Firstly, I must emphasize that the current state of the floors, stairs, or railings poses a significant safety hazard, endangering both myself and any visitors to the property. The integrity and stability of these crucial components have severely deteriorated, compromising the structural integrity of the space. [Type 1: If addressing multiple issues separately] Specifically, I bring to your attention the following points: 1. Floors: As you are likely aware, the floors in the rented premises have noticeably sagged and developed multiple uneven sections. This not only affects aesthetic appeal but also poses a tripping hazard, putting me, as the tenant, at risk of potential injuries. 2. Stairs: The stairway leading to the upper floor(s) exhibits substantial signs of wear and tear. The steps are worn, loose, and some have even begun to crack. Considering that the staircase is frequently used, it is crucial to address this issue promptly to prevent any incidents such as accidents or falls. 3. Railings: The railings adjacent to the stairs have become loose, making them unreliable and unsafe to hold onto for support. During ascending or descending the stairs, it creates an alarming lack of stability, which poses a direct threat to both myself and any guests on the premises. Type 2: [If addressing multiple issues collectively] The overall condition of the floors, stairs, and railings within the rented property is far from satisfactory.
