Subject: Urgent Repair Request: Broken Doors in [Apartment Address] [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue concerning the doors in my rented apartment at [Apartment Address] in Miramar, Florida. Unfortunately, I have discovered that multiple doors in my unit are broken, compromising both the security and convenience of the property. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is essential to promptly address these maintenance concerns in order to maintain a safe and habitable living environment for myself and fellow residents. The broken doors include the main entrance door, balcony door, and bedroom door. The defects I have observed consist of: 1. Main Entrance Door: — The door handle is loose and often fails to latch securely, posing a potential security risk. — The door frequently sticks, making it difficult to open and close smoothly. 2. Balcony Door: — The door lock mechanism is defective, rendering it ineffective in preventing unauthorized access. — The door tends to squeak loudly when opened, disturbing the peace and quiet of the apartment. 3. Bedroom Door: — The doorknob is loose, causing difficulties when opening or closing the door. — The door occasionally gets stuck and requires excessive force to open or close. These issues pose not only a convenience problem but also jeopardize the safety of my personal belongings and put my personal safety at risk. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these matters by arranging the necessary repairs. Given the significance of these maintenance concerns, I expect that the repairs be completed by [a reasonable time frame, e.g., within 7 days from the receipt of this notice]. As a tenant, I understand that maintenance requests can take time to fulfill, but I trust you will prioritize this matter due to its urgency.
