Description

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 and high spirits. I am writing to bring your attention to a matter that requires immediate action. As a tenant at [Property Address, City, State], I am deeply concerned about the current state of the floors, stairs, and railings within the property. Let me start by explaining the issues I have encountered. The floors in several rooms, including the kitchen and living area, have become noticeably worn-out and uneven. This not only poses a safety risk but also affects the overall aesthetics of the property. The stairs leading up to my apartment unit also display signs of wear and tear, with loose and creaky steps that pose a tripping hazard. Moreover, the railings along the stairwell are loose, compromising their ability to provide adequate support and protection. These numerous structural issues have negatively impacted my ability to enjoy the rented premises comfortably and safely. I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these concerns, as outlined in our rental agreement and in accordance with Rochester, New York's rental property maintenance requirements. Repairing the floors is crucial not only for safety reasons but also to uphold the value and appeal of the property. I propose a thorough examination and replacement of any damaged or worn areas, ensuring a smooth and level surface throughout. Additionally, the stairs require urgent attention to fix loose steps and eliminate any potential hazards. Reinforcement and tightening of the railings are vital to provide tenants with reliable support when navigating the stairway. I would be grateful if you could provide a timeline for the repair process, including when the repairs will commence and how long they are expected to take. If necessary, I am willing to accommodate access to my unit by scheduling a convenient date and time with you or an authorized representative. As a tenant, it is my responsibility to bring these maintenance concerns to your attention promptly. I firmly believe that by addressing these issues promptly, we can maintain a harmonious and safe living environment. I kindly ask for your swift action and acknowledgement of this letter within the next [reasonable timeframe, e.g., five business days]. If, for any reason, you are unable to address these concerns or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Contact information]. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust in your commitment to ensuring the safety and comfort of your tenants and look forward to a timely resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date]
