Title: Eugene Oregon Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand for Floor, Stair, or Railing Repairs Introduction: Dear Landlord, I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the deteriorating condition and safety hazards present in my rented property located at [address]. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial to address these issues promptly to ensure the habitability and safety of the premises. 1. Request for Immediate Repair of Damaged Floors: I have noticed that the floors in the unit have started to show visible signs of damage, including cracks, uneven surfaces, and loose floorboards. The deteriorating condition of the floors poses a significant risk not only to my personal safety but to the structural integrity of the property as well. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to repair the damaged floors using durable and reliable materials. 2. Repair or Replacement of Defective Stairs: Apart from the floor issues, the stairs leading to the premises have become increasingly unstable. The steps creak and wobble, creating a potential hazard that could potentially result in a serious injury for anyone using them. I urge you to prioritize the inspection, repair, or replacement of the defective stairs to eliminate this safety risk. The repairs should adhere to appropriate building codes and standards. 3. Urgent Railing Repair for Enhanced Safety: One critical safety feature that requires your immediate attention is the unstable or damaged railing along the stairs or walkways. The railing acts as a preventive measure in preventing accidents, especially for children and elderly tenants. I have noticed that the railings are loose, broken, or missing in certain areas. To ensure the welfare of all residents and visitors, I urge you to promptly repair or replace any damaged railings. 4. Terms of Repair Agreement: I kindly request that you provide a written response indicating your willingness to address these concerns within a reasonable time frame. However, please note that if the repairs are not conducted within 30 days from the receipt of this letter, it may be considered a breach of your duties as a landlord, potentially resulting in further legal actions. Conclusion: Maintaining a safe and habitable living environment is a shared responsibility between tenants and landlords. I trust that you understand the importance of addressing these issues promptly to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents. I look forward to your prompt attention to these matters and anticipate a positive resolution.
