[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Request for Urgent Repairs to Floors, Stairs, and Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring forth some concerns regarding the current state of disrepair in our rented premises at [Rental Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, I have noticed several safety hazards that require immediate attention, specifically the floors, stairs, and railings. 1. Floors: The floors in our unit have become increasingly unstable and hazardous. There are numerous areas with sagging spots, creaking sounds, and visible signs of wear and tear, indicating potential structural issues. This poses a significant safety risk for me and other residents, as it increases the likelihood of tripping, falling, or even sustaining injury. 2. Stairs: The stairs leading to and within the building also demand your kind attention. The treads show noticeable signs of deterioration, with some loose and wobbly steps that pose a grave danger to everyone accessing the premises. Additionally, the absence of sturdy handrails further compromises the safety of residents, particularly the elderly, children, and individuals with mobility challenges. 3. Railings: The railings along the stairs and balconies have not been effectively maintained, leaving them loose and unstable. The lack of secure railings puts all occupants at risk of accidents and serious harm. These railings are designed to provide essential support and stability, promoting safe and convenient movement within the property. Considering the potential hazards and risks associated with these structural deficiencies, I kindly request that you promptly address and repair these issues. As a landlord, you are legally obliged to ensure that the rental property is maintained in a habitable and safe condition throughout the duration of our lease agreement. I kindly ask for a written response within 7 days of receipt of this letter, confirming your commitment to undertake the necessary repairs. If I do not hear from you within this timeframe, I may be forced to seek legal remedies to safeguard my rights as a tenant under the applicable landlord and tenant laws. Please understand that my ultimate goal is to maintain a safe and secure living environment for everyone residing in the property. I hope we can resolve these matters amicably and promptly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I remain at your disposal for any further discussion or clarification. Sincerely, [Your Name]
