Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This letter is written by a Tenant to Landlord requesting again that Landlord make repairs to leased premises that Tenant had previously requested. Tenant reserves the right to take legal action against Landlord including the right to sue for available relief. Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing to bring to your attention the ongoing issue regarding necessary repairs that have not been addressed at [Property Address] in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As your tenant, I have a right to live in a safe, habitable, and well-maintained unit, which unfortunately is not the case at present. I first reported these repairs on [date] but despite my repeated requests, there has been no action taken to resolve the matter. The following repairs are urgently needed: 1. Plumbing Issues: There is a persistent leak in the bathroom which has caused water damage to the flooring and walls. This has led to the growth of mold, creating an unhealthy living environment. Additionally, the water pressure in both the kitchen and bathroom faucets is extremely low, making it inconvenient to perform daily tasks. 2. Electrical Problems: Several outlets in the living room and bedroom are non-functional. This creates an inconvenience and a potential safety hazard, as overloading the remaining outlets can lead to electrical issues and fire hazards. 3. Heating and Cooling Malfunctions: The HVAC system is not functioning properly, resulting in inconsistent temperatures throughout the unit. This poses a significant discomfort, especially during extreme weather conditions. 4. Structural Instabilities: I have noticed cracks in the walls and ceiling, indicating potential structural issues. These cracks have been widening progressively, and I am concerned about the stability and safety of the unit. 5. Security Concerns: The front door lock has been malfunctioning, making it difficult to secure the premises. This compromises my safety and the security of my personal belongings. It is my understanding that as a landlord, you have a legal obligation to maintain and repair the property promptly. Failure to address these issues not only breaches our lease agreement but also disregards my rights as a tenant. I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these problems within the next [reasonable timeline] to ensure a safe and habitable living environment. If these repairs are not addressed promptly, it may be necessary for me to take further action, such as contacting the relevant authorities or seeking legal assistance to protect my rights as a tenant. I would prefer to resolve this matter amicably, avoiding any escalation or inconvenience for both parties. I believe that you value your relationship with your tenants and will promptly address these concerns. Please contact me within the next [reasonable timeline] to discuss and confirm the actions you will take to remedy these issues. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date]
