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 am writing to bring to your attention a significant plumbing issue in my rented unit located at [address]. I have been facing persistent problems related to the plumbing system, which require immediate attention and repair. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you promptly about such maintenance concerns. Firstly, the main concern is the continuous leaking of the bathroom faucet in the master bedroom. Despite numerous attempts to fix it myself, the dripping not only persists but has worsened over time. This not only causes inconvenience but also significant water wastage, which may lead to increased utility bills. Moreover, the toilet in the second bathroom appears to be malfunctioning as well. It frequently gets clogged, resulting in an unpleasant and unhygienic situation. I have tried using various unclogging agents, but the problem persists. Considering this issue is affecting the usability of the bathroom, it is crucial to get it repaired promptly. Additionally, the kitchen sink has a slow drainage problem that has become progressively worse. It often takes an unreasonable amount of time for the sink to drain completely, causing standing water and creating an unsanitary environment for food preparation. This issue not only hampers regular kitchen activities but also poses health risks. I kindly request that you arrange for a professional plumber to address these plumbing issues without delay. Ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment should be a priority for both parties involved. The presence of functioning plumbing is vital for daily activities and maintaining a habitable space. According to the rental agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to handle and cover the costs of repairs pertaining to plumbing systems. I expect that these repairs will be conducted within a reasonable time frame, ideally within the next [specific timeframe, e.g., 48 hours]. If it is necessary to coordinate access to the property, please let me know at your earliest convenience, and I will make the necessary arrangements. In the event that these repairs are not adequately addressed, I may need to seek legal advice or involve relevant housing authorities to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. However, I genuinely hope that it does not come to that, and we can resolve this matter amicably. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary action to rectify these plumbing problems promptly and restore the conditions of my rented unit. I look forward to a prompt response regarding the timeline for repairs. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information] [Date]
