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. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that repairs be made.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring your attention to some critical repairs that need to be addressed in my [apartment/house] at [property address] as soon as possible. Neglecting these repairs may result in potential accidents or injuries and could lead to additional damages to the property. First and foremost, I would like to draw your attention to the deteriorating condition of the floors. The flooring throughout the [apartment/house] has increasingly become a safety concern, with several areas exhibiting noticeable signs of wear and tear. There are loose floorboards, cracks, and uneven surfaces, which pose a trip hazard to myself and my guests. Living in such hazardous conditions is not only inconvenient but also puts us at risk of accidents and injuries. Furthermore, the stairs leading up to my living quarters have also begun to show signs of significant wear. The treads have become worn, making them slippery, and the handrail is loose and unstable. This unreliability poses a serious safety concern, especially when navigating the stairs during nighttime or in inclement weather conditions. I firmly believe that the repair and reinforcement of both the stairs and handrail are necessary to prevent any unfortunate incidents that may result in severe injuries. In accordance with the terms of my lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the premises are kept in a safe and habitable condition. As a tenant who fulfills all of my responsibilities, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these issues. Please arrange for a reputable contractor or maintenance crew to assess and repair the damaged floors, stairs, and railings promptly. I understand that repairs can sometimes incur costs, but ensuring the safety of your tenants is essential and cannot be overlooked. Failure to address these concerns may result in continued deterioration, additional expenses, and potential legal consequences. I trust that you, as a responsible and caring landlord, will prioritize the well-being of your tenants and address these issues swiftly. I kindly request a written response to this letter within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] outlining your plan of action for remedying the mentioned concerns. In the event that these repairs are not initiated within a reasonable timeframe, I may be compelled to explore other legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
