This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically that the floors, stairways, railings are not in good repair.

[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for Immediate Repairs to Floors, Stairs, and Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to a pressing issue that requires your immediate attention and action. As a tenant in [Apartment Number/Property Address], I have noticed significant damages and hazards to the floors, stairs, and railings in the rental property. Firstly, the condition of the floors has deteriorated over time, with multiple areas showing signs of cracks, uneven surfaces, and loose floorboards. This not only poses a great risk of tripping and injury to myself and other residents but also compromises the integrity and safety of the property. It is my sincere request that you take prompt action to repair the floors and carry out any necessary replacements to ensure a hazard-free environment. Secondly, the state of the stairs in the building is unacceptable and poses a serious threat to the well-being of all tenants. The stair treads are worn out, with some exhibiting loose or broken pieces, making it extremely dangerous to navigate these areas. Moreover, the lack of proper lighting in stairwells further heightens the risk of accidents. Therefore, I urge you to engage a professional contractor to repair or replace the stairs with sturdy and safe materials, along with installing adequate lighting fixtures for enhanced visibility. Furthermore, the railings throughout the property are in urgent need of repair. Many railings are loose, wobbly, or completely broken, rendering them ineffective and dangerous. Functional and secure railings are crucial for the safety of residents, especially those with mobility challenges or families with young children. I kindly request that you address these issues promptly by repairing or replacing the damaged railings to ensure maximum safety. I understand that property maintenance is an ongoing responsibility for both tenants and landlords. As per the lease agreement, it is your duty to provide a safe and habitable living environment. Furthermore, according to the Tenant Landlord Act of Pennsylvania, it is required that landlords maintain the premises in a safe condition. If no action is taken within a reasonable period, I regretfully inform you that I will have no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under Pennsylvania law to ensure the necessary repairs are undertaken promptly. However, I sincerely hope that it does not come to that, and we can address this matter amicably. I kindly request a written response outlining your plan of action and a specific timeline for completing these repairs. Additionally, I would appreciate updates on progress or any potential inconveniences regarding accessing these areas during the repair works. I trust you will give this matter the attention it deserves and take immediate action to rectify the unsafe conditions. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
