[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice and Demand for Immediate Repair of Broken Doors Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring an urgent matter to your attention regarding the current state of the doors in my rented unit located at [address]. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you of the existing safety hazard and request prompt repair. After the thorough inspection of the premises, I have identified the following issues with the doors: 1. Main Entrance Door: The main entrance door has been showing signs of wear and tear for the past few months. Due to the worn out hinges, the door is creating difficulty in its proper opening and closing. It has become increasingly challenging to lock and unlock the door, compromising the security of my residence. 2. Patio Door: The patio door, leading to the backyard, has encountered significant issues as well. The door handle is loose, making it prone to detachment. Additionally, the locks are malfunctioning, leaving the door vulnerable to unauthorized access. This not only threatens the safety of my belongings but also raises concerns about potential break-ins. Considering the importance of safety and security, I kindly request that you take immediate action to repair or replace the aforementioned doors. Due to the severity of the situation and the potential risks involved, I believe it is necessary to address this matter promptly to ensure the well-being of all residents in the building. In accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in our lease agreement, under Section [X], it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the premises in a habitable condition, which includes ensuring all doors are secure and fully functional. I hereby formally request that you or your designated maintenance team conduct a comprehensive inspection of the doors and carry out all necessary repairs, replacements, or installations within the next [specified timeframe, e.g., 7 days]. If the repairs are not made within the stipulated timeframe, I may have no choice but to explore other legal options available to me, which may include contacting the appropriate local housing authority or seeking legal counsel to enforce my rights as a tenant. I believe that a resolution to this matter is possible through open communication and prompt action. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this notice in writing and provide a specific plan detailing the repair schedule. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and the restoration of safety and security within my rented unit.
