This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically a leak in the roof. With this form, the tenant makes a request for repair pursuant to the lease. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE OF LEAKING PREMISES DURING RAIN AND DEMAND FOR URGENT REPAIRS I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about a significant issue with my rented premises located at [address of the rental property] in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Specifically, I am experiencing severe leaks during rainstorms, which is greatly affecting the habitability of the property. Since my tenancy began on [start date of the lease agreement], I have consistently noticed leaks in various areas of the rental unit, especially during rain showers. These leaks have caused water damage to the ceiling, walls, and floors, leading to stains, mold growth, and weakened structures within the property. This consistent issue poses a risk to my personal belongings, as well as my overall health and safety. The excessive moisture and mold growth caused by these leaks have the potential to trigger allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues. Moreover, the compromised structural integrity of the property can lead to further damages and make it susceptible to environmental hazards. As a responsible tenant, it is essential for me to maintain a safe and habitable living environment. Therefore, pursuant to our lease agreement and the applicable landlord-tenant laws of New Mexico, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify this situation. I demand that the necessary repairs be conducted promptly to address the leakage issue for the following reasons: 1. Avoid further damage: The leaks are progressively worsening, and failure to address the issue promptly may result in additional and costlier repairs in the future. This could negatively impact both the value of your property and the quality of my tenancy. 2. Health and safety concerns: The presence of mold and excess moisture due to the leaks poses significant health risks to me and potentially other tenants or visitors. Mold spores can cause allergies, respiratory issues, and other serious health problems, directly affecting the habitability of the property. 3. Compliance with lease agreement: As obligated by our lease agreement, it is your duty as the landlord to maintain the rental premises in good and habitable condition. Failure to address this issue promptly would be a violation of the terms outlined in the lease. In light of the urgency of this matter, I kindly request that you arrange for a professional inspection by a licensed contractor within 48 hours of receiving this letter. The inspection will allow for an accurate assessment of the required repairs, as well as an estimation of the associated costs. Once the inspection has been conducted, please promptly provide me with a detailed written explanation of the repairs needed and the timeline within which the repairs will be completed. While repairs are being carried out, I kindly request that you provide a suitable temporary accommodation, if necessary, to ensure my comfort and safety during this period. Please note that I expect these temporary arrangements to be at no additional cost to me. If I do not hear from you within five business days of receiving this letter or if the necessary repairs are not conducted within a reasonable timeframe, I will have no choice but to seek legal remedies available to me under the New Mexico landlord-tenant laws, including pursuing a reduction in rent or requesting termination of the lease agreement. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter and confirm your intentions regarding the aforementioned repairs and temporary accommodation arrangement as soon as possible. I am hopeful that this matter will be resolved promptly and amicably. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
