Dayton Ohio Letter from Tenant to Landlord for Floor Repair: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: DEMAND FOR REPAIR OF FLOORS IN [APARTMENT/HOUSE/UNIT] AT [PROPERTY ADDRESS] I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern about the deteriorating condition of the floors in my rented [apartment/house/unit]. I have noticed several issues that require immediate attention and repair. Firstly, the hardwood floor in the living room has significant warping and splintering in certain areas. This poses a safety hazard not only to myself but also to any guests or visitors who may be present. The uneven surface has caused me to trip on multiple occasions, increasing the likelihood of injury. Additionally, the warped boards create an unattractive and unsightly appearance, negatively impacting the overall appeal and value of the property. Moreover, the carpeting in the bedroom and hallway areas is worn out and has multiple tears and stains. This is not only aesthetically displeasing but also creates an unhygienic living environment. The frayed edges and loose threads present a tripping hazard, further compromising my safety within the premises. Furthermore, the stairs leading up to my unit display signs of wear and tear, including loose or missing handrails and deteriorating steps. The absence of a sturdy handrail poses a significant danger, especially for elderly or disabled individuals who may need support while using the stairs. The loose steps are unstable and make it difficult to maneuver up and down safely. I believe it is your responsibility, as the landlord, to ensure the habitability and safety of the premises as stated in our rental agreement. Section [XX] of the Ohio Landlord-Tenant Act requires landlords to maintain the property in a safe and sanitary condition, including repair or replacement of flooring and stair systems. Therefore, I kindly request that the necessary repairs be initiated promptly to address the aforementioned issues. Specifically, I request: 1. Replacement or repair of the warped and splintered hardwood flooring in the living room. 2. Professional cleaning or replacement of the worn-out and stained bedroom and hallway carpets. 3. Installation or repair of sturdy handrails on the stairs, ensuring stability and safety. 4. Inspection and repair of any loose or damaged steps. I kindly ask for a written response within [a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to confirm the date when the repairs will commence. Should you fail to address the aforementioned concerns within a reasonable timeframe, I may consider exercising my rights under Ohio law, including seeking legal action or exploring alternative dispute resolution channels. Please note that I have documented the issues with accompanying photographs for reference as evidence, should it be required. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you will prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of your tenants. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response and the initiation of necessary repairs.
