Subject: Urgent Notice of Premises Leakage during Rain and Request for Prompt Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. As a responsible tenant residing at [Specific Rental Property Address], I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a recurring issue that requires urgent attention on your part. For the past few weeks, I have noticed a persistent leakage problem within the premises whenever it rains. It is important to note that this problem is causing significant inconvenience and potential damage to both the property and my personal belongings. Hence, I kindly request your immediate action to rectify this issue. As Springfield, Missouri experiences regular rain events throughout the year, it is crucial that the property remains watertight and adequately maintained to provide a safe and habitable living environment for tenants. Unfortunately, the current state of the property fails to meet these basic standards. During rainfall, water penetrates through the roof, resulting in water droplets and even small streams flowing into the living room, specifically close to the west-facing window. It has reached a point where I am now compelled to place buckets and towels strategically to prevent further water damage to furniture, electronics, and an array of personal possessions. Considering the escalating intensity of rainstorms prevalent in our area, it is essential that immediate repairs are undertaken to address the specific concerns: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the roof, gutters, and downspouts to locate and identify all existing leaks and their causes. 2. Arrange for skilled professionals to promptly repair any identified leaks or damage to the roof, ensuring it is watertight. 3. Ensure proper sealing around windows, particularly the west-facing window, to prevent water infiltration during heavy rainfall. 4. Assess any potential water damage to the affected area and initiate appropriate remediation to avoid long-term issues such as mold or structural damage. As a loyal and responsible tenant who has been prompt in rental payments, it is my humble expectation that you will understand the urgency of this matter and take the necessary steps to address the leaking issue. I trust that you will undertake repairs within a reasonable time frame, considering the potential risks associated with further delay. Should you fail to address this matter promptly, I may be forced to explore alternative options, such as seeking legal advice or involving relevant authorities, to ensure a safe living environment as per my tenant rights. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide a written confirmation outlining your intended course of action within [reasonable time frame] days. I appreciate your prompt attention and prompt resolution to this matter. Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. I look forward to your prompt response.
