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 Request for Prompt Repairs — Shreveport, Louisiana Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter that requires immediate attention and resolution. As your tenant residing at [property address], I have been facing chronic issues with the premises that have remained unaddressed for an extended period. Thus, it is crucial that I communicate my concerns and dissatisfaction regarding your failure to make necessary repairs. I genuinely believe that every tenant deserves a safe, well-maintained living environment within the rental property. Unfortunately, this has not been the case during my tenancy. Listed below are the specific issues that have been reported to you on numerous occasions: 1. Water Leakage: The ceiling in the bathroom has been consistently leaking, resulting in damage to the walls, paint, and even affecting the flooring in severe cases. Despite multiple notifications, this problem remains unresolved, and the water damage continues to worsen each day. 2. Plumbing: The plumbing system within the property is faulty, leading to frequent clogs, slow drainage, and occasional sewage backup. These plumbing issues not only cause inconvenience but also pose health and sanitation risks. 3. Electrical Problems: Persistent electrical issues have been very concerning. Faulty wiring, frequent power outages, and malfunctioning electrical fixtures have put us at risk of potential accidents and property damage. Ignoring these safety hazards has created an unsafe living environment for myself and other tenants. 4. HVAC System: The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system in my unit is in dire need of repair. Inadequate cooling during summers and lack of heating during winters have made living conditions unbearable at times, affecting my comfort and productivity in the apartment significantly. 5. Pest Infestation: Despite my vigilant efforts to maintain cleanliness, the property has been increasingly plagued by pests (e.g., cockroaches, ants, and rodents). These infestations are undesirable, unsanitary, and require immediate intervention. I understand that property maintenance may involve unforeseen delays, but these issues have remained unattended for an unreasonable period, leading to severe inconvenience and potential health and safety hazards. As a responsible tenant, I have upheld my end of the lease agreement by paying rent on time and keeping the property clean. Consequently, I kindly request that you take the necessary measures to rectify these concerns within a reasonable timeframe. In accordance with the terms outlined in the lease agreement, I urge you to fulfill your legal obligation as a landlord by arranging for repairs to commence at the earliest convenience. Should these concerns remain unaddressed, I may be left with no other alternative than to explore legal remedies, including requesting reimbursement for any expenses incurred and pursuing other available remedies under state law. I trust that you understand the urgency and importance of resolving the aforementioned issues promptly. I genuinely hope that we can work together to ensure the property is brought up to acceptable living standards. Furthermore, I request written acknowledgment of receipt of this letter and a confirmed timeline for when repairs will commence. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I anticipate a prompt response and swift action to rectify the situation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Contact Information]
