises Leaking During Rain with Repair Demand Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a concerning issue regarding the premises I currently occupy at [property address]. Regrettably, during recent rainstorms, I have observed significant leaks within the property. I kindly request your prompt attention to resolve this matter, ensuring the necessary repairs are carried out without delay. Body: 1. Description of the Problem: During rainfall, water repeatedly infiltrates the premises, causing extensive damage to the interior walls, ceilings, and flooring. The leaks have become increasingly frequent and severe, putting my personal belongings at risk and compromising the habitability of the property. 2. Impact on Tenant: These leaks pose serious safety hazards such as potential electrical malfunctioning, slippery surfaces, and the growth of mold and mildew. Consequently, my quality of life has been significantly affected, and the damage caused to personal possessions has resulted in additional financial burdens. 3. Maintenance and Responsibility: As outlined in our lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the property is maintained in a habitable condition. The presence of leaks indicates a breach of this contractual obligation and therefore necessitates immediate action. 4.

Timely Repairs: I kindly urge you to initiate repairs immediately upon receiving the repair plan, ensuring all work is carried out by professionals in a timely manner. d. Cost Coverage: Given that the leaks are a result of normal wear and tear or improper construction, I expect that any repair costs associated with rectifying the leaks will be borne by the landlord, as per our lease agreement. 5. Renter's Rights: I would like to remind you that under Florida's Tenant Rights statute, I am entitled to a habitable living environment. Failure to rectify the leaks and address this matter promptly may leave me with no option but to explore the legal remedies available to protect my rights as a tenant.
