[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Notice of Premises Leaking During Rain and Demand for Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a recurring issue that needs immediate attention: there is a severe leakage problem in my rented property located at [Your Address], Tampa, Florida, whenever it rains. As a tenant, I have noticed that every time it rains, water infiltrates the premises, causing damage to my personal belongings and posing a potential health hazard. This issue has become more frequent recently, and despite my efforts to mitigate the damage, it has become unmanageable. The leaks occur primarily in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom areas. During each rainstorm, water seeps through the ceiling, walls, and windows, creating an untenable living condition. The moisture has caused mold growth on the walls, leading to an unhealthy environment. It is evident that there are significant structural deficiencies in the property that need immediate repair. In addition to the damaged personal belongings, I am also concerned about potential health risks associated with the mold and moisture. Continuous exposure to mold can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and even more serious health issues. As your tenant, I believe it is your responsibility to ensure a safe and habitable living space, free from leaks and consequential mold growth. I request that you take immediate action to address these issues by: 1. Conducting a thorough investigation of the property to identify the source(s) of the leakage. 2. Engaging a qualified and licensed contractor to carry out the necessary repairs promptly. 3. Ensuring that the repairs are comprehensive and effective to prevent further leaks during rainstorms. 4. Remedying any damage caused by the leakage, including replacing damaged drywall, flooring, and any other affected structures. 5. Implementing measures to address the mold growth and ensure a healthy living space, including professional mold remediation, if required. Please treat this issue with the urgency it warrants, as it significantly affects my quality of life as a tenant. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 days] to acknowledge receipt of this notice and provide a detailed plan of action outlining when the repairs will commence and a proposed timeline for completion. If you fail to address this matter promptly, I may be forced to seek legal remedies and withhold rent until the necessary repairs are made. However, I hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and maintain a good landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] to discuss further details or to arrange a convenient time for property inspection.
