Property and Belongings at Risk: The presence of water leaks threatens the safety and integrity of my personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, and important documents. Immediate attention is crucial to prevent irreversible damage and financial loss. 4. Tenant Discomfort: The persistent leaks have caused significant inconveniences, especially during rainstorms. It is imperative to ensure a safe and habitable living environment, which aligns with the terms of our rental agreement. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, I hereby request the following actions from your end: 1. Immediate Inspection: I urge you to arrange for a thorough inspection of the premises by a qualified professional to assess the extent of the water leakage, identify its origin, and propose effective remediation measures. 2. Prompt Repair: Following the inspection, I expect you to promptly initiate the necessary repairs to rectify the source of the leaks, restore the affected areas, and ensure the property's structural integrity and safety. 3. Communication and Updates: I kindly request frequent updates regarding the progress of the repairs, including any anticipated timeframes for completion. Regular communication will help facilitate transparent and efficient resolution of this issue. 4.
