Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This letter is written by a Tenant to Landlord requesting again that Landlord make repairs to leased premises that Tenant had previously requested. Tenant reserves the right to take legal action against Landlord including the right to sue for available relief. Subject: Urgent Notice Regarding Repairs — Tenant's Complaint Letter to the Landlord in Elgin, Illinois Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the unresolved maintenance issues present at my rental property located at [Property Address]. As your tenant, I have tried to address these concerns multiple times through previous communications, but unfortunately, no action has been taken to rectify the situation thus far. It is important to emphasize that my decision to contact you in such a formal manner stems from the seriousness of these unresolved repairs which have significantly impacted my comfort and safety. As my lease agreement clearly outlines your responsibility for repairs and maintenance, I kindly request your immediate attention to the following issues: 1. Water Leakage: The persistent water leakage from the ceiling in the bathroom has escalated to an alarming level. Despite repeated verbal requests, the issue remains unaddressed, causing mold growth and potential structural damage. This poses a clear health hazard and compromises the livability of the property. 2. Electric Wiring Issues: There are recurring electrical disturbances that pose potential fire hazards within the premises. Faulty wiring has resulted in frequent power surges, flickering lights, and exposed outlets. This situation demands urgent assessment and repair to ensure the safety of both myself and the property. 3. Heating and Cooling System: The HVAC system has continually failed to provide adequate heating during the winter and cooling during the summer. The lack of temperature regulation has not only affected my well-being but also contributed to the formation of mold and harmful allergens, affecting my health and creating an uncomfortable living environment. 4. Plumbing Concerns: The inconsistent water pressure in the kitchen and bathroom has been a persisting issue, causing great inconvenience in carrying out daily chores. Additionally, the clogged drains in both areas have rendered the sink and shower unusable, impeding basic hygiene practices. 5. Security Measures: The malfunctioning front door lock has compromised the security of the unit. Despite several notifications, neither has it been replaced nor properly repaired. This poses a serious concern for my personal safety and the overall security of the property. I understand that managing multiple properties can be challenging, but I implore you to prioritize these repairs immediately to ensure my well-being and the significance of maintaining a habitable living environment. As your tenant, I have fulfilled all my responsibilities by paying rent on time and taking good care of the property. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] and specify the course of action you intend to take to address these issues. Failure to respond promptly or neglecting to initiate the necessary repairs may leave me no choice but to explore alternative avenues to assert my rights as a tenant, which may involve filing a formal complaint with the relevant authorities. I genuinely hope that we can resolve these issues amicably and maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. I look forward to hearing from you soon and appreciate your immediate attention to these pressing matters.
