Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically broken plumbing. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that immediate repairs be made within ten days. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious plumbing problem that needs immediate attention in the rental property located at [property address] in Middlesex, Massachusetts. I have observed and experienced several issues related to the plumbing system that require urgent repair. Firstly, there are frequent occurrences of water leaks in various areas of the property, including the kitchen, bathroom, and utility room. These leaks not only waste water but also pose a potential risk of damage to the property, belongings, and even the health and safety of the residents. The constant moisture has also led to the growth of mold in certain areas, presenting health hazards. Secondly, the water pressure in all faucets, showers, and toilets is significantly low, making it extremely inconvenient for daily use. It takes an excessively long time to fill up sinks, and showering has become a tedious task due to the lack of adequate water flow. This issue not only affects our comfort but also hampers our ability to carry out basic tasks efficiently. In addition, there have been instances where the sewage system has backed up, resulting in foul odors and the risk of raw sewage flooding into the property. This is not only unpleasant but also poses a significant health risk to all residents. I understand that repairs can be costly and time-consuming; however, it is important to address these issues promptly to avoid further damage and inconvenience. As a responsible tenant, I have ensured that these problems are not a result of our negligence or misuse. According to the lease agreement and the Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Chapter 186, Section 14, it is the landlord's obligation to maintain the premises in a habitable condition, including ensuring proper working plumbing. I request that you take immediate action to address these plumbing issues within the next seven days. Should you fail to make the necessary repairs within the specified timeframe, I may be compelled to pursue legal remedies available to me, such as withholding rent, terminating the lease agreement, or even reporting the issue to relevant local authorities. I strongly believe that by working together to resolve these plumbing problems, we can ensure the continued satisfaction and well-being of both tenants and landlord. Your prompt attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you soon to discuss the planned actions and schedule for repairs. Please contact me at [contact number] or via email at [email address]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]
