[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Urgent Repair of Floors, Stairs, and Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention several concerning issues regarding the condition of the floors, stairs, and railings in my rental property located at [Property Address], Cary, North Carolina. I have noted significant safety hazards that urgently require your attention and immediate action. Floors: The condition of the floors throughout the property has steadily deteriorated since I moved in. The hardwood floors are now warped, creaky, and uneven, posing a tripping hazard to anyone walking or using the space. Additionally, there are visible gaps between floorboards, which not only endanger the structural integrity but also create a potential area for water damage and pest infiltration. These issues impede my ability to fully enjoy and safely utilize the rented premises. Stairs: The staircase leading to the upper levels of the property is in an unacceptable state. The treads are worn out, loose, and unstable, compromising the safety and stability of anyone using the stairs. Such a hazardous condition puts all occupants, including myself, at a severe risk of tripping, falling, and sustaining injuries. It is crucial that you address this matter swiftly to prevent any accidents from occurring. Railings: The railings attached to the stairs and balconies are in dire need of repair. They no longer provide the necessary support and stability while using the stairs or leaning on the balconies. This poses an immense danger, as a loss of balance could result in serious injuries or even fatal falls. Immediate attention is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. As your tenant, I have an expectation that the property is maintained in a safe and habitable condition, in compliance with the North Carolina Landlord-Tenant laws. According to the lease agreement, it is your responsibility as the landlord to promptly repair any damages that affect the habitability and safety of the property. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy the aforementioned issues. In accordance with the law, I expect the repairs to commence within [reasonable timeframe] and be completed in a timely manner. I trust that you will prioritize these repairs, as I cannot continue to reside in a unit that poses such hazards. Please provide me with a written response within [reasonable timeframe] to confirm that you have received this letter and to outline your plan for rectifying the stated issues. Failure to address these concerns within a reasonable time frame may result in legal remedies and further action to ensure my right to a safe living environment. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your immediate action. Sincerely, [Your Name]
