[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention some urgent matters that require immediate attention regarding the condition of the floors, stairs, and railings at my rented premises located at [rental property address] in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I have been residing in the aforementioned rental property for [duration of tenancy] and have noticed significant deterioration in the condition of the floors, stairs, and railings that pose potential risks to my safety and that of my guests. It has become increasingly evident that these areas have not received the necessary maintenance and repairs, which not only compromises our safety but also violates the terms of our rental agreement. The floors in various rooms of the premises, including the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, have developed substantial cracks and structural damage, making them level and unstable. These hazardous conditions not only create an unpleasant living environment but also present tripping hazards that can result in serious injuries. Additionally, the stairs leading to the second floor exhibit loose and worn-out steps, making them susceptible to collapse under normal usage. Furthermore, the railings throughout the property, particularly on the staircase and balcony, are noticeably damaged, loose, and unstable. This jeopardizes the stability and support they are intended to provide, and poses severe safety risks, especially for individuals who rely on them for balance and support. In their current state, they are inadequate and fail to meet the housing safety standards required by law. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues by arranging for the necessary repairs and improvements to be conducted by qualified professionals. I expect that the repairs will include, but not be limited to, complete replacement or substantial repair of the floors, stairs, and railings to ensure they are stable, functional, and safe for use. I would appreciate it if you could respond promptly, confirming your commitment to address this matter and outline the timeline for the repair work to be completed. Please note that failure to take prompt action may result in putting my safety at further risk and could be considered as negligence on your part, which I would regretfully have to report to the appropriate housing authorities. I trust that you will treat this matter with the utmost urgency and prioritize the safety and well-being of your tenants. I value my tenancy and hope that our landlord-tenant relationship remains amicable, based on mutual respect and compliance with our legal obligations. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your prompt response.
