Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically broken doors in the property. With this form, the tenant makes a request for repair pursuant to the lease. Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Broken Doors in [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent matter regarding the condition of the doors in my rental unit. As a responsible and attentive tenant, I believe prompt action is necessary to ensure the safety and security of both myself and the property. Firstly, allow me to illustrate the present state of the doors in question: 1. Front/Entrance Door: It has come to my notice that the front door has been experiencing issues lately. The handle is loose, making it difficult to operate the lock properly. Additionally, the door seems to have developed a noticeable gap at the bottom, allowing drafts and cold air to enter the premises. This not only compromises energy efficiency but also raises concerns about potential security risks. 2. Bedroom Door: The bedroom door has also encountered a significant problem. The door hinge appears to be loose or damaged, causing the door to creak and stick when opening or closing. Besides the inconvenience caused, this poses a safety hazard, as the door may unexpectedly swing shut or become difficult to open during an emergency situation. Considering these circumstances, I kindly request that you take immediate action to remedy these door issues. Timely repairs are necessary to maintain the livability and security of the premises, as well as to avoid any potential confrontations that may arise due to the impaired functionality of these doors. Based on my understanding of the [rental agreement/lease agreement], it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure the maintenance, functionality, and safety of the rented property and its fixtures. In light of this, I hereby request the following actions to be taken: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the front/entrance door and bedroom door to assess the extent of the damage. 2. Coordinate with a professional and licensed contractor to make the necessary repairs or replacements promptly. 3. Provide me with a reasonable timeline for the commencement and completion of the repair work. 4. If deemed necessary, consider installing additional security features such as a deadbolt lock or reinforced door jamb to enhance the safety and peace of mind of all tenants. I trust that you will treat this matter with the utmost urgency and priority it deserves. Please be aware that I am willing to cooperate and coordinate with you throughout the repair process to ensure a swift resolution. In the event that no action is taken within a reasonable time frame, I may have no choice but to explore other avenues to address these concerns or seek legal advice to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your immediate attention and cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your prompt response and resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
