Subject: Urgent Repair Request — Notice of Broken Doors in [Property Address] [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a concerned tenant in [property address], Fargo, North Dakota with a pressing matter regarding the state of our rental unit. I would like to bring to your attention the significant issue of broken doors that urgently demand your immediate attention and repair. Firstly, allow me to express my gratitude for accommodating my tenancy here at [property address]. While I appreciate your efforts in maintaining the building's overall upkeep, it has come to my attention that several doors within the premises are in a state of disrepair. The doors in question include: 1. Front Entrance Door: The primary entry point to the building is currently malfunctioning. It experiences difficulties closing properly, and the lock mechanism is faulty, posing a security risk for both myself and other tenants residing within the property. It is imperative that this door be promptly addressed to ensure the safety and well-being of all occupants. 2.

The uneven alignment of the door results in poor insulation, allowing outside air and noise to infiltrate the interior. Additionally, the lock is loose and unreliable, compromising the safety and privacy of my living space. Properly functioning doors are not only crucial for security purposes but also integral to ensuring a comfortable, peaceful, and habitable living environment for tenants. As stated in the lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to promptly address and cover the costs of repairs necessary to maintain the premises in good condition. Given the significance of these broken doors and the related safety concerns, I kindly request that you take immediate action to arrange for a professional repair service to assess and remedy the issues.

To avoid any unnecessary further escalation, it is in the best interest of all parties involved that you address these concerns promptly and effectively. Your cooperation in promptly resolving this matter will be greatly appreciated. I trust that you will give this serious consideration and act responsibly to rectify the mentioned issues.
