Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Damaged Floors, Stairs, and Railings — Demand for Prompt Action [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirit. I am writing to bring your attention to a critical maintenance issue that requires immediate resolution in my rental property located in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Specifically, I am deeply concerned about the deteriorating condition of the floors, stairs, and railings within the premises. As your tenant, I understand that it is your responsibility to maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition as stated in our rental agreement. Regrettably, the current state of the floors, stairs, and railings compromises my safety and those of any guests or visitors to the property. Given the potential for accidents or injuries, it is essential that prompt action is taken to rectify these issues. Floors: The flooring throughout the property showcases worn-out surfaces, uneven or loose floorboards, and significant signs of disrepair. These deteriorating conditions create an unsafe environment that poses a tripping hazard, leading to possible injuries. Stairs: The stairs within the premises exhibit similar signs of neglect. The steps are becoming increasingly unstable, with loose or missing handrails, and areas of structural weakness. These hazardous conditions greatly heighten the risk of falls or accidents not only for me but for anyone utilizing the staircase. Railings: The railings in the property, whether alongside the stairs or on common areas such as balconies or porches, are in dire need of repair. Several railings have loose components or are entirely detached, directly undermining the safety standards required for a dwelling. Replacing or fixing these railings is crucial for the well-being of all occupants in the building. I kindly request your immediate attention and intervention to rectify these pressing issues. I am confident that addressing these concerns promptly will not only maintain a safe environment but will also preserve the integrity of the property. Failure to respond promptly to these repairs may result in further damage and potential liability. Moreover, I would appreciate a written response within [a reasonable time frame] outlining the actions you will take to rectify these problems. I would also be grateful if you could specify an estimated timeline for completing the repairs. Please remember that as a tenant, I have a legally protected right to a safe and habitable living environment. I trust that you understand the importance of ensuring my safety and the well-being of all residents under your care. I am confident that you will take immediate action to address these concerns and restore the property to its optimal condition. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you promptly.
