Description

This form covers the subject matter described in the form's title for your State. This letter is written by a Tenant to Landlord requesting again that Landlord make repairs to leased premises that Tenant had previously requested.

Subject: Urgent Maintenance Request — Tenant's Letter to Landlord Addressing Repairs Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the persistent issues with the maintenance of my rented property at [Rental Property Address], Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite bringing up these concerns previously, it is disheartening to note that the necessary repairs have not been promptly addressed, leaving me and my family in an uncomfortable living environment. 1. Plumbing and Water Leakages: For the past three months, we have been struggling with recurring plumbing issues in the bathroom and kitchen. The sinks constantly clog, the toilet flush is unreliable, and there are visible signs of water leakage occurring beneath the sink. The excessive water not only poses a health hazard but also damages the structural integrity of the property if not attended too promptly. 2. Electrical Outlets and Appliances: Several electrical outlets within the premises are malfunctioning, causing frequent power outages. It is imperative to ensure the safety of my family and avoid potential electrical hazards. Additionally, I have already reported issues regarding the faulty refrigerator and stove, making it difficult to maintain proper food storage and prepare meals. 3. Roof Leakage: During the recent heavy rainfall, it has become evident that the roof suffers from leakage issues. The dampness and leakages have resulted in mold growth and water damage on the ceiling and walls. This not only compromises the aesthetics of the property but also poses serious health risks to my family. 4. Heating and Cooling System: The central heating and cooling system has been inefficient for quite some time. The temperature fluctuations severely impact our comfort, especially during extreme weather conditions. Efficient climate control is essential for a habitable living space. 5. Pest Infestation: Despite having previously reported this matter to you, the rampant pest infestation continues to persist. The presence of rodents and insects compromises both our health and the integrity of the property's structure. Urgent intervention is required to address this issue through professional pest control measures. Resolving these maintenance concerns is essential to ensure the habitability, safety, and well-being of my family as tenants within your property. I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues and communicate a proposed timeline for their resolution. Under the Tenancy Act of North Carolina, landlords are legally obligated to provide and maintain habitable conditions within rented properties. Failure to address these concerns may force us to exercise our rights under the lease agreement, including potentially withholding rent or considering other legal remedies available to us. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and allocate the necessary resources to promptly address the identified maintenance issues. Should you require access to the property for assessment or repairs, kindly notify us in advance to ensure our availability. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you within the next ten business days. Your cooperation in resolving these concerns is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Contact Information]
