Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Windows in [Apartment/Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the pressing issue of broken windows in my [apartment/unit] located at [Apartment/Property Address]. I have noticed that the windows in my [apartment/unit] are in a state of serious disrepair, which demands immediate attention and repair. As a tenant, I am deeply concerned about the safety, security, and comfort of my living environment. The broken windows pose several risks and inconveniences, which I kindly request that you address as soon as possible. Allow me to highlight the specific concerns: 1. Security: The broken windows compromise the security of my unit as they provide easy access for unauthorized individuals to enter my apartment. This greatly increases the risk of burglary and puts my personal safety and belongings in jeopardy. It is crucial to rectify this issue promptly to ensure the peace of mind and safety of all residents. 2. Insect Infestation: The damaged windows create gaps and cracks, which can serve as entry points for various pests such as ants, mosquitoes, spiders, and cockroaches. This poses health risks and can lead to infestation issues inside the unit, affecting the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the property. 3. Energy Inefficiency: The broken windows are responsible for significant heat loss during the colder months, resulting in higher energy consumption and increased utility bills. The lack of insulation leads to discomfort due to drafts and temperature fluctuations, negatively impacting the habitability of the premises. Timely repairs will help to restore energy efficiency and mitigate unnecessary expenses. 4. Noise Disturbance: The damaged windows do not provide effective insulation against external noise pollution, causing disturbances throughout the day and night. Maintaining a peaceful living environment should be a priority, and fixing the broken windows will contribute to reducing unwanted noise levels, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for residents. Given the urgency of this matter, I kindly request that you arrange for the repair or replacement of the broken windows as soon as possible. I understand that such repairs may require professional assistance, and I am more than willing to accommodate any necessary appointments or access to my unit. Please provide me with a written confirmation outlining the steps that will be taken to address this issue and the expected timeline for completion. Additionally, I kindly request that proper measures be implemented to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future. Should the repairs not be promptly carried out, I may be left with no choice but to escalate this matter further, seeking assistance from relevant local authorities or pursuing legal remedies available under the North Carolina Tenant Rights Act and our lease agreement. I believe that your prompt and professional attention to this issue will uphold our positive tenant-landlord relationship, as well as ensure a safe and comfortable living environment for all residents. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Apartment/Unit Number] [Contact Number] [Email Address]
