This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically that the floors, stairways, railings are not in good repair.

[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Urgent Repairs Required for Floors, Stairs, and Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention some critical repairs that urgently need to be addressed in my rental unit at [Address]. Firstly, the condition of the floors has significantly deteriorated, posing serious safety hazards. There are multiple areas where the flooring is damaged, especially in the living room and bedroom, which not only affects the aesthetic appeal of the unit but also jeopardizes our safety. The cracks and holes in the flooring expose us to the risk of tripping and injuring ourselves. Secondly, the stairs leading to and from the unit have become unstable and wobbly. The constant creaking sound and the noticeable movement while using them are extremely concerning. It is evident that the stairs lack proper support and require immediate attention to prevent accidents, particularly for tenants with limited mobility or young children. Additionally, the railings along the stairs have started to loosen, making them unreliable and unsafe to grip. This issue is particularly alarming as it compromises our ability to maintain balance while using the stairs or descending. Installing sturdy and secure railings is necessary to ensure the overall safety and well-being of all tenants residing on the property. Given the severity of these issues, I kindly request that you promptly arrange for a professional inspection by a licensed contractor to assess the extent of the damage and necessary repairs. I urge you to take swift action to rectify the problems identified and restore the unit to a safe and habitable condition. As a tenant, I have been meeting my obligations by submitting rent on time and maintaining the property in accordance with the terms of our lease agreement. In return, I expect that my safety concerns are not only acknowledged but also actively addressed in a timely manner. Please respond in writing within [reasonable timeframe, such as 7-10 days] to confirm that necessary repairs will be scheduled at the earliest convenience. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I may be forced to explore legal avenues to ensure the obligations of the landlord are met. I hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and prioritize the safety and well-being of all tenants. I appreciate your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to receiving a prompt response. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing issue. Sincerely, [Your Name]
