I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a persistent issue that has arisen concerning my rented premises at [address of the rental property] in Bend, Oregon. Specifically, I am saddened to inform you that the premises have been experiencing significant leaks during rain showers, which necessitate immediate repairs. One of the primary concerns a tenant has when renting a property is that it should provide a safe and habitable environment. Regrettably, the recent leaks during rain have made the living conditions in the rental unit untenable. The leaks have resulted in damage to personal belongings, potential mold growth, and a constant feeling of unease during the rainy season. Prompt repairs are crucial to maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment. Therefore, I kindly request that you arrange for an inspection by a qualified and licensed professional to assess the cause of the leaks and initiate the necessary repairs promptly. I expect this repair work to be conducted diligently and efficiently to avoid any further inconvenience. In addition to demanding the prompt repair of the premises, I would like to mention that according to the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ORS Chapter 90), it is the landlord's legal responsibility to ensure the property is maintained in a habitable condition. Any failure to address such issues promptly may be in violation of the contractual lease agreement and local housing laws. To prevent any misunderstandings, it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide a detailed timeline of when the repairs will commence and the estimated completion date. Additionally, I kindly request regular updates on the progress of the repairs until full resolution of the present issue is achieved. In accordance with the lease agreement, I am also requesting reimbursement for any costs incurred for damaged personal property as a direct result of the leaks. I have enclosed copies of relevant invoices and receipts documenting these losses for your perusal. I trust that you will take my concerns seriously and promptly initiate the necessary actions to rectify the leaks. Your cooperation and attention to this matter are highly appreciated. Should you require any further information or wish to discuss this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. I look forward to a swift resolution and the restoration of a safe and comfortable living environment. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
