Type 1: South Bend Indiana Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Floors [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Request for Urgent Floor Repair in [Apartment/House Unit Number] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing matter regarding the deteriorating condition of the floors in my apartment/unit at [Address]. I would like to request immediate action on your part to rectify this issue. Over the past few months, I have noticed a significant decline in the quality and stability of the flooring throughout the premises. The once sturdy hardwood floors are now plagued with severe creaks, cracks, and uneven surfaces. These deficiencies not only compromise the aesthetic appeal of the space but also pose a notable safety hazard to me and other tenants. I am particularly concerned about the following areas within my unit: 1. Living Room: The floorboards in this area have become increasingly unstable, causing a dreadful noise with every step. It impairs my ability to entertain guests and has become a constant source of frustration. 2. Kitchen: The kitchen floor displays visible signs of buckling, which not only affects the overall functionality but also poses a tripping hazard. This compromises my safety and could lead to potential injuries. 3. Hallway/Entryway: The flooring in the common areas, specifically the hallway and entryway, has reached an alarming level of deterioration. The warped floorboards and loose tiles pose a significant risk to all residents and visitors entering or exiting the building. I kindly request that you arrange for a professional inspection of the aforementioned areas at the earliest convenience. Prompt repairs by a qualified contractor are crucial to ensuring the integrity and safety of the premises. As per my lease agreement, it is your responsibility, as the landlord, to maintain a habitable living environment. With this in mind, I urge you to take immediate action to schedule the necessary repairs to rectify the floor issues promptly. I trust that you understand the urgency of this matter and will prioritize the safety and well-being of your tenants. Furthermore, I kindly request that you provide me with a detailed timeline for the repair process and a written confirmation of your commitment to addressing this matter. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to receiving a response within the next seven days. Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation.
