I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent issue regarding the broken windows in my rental property located at [Property Address] in Rockford, Illinois. I kindly request that you take immediate action to repair these windows to ensure the safety, security, and comfort of both myself and my family. Firstly, let me describe the situation in detail. Upon moving into the property on [Move-in Date], I immediately noticed that several windows are severely damaged, cracked, or completely broken. This not only compromises the visual appeal of the property but also poses significant safety concerns. The broken windows allow outside elements like wind, rain, and pests to enter the premises, which can result in potential damage to the interior and personal belongings. Moreover, the broken windows create security risks, making it easier for unauthorized individuals to gain access to the property. As a tenant, it is our right to feel safe and secure in our own home, and these broken windows significantly undermine that sense of security. Additionally, the broken windows have a direct impact on the energy efficiency of the property. They contribute to excessive air leakage, resulting in higher energy bills and reduced indoor comfort. This not only affects my family's well-being but also has a negative environmental impact. Considering the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you take prompt action to repair the broken windows. According to the Illinois Landlord and Tenant Act, it is explicitly stated that it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the property in a habitable condition. By failing to address this significant issue, you are potentially violating your legal obligations as a landlord. I kindly request that you, within [reasonable timeframe] of receiving this letter, arrange for a qualified contractor to assess the damage and carry out the necessary repairs. In doing so, you will not only fulfill your legal obligations but also ensure that the rental property remains in compliance with all safety, security, and habitability standards. If I do not receive a satisfactory response or see any efforts made towards resolving this issue within the stated timeframe, I may have no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under Illinois state law. I hope we can resolve this issue amicably and promptly. I value being a responsible and respectful tenant, and I believe that you, as a landlord, also prioritize the well-being of your tenants. Furthermore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address this matter. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
