Title: Knoxville Tennessee Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Broken Windows Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the urgent matter of multiple broken windows within the premises I currently reside in at [Property Address]. As a tenant, it is my responsibility to ensure the upkeep of the property, but these window damages are beyond my control and require immediate attention. 1. Formal Demand for Prompt Window Repair: I am formally requesting that you take the necessary measures to repair the broken windows in my unit without any further delay. The condition of the windows poses a significant security and safety risk, not only for me but also for my belongings. 2. Importance of Immediate Action: It is crucial to address this issue promptly, as it affects the habitability of the property. Broken windows allow unwanted elements such as pests, insects, rainwater, and extreme temperatures to infiltrate the premises, leading to potential damage to the interior structure and increased utility costs. 3. Legal Obligations: As outlined in our lease agreement and in accordance with the laws of Tennessee, landlords have a legal duty to maintain a habitable living environment for their tenants. It is your responsibility to ensure that the property is in good repair, including fixing broken windows and any resulting damage. 4. Tenant's Rights: With broken windows, I am unable to maintain proper privacy, safety, and security within my living space. This issue infringes on my rights as a tenant, and I kindly request that you fulfill your landlord obligations by addressing this concern as soon as possible. 5. Original Agreement: When I signed the lease for this property, it was understood that the windows were in good condition. However, since then, these damages have occurred, potentially through no fault of my own. 6. Proposed Solutions: As a tenant, I understand the importance of open communication, and I suggest the following options to rectify the situation: — Engage a licensed window repair professional to assess and replace the broken windows. — Consider replacing all the windows within the unit to prevent future recurring issues. — Notify your insurance company, as they may be liable for covering the cost of the repairs. Conclusion: I trust that you understand the urgency and importance of responding promptly to this request. Failure to address the broken windows within a reasonable timeframe may result in further damage to the property and potential legal action for failing to fulfill your landlord obligations. I kindly request that you inform me of your intended course of action within [reasonable time frame, e.g., seven days] from the date of this letter. It is my hope that together we can resolve this matter amicably and ensure the property remains in good condition. Thank you for your immediate attention and cooperation.
