[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for Immediate Repairs to [Specific Issue] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the deteriorating condition of my rental property located at [Property Address].

[Issue 1]: [Provide a detailed description of the first issue here, outlining the current state, and emphasizing the impact on daily living, safety, or property value.] 2. [Issue 2]: [Describe the second issue using similar guidelines as above.] 3. [Issue 3]: [If applicable, provide detail on the third issue.] I must express my deep disappointment with the lack of action taken since I first reported these issues on [date]. Every tenant expects a safe and habitable living environment, which is a fundamental right protected by the law [Keywords: tenant rights, habitability, legal obligations]. Additionally, neglecting these necessary repairs may lead to further damage to the property and could potentially cause harm to me or fellow tenants. Under Michigan law, landlords are legally obligated to maintain rental properties in a habitable condition and promptly respond to repair requests [Keywords: Michigan landlord-tenant laws, tenant rights].

Delaying the repairs any further would force me to seek remedies available to me under the law, including but not limited to withholding rent, exercising my right to repair and deduct, or even considering legal action. Please respond to this letter no later than [reasonable deadline, typically 7-14 days] with a proposed plan outlining the specific actions and timeline for each repair.

Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
