Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically a leak in the roof. With this form, the tenant makes a request for repair pursuant to the lease. Subject: Urgent Repair Request: Notice of Leaking Premises during Rain Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a pressing issue concerning my rental unit within your property located at [Property Address], Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Specifically, I have noticed significant water leakage during rainstorms, which is causing severe inconvenience and potential damage to my personal belongings. Over the past few weeks, as Oklahoma City entered its rainy season, I have noticed an increasing amount of water seeping through the walls and ceiling of my unit whenever it rains. This leakage has become a recurrent problem, leading to the formation of damp spots, discolored patches, and even minor water puddles in various areas of the apartment. I have taken pictures to document the extent of the damage caused by the leaks (attached for your reference). These water intrusions have proven to be highly disruptive to my everyday life. Not only do they pose a risk to my health and safety, but they also damage the furniture, electronics, and personal possessions I have invested in to make this unit my home. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to bring this matter to your attention promptly, seeking immediate action to mitigate the ongoing damage. I kindly request that you arrange for a qualified professional to inspect the premises at the earliest convenience and perform any necessary repairs to resolve the leakage issue effectively. This should include a thorough assessment of the roof, gutters, drains, and any other potential sources of water ingress that might be contributing to the problem. By addressing this matter promptly, we can prevent any further damage and ensure a habitable living environment. Furthermore, please keep in mind that the continuous presence of water in my living area creates an ideal environment for the growth of mold and mildew, which can have adverse effects on both my health and the structural integrity of the property. To prevent any potential health hazards, it is essential that this issue is resolved within the shortest possible timeframe. In accordance with my lease agreement, I kindly request that you provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe, usually around 7-10 days] outlining the necessary steps you will undertake to address this matter. Should you fail to take adequate action within the given timeframe, I may be compelled to pursue alternative remedies at my disposal, including seeking legal assistance or involving relevant housing authorities, to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I understand that unexpected maintenance issues can arise, and I trust that you will handle this situation expediently. I look forward to a swift resolution that will restore the comfort and integrity of my rental unit.
