Subject: Urgent Repairs Request — Plumbing Issue at [Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a pressing matter that urgently requires your prompt action. I have been experiencing significant plumbing issues in my rented property located at [Address] in Detroit, Michigan. As per our lease agreement, it is your responsibility to ensure that all necessary repairs and maintenance tasks are carried out promptly. Firstly, I have noticed a persistent leak from the bathroom sink. Despite my attempts to fix it temporarily, the problem persists and seems to be worsening by the day. This persistent leakage not only causes inconvenience but has also started to damage the cabinetry and surrounding tiles. Additionally, the excessive water seepage poses a potential risk to the structural integrity of the bathroom, which may result in higher repair costs in the future if left unattended. Furthermore, the toilet in the property has been malfunctioning. The flush mechanism has been inconsistent, resulting in incomplete flushing and often leading to frequent clogging. This has resulted in unsanitary conditions, creating an uncomfortable living environment. It is essential that you address this issue urgently to prevent any further inconvenience or health hazards. In line with my responsibilities as a tenant, I have consistently reported these issues to your maintenance department over the past three weeks. Unfortunately, no action has been taken so far, and the problems continue to persist. These plumbing problems impede my daily routine, compromise my living standards, and are unacceptable considering the rent I pay for this property. Therefore, I hereby demand an immediate response and action regarding the repairs needed. I kindly request that you arrange for a licensed plumber to inspect and fix the aforementioned plumbing problems within the next seven days. Additionally, I would appreciate clear communication regarding the date and time of the repair visit so that I can ensure someone is available to grant access to the property. Should you fail to act within the stipulated time frame, it may be necessary for me to explore other legal options available to me as a tenant to address this matter. I sincerely hope it does not come to that, as I believe in maintaining a positive and cooperative relationship between tenant and landlord. Please understand that my intention is solely to ensure the maintenance and proper functioning of the property, as well as to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that you will take immediate action to resolve these plumbing issues and restore the living conditions to a satisfactory standard without any further delays. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
