As a tenant residing in your property, I believe it is crucial to ensure the safety and habitability of our living environment. This letter serves as an official demand for immediate repairs to be undertaken in order to address the following concerns: Key Points: 1. Defective Floors: The floors in my apartment have deteriorated significantly over time, with multiple areas showing signs of cracking, warping, and creaking. These conditions pose a danger to the structural integrity of the building and my personal safety, as they increase the risk of accidents, injuries, and further damage. It is imperative that prompt action is taken to repair or replace these faulty floors. 2. Unsafe Stairs: The stairs leading to my apartment are in a state of disrepair, and I have observed loose or missing steps, broken handrails, and unstable banisters. These hazardous conditions are not only inconvenient but also expose me and other residents to the potential risk of falling and sustaining severe injuries. I demand that necessary repairs are performed to ensure the stability and safety of the stairs. 3. Inadequate Railings: The railings on the balconies, walkways, and entrances of the building have shown signs of corrosion, becoming weak and unstable. These compromised railings do not comply with safety regulations established by building codes and put tenants at significant risk. I kindly request your immediate attention to repairing or replacing these defective railings to maintain a secure environment for all residents. Additional Concerns (if applicable): I would also like to draw your attention to any other issues related to the floors, stairs, or railings that may exist in communal spaces such as hallways, elevators, or the building's entrance. Any necessary repairs in these areas will contribute to the overall safety and welfare of the tenants. Conclusion: Given the urgency and importance of these repairs, I trust that you will promptly address the mentioned concerns to ensure my well-being and comply with your legal obligations as a landlord. As per my rights as a tenant, I kindly request written confirmation of the repairs to be carried out within the next [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] to avoid any further action.
