Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically broken doors in the property. With this form, the tenant makes a request for repair pursuant to the lease. Subject: Urgent Repair Notice — Broken Doors in Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing matter that requires immediate action regarding our rental property located at [address]. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that multiple doors in the property are currently broken, and I kindly request your prompt assistance in rectifying this issue. As a responsible tenant, I understand the importance of maintaining the property's condition, and I believe it is equally important for the landlord to fulfill their duties in ensuring the safety and security of the premises. It is with great concern that I report the following damages: 1. Front Door: — Description of the damage: The front door is extremely difficult to close, presenting a serious security risk. — Impact on safety: This issue compromises the safety of both the property and its occupants, as it allows unauthorized access. 2. Back Door: — Description of the damage: The back door lock is dysfunctional and cannot be properly secured. — Impact on safety: Our property is vulnerable to break-ins, making it unsafe for us to reside here without functioning security measures. 3. Balcony Door: — Description of the damage: The balcony door handle is broken, making it unsafe to open or close. — Impact on comfort and safety: The inability to access the balcony poses a significant inconvenience, especially concerning emergencies or for fresh air circulation. These broken doors not only compromise our safety but also violate the terms of our lease agreement, which requires the landlord to ensure the habitability of the rental property. As a tenant, I understand that regular wear and tear occur, but these damaged doors demand immediate attention to ensure a safe and secure living environment. In compliance with the Louisiana Tenant-Landlord Law, particularly Section [specific section number] which addresses repairs and maintenance, I hereby request that all necessary repairs be performed promptly. The repairs should encompass fixing or replacing the broken doors along with any associated hardware or locks required to reinstate the property's security. I kindly ask you to acknowledge this written notice within [reasonable timeline, e.g., 24 hours] and commence repairs immediately thereafter. If I do not receive a response or if the necessary repairs are neglected, I regretfully inform you that I may be forced to exercise my rights as a tenant under both state and local laws, which may include withholding rent, seeking legal remedies, or terminating our lease agreement. I have always appreciated your prompt attention to concerns in the past, and I trust that you will handle this matter with the same urgency and professionalism. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the repair process and arrange a suitable timeline for completion. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
