High Point North Carolina Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand: Repairing Floors, Stairs, or Railings [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter of concern regarding the state of the floors, stairs, and railings in the rental property located at [rental property address]. As a tenant, I have noticed several issues that require immediate attention to ensure my safety and the habitability of the premises. 1. Structural Safety: The floors, stairs, and railings in the rental unit are in a deteriorating condition, posing serious safety hazards. Despite my best efforts to maintain them, there are visible cracks, loose boards, and rotting wood present. This compromises the overall structural integrity, risking accidents such as slip and fall incidents or potential injuries. 2. Trip and Fall Hazards: The uneven flooring throughout the property, especially in high traffic areas like the living room, kitchen, and hallway, increases the risk of tripping and falling. Poorly secured carpets and loose tiles further contribute to this hazardous condition. It is of utmost importance that these flooring issues are promptly addressed to prevent any potential accidents or injuries. 3. Staircase Concerns: The staircase leading to the upper levels of the property requires immediate attention. The steps exhibit signs of wear and tear, including loose or broken stair treads, wobbly handrails, and inadequate lighting. These conditions heighten the risk of tripping or falling while navigating the stairs, particularly during nighttime or adverse weather conditions. 4. Railing Safety: Additionally, some railings within the rental property are either missing or improperly installed. This poses a significant safety threat, especially for children, elderly individuals, or anyone with balance issues. The lack of secure railings increases the likelihood of accidents occurring while using the stairs, balconies, or elevated areas. Given these safety concerns, it is crucial that you take immediate action to rectify these issues. I kindly request that you arrange for a professional inspection by a licensed contractor or handyman to evaluate and repair the floors, stairs, and railings in compliance with the applicable building codes and safety standards. Furthermore, I urge you to initiate this repair process promptly to mitigate any potential injuries to me, my guests, or any other future tenants. Please ensure that all repairs are completed within a reasonable timeframe, following which I would appreciate receiving written confirmation detailing the actions taken to address these concerns. While I value my tenancy at your property, it is vital that these repairs are addressed promptly to ensure a safe and habitable living environment. We should both prioritize the safety and well-being of all occupants residing in the rental property. I look forward to your prompt attention to these matters. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the necessary repairs and proposed timeline. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
