Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Windows in [Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to the critical issue of broken windows in my rental unit at [Property Address]. This letter serves as a formal demand for immediate repairs to ensure the safety, security, and habitability of the premises, as required by both our rental agreement and Florida law. As a responsible tenant, I have taken utmost care of the property during my tenancy. However, despite my best efforts, the windows in my unit have suffered significant damage, rendering them non-functional and jeopardizing the safety of both myself and the property. The broken windows pose several concerning issues that require your immediate attention: 1. Security: With broken windows, the security of the property is severely compromised. It exposes the premises to trespassing, theft, and potential vandalism. I have made temporary repairs to secure the area as good as I could, but it is imperative that the windows be promptly fixed to maintain the integrity of the unit. 2. Safety: Broken windows pose a considerable safety risk, especially during severe weather conditions or unfortunate events like accidents or break-ins. The unrepaired windows hinder the ability to open, close, or lock them properly, putting me at an increased risk of harm. 3. Energy Efficiency: The malfunctioning windows compromise the energy efficiency of the unit. They allow air leakage, making it challenging to maintain a comfortable living environment and leading to increased energy consumption. This issue directly affects my utility bills, and I expect reasonable expenses to be reimbursed accordingly. I kindly request that you take immediate action to address this matter in accordance with your obligations as a landlord and as stipulated in our rental agreement. Your prompt response and resolution to this issue will help maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship and ensure a habitable living space for both parties. I kindly ask for the following steps to be taken: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of damage to the windows. 2. Arrange for qualified professionals to repair or replace the broken windows with high-quality materials to guarantee durability. 3. Ensure that the repairs meet all required safety and building codes. 4. Provide me with a written timeline outlining the window repair process, keeping in mind the urgency of the situation. 5. Consider the potential reimbursement for any reasonable expenses I incurred due to the broken windows, particularly any increased utility costs. I kindly request your written confirmation of receipt of this letter and your commitment to resolving the issue promptly. If I do not receive a response within a reasonable time, or if the necessary repairs are not carried out, I may have no choice but to exercise my legal rights under the Florida laws governing landlord-tenant relationships. I trust that we both share the common goal of maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment. Therefore, I urge you to address this repair request with the utmost urgency. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to a favorable resolution.
