I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning issue regarding the doors in the property I am currently renting at [Rental Property Address]. As your tenant, it is my responsibility to maintain a safe and habitable living environment; however, I am afraid that the condition of the doors poses a serious threat to my safety and security.

Backdoor: — The outer panel of the door is severely damaged, compromising its structural integrity and leaving it vulnerable to unauthorized access. — The doorknob is loose, making it difficult to open and close the door smoothly. 3. Balcony Door: — The sliding mechanism is malfunctioning, making it arduous to open and close the door without excessive force and noise. — The weatherstripping is worn out, leading to air drafts and compromised insulation, which affects the energy efficiency of the property.

As per the terms of our lease agreement and the Florida Landlord-Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II), it is your legal obligation as the landlord to provide and maintain habitable premises.
