Subject: Urgent Notice of Premises Leak During Rain and Request for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a pressing issue that requires your prompt action. As a tenant at [Apartment/Property Address] in Oakland, Michigan, I would like to notify you of a persistent problem that has arisen — leakage during rainstorms. Since the start of the rainy season, I have noticed significant water infiltration in the premises, particularly in [specific areas/spaces]. The leaks have been consistent and seem to intensify with each rainfall. This issue is both concerning and inconvenient, compromising the habitability and safety of the rental property. As a responsible tenant, I have taken necessary precautions, such as placing buckets and towels to mitigate the damage caused by the leaks. However, these temporary measures are not sufficient, and a professional assessment and repair are imperative to prevent further harm to the property and its occupants. Considering the severity of the leaks, I kindly request that you arrange for a qualified and licensed professional contractor to conduct a thorough inspection of the premises. The inspection should encompass the affected areas, including both exterior and interior components that might contribute to the leakage. Please ensure that the inspection is scheduled as soon as possible to address this issue promptly. Once the root cause(s) are identified, I request that the necessary repairs be initiated without delay to restore the property to a habitable state. Leaving these leaks unattended can lead to severe consequences such as mold growth, structural damage, and potential health hazards. As your tenant, I have diligently upheld my responsibilities by paying my rent on time and maintaining the property in good condition. I trust that you will reciprocate by swiftly resolving this matter. Furthermore, as per our rental agreement and the laws governing tenancy in Michigan, it is your legal obligation to guarantee habitability and adequately maintain the property. Failure to respond to this notice and take the necessary actions within a reasonable period may result in invoking legal rights that ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. In summary, please take immediate action to: 1. Arrange for a professional inspection of the property to identify the cause(s) of the leaks. 2. Promptly address and repair the identified issue(s) to prevent further damage or inconvenience. 3. Restore the property to its habitable state in compliance with the terms of our rental agreement and applicable laws. I kindly request a written acknowledgement of this notice and a specific timeline within which I can expect the repairs to be completed. This information will be helpful for me to plan accordingly and ensure access to the premises during the repair process. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. I trust that you will make this repair a priority and resolve the leaks promptly to maintain a safe and livable environment for all residents. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
