Subject: Urgent Notice: Premises Leaks During Rain — Demand for Immediate Repair Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring a critical issue to your attention regarding the current condition of the premises I am renting from you. Unfortunately, I have noticed significant leaks occurring throughout the property whenever it rains, which poses a threat to both my personal safety and the preservation of your property. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial to promptly address this concern before it leads to further damage or potential health hazards. Therefore, I kindly request that you prioritize the necessary repairs. This letter serves as notice under the Tennessee Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act [if applicable]. The leaks are most pronounced in the following areas of the property: 1. Roof: Water is penetrating through the roof, particularly in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. This has caused water stains on the ceilings, which are expanding with each rainfall. 2. Windows: Rainwater seeps through poorly sealed windows in the kitchen and bedroom. This issue not only results in water pooling on the floors but also puts the window frames at risk of rotting and further structural damage. 3. Plumbing: The presence of water also becomes quite evident in the kitchen and bathroom, suggesting a possible plumbing issue. It is essential to investigate these areas thoroughly to identify and rectify the source of water seepage. The continuous exposure to moisture poses a significant threat to both the property and my overall well-being. Ignoring this situation may lead to the growth of mold, which can cause a range of health issues, such as respiratory problems and allergies. Additionally, there is a risk of damage to my personal belongings if the leaks worsen or persist. I kindly request that a proper inspection is conducted by a qualified professional to assess the extent of the damage and determine the necessary repairs. Please hire a competent contractor as soon as possible, taking into account their knowledge and experience in addressing roofing, window, and plumbing issues effectively. I expect you to arrange for the repairs to be carried out within a reasonable timeframe, ensuring the necessary repairs are completed by [specify a reasonable deadline]. As stated in our lease agreement, it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the property in a habitable and safe condition. Furthermore, I kindly request that you keep me informed of the repair schedule and any necessary access arrangements. Please remember to comply with applicable health and safety standards during the repair process.
