This is a sample letter from the Tenant to a Landlord. This letter is used as a Notice to the Landlord that the premises' doors are broken and need immediate repair.
Subject: Urgent Notice — Repair Request for Broken Doors in [Address] [Date] [Landlord's Full 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 this letter to bring to your attention a pressing matter regarding the serious state of disrepair of the doors at [Address]. I regret to inform you that multiple doors in the premises have broken down, creating unsafe and inconvenient living conditions. First and foremost, I would like to highlight the specific doors in need of immediate attention: 1. Front Door: The front door's lock mechanism has completely failed, rendering it unable to properly secure the property. With this issue unresolved, there is an increased risk of unauthorized access or potential break-ins. It is of utmost importance to rectify this situation promptly for the safety and peace of mind of all residents. 2. Balcony Door: The balcony door is severely damaged, inhibiting its functionality and compromising both the security and aesthetic appeal. The door no longer shuts properly, leaving gaps which permit drafts, moisture, and even insects to enter the apartment. This could lead to increased energy costs, moisture-related damage to personal belongings, and potential health hazards. 3. Bedroom Door: One of the bedroom doors in the unit has become completely detached from its hinges, causing it to hang precariously and obstruct the doorway. This poses a significant safety risk, particularly in emergencies, and inconveniences everyday living. As a tenant, I believe it is essential to maintain the rental property in proper working order, and such an issue should be resolved promptly. I must stress the urgency of addressing these concerns as soon as possible. It is my understanding that, as a responsible landlord, you are committed to providing safe and habitable living conditions for your tenants. Non-functional doors not only compromise the security of the property, but they also violate my rights as a tenant to enjoy reasonable comfort and convenience. According to Indiana Code 32-31-8-5, landlords are obligated to repair or remedy any defective condition that materially affects the health or safety of tenants within a reasonable time frame. Thus, I kindly request that you take immediate action to repair the aforementioned doors. Please let me know your earliest availability to inspect and arrange for the necessary repairs. If you are unable to conduct the repairs yourself, I would appreciate it if you could engage a certified professional to rectify the situation promptly. To ensure a timely resolution, I request to be informed of the repair schedule, including an estimated start and completion date. Should there be any expenses associated with door repairs, I trust that you will assume the financial responsibility, as it is your duty to maintain the premises in habitable condition throughout the duration of our lease agreement. I believe that open communication is crucial in resolving issues effectively, and I look forward to your prompt attention and cooperation in this matter. Failure to address these concerns may leave me with no choice but to explore other legal avenues available to protect my rights and seek appropriate remedies. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will act promptly to ensure the necessary repairs are carried out at the earliest convenience.
