Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Windows — Tenant to Landlord [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring a pressing matter to your immediate attention regarding the state of my rental unit located at [property address], in beautiful Pompano Beach, Florida. First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for providing me with a comfortable living space that I call home. However, there is a concerning issue that needs urgent rectification for both safety and security reasons. The windows at my rental unit have suffered damage and are currently in a state of disrepair, compromising the overall integrity of the property and jeopardizing my well-being as a tenant. As you are aware, functioning windows are essential for proper ventilation, insulation, and protection against external elements. Regrettably, the broken windows are posing several immediate issues: 1. Security Hazard: The damaged windows make it easier for unauthorized individuals to gain access to the property, potentially increasing the risk of burglary or vandalism. 2. Safety Concern: The sharp glass edges and exposed frames pose a significant safety risk, especially during severe weather conditions such as storms or hurricanes, which are frequent in this coastal area. 3. Reduced Energy Efficiency: The broken windows allow drafts to enter the property, causing energy inefficiency and ultimately leading to increased utility costs for both of us. 4. Aesthetics and Property Value: The visual appearance of the damaged windows diminishes the overall appeal of the property, impacting its marketability and potential rental value. Considering the urgency and potential implications associated with this matter, I kindly request that you take immediate action to repair or replace the broken windows at your earliest convenience. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, such as awaiting insurance approval or scheduling conflicts, but I implore you to prioritize this issue to ensure my safety, comfort, and satisfaction as a tenant. I suggest that we work together to promptly resolve this matter by setting a mutually agreed-upon date for the repair work to commence, or by allowing me to hire a reputable contractor at your expense to facilitate the window repairs. By doing so, we can ensure that the necessary repairs are conducted efficiently and professionally. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter within [reasonable timeframe], and provide me with a written confirmation outlining your proposed plan of action to address the broken windows. I firmly believe that effective communication and collaboration will lead to a swift resolution of this issue. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you share my concern for maintaining a safe, secure, and habitable living environment. Furthermore, I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your immediate action.
