Subject: Urgent Repair Request: Broken Windows at [Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing as a tenant of [Address] in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to bring to your attention a pressing matter that requires immediate attention and resolution. It has come to my notice that several windows in my rented premises have been damaged and are in dire need of repair. The broken windows are causing various inconveniences and risks, which directly affect my safety, security, and comfort within the property. Firstly, the broken windows are compromising the security of my dwelling. Their current condition provides an entry point for potential intruders or unauthorized individuals, putting me and my personal belongings at risk. While I am taking precautionary measures, such as boarding the windows temporarily, these makeshift solutions are neither durable nor effective. Furthermore, the broken windows are posing a severe threat to my safety and well-being. They allow outside elements such as rain, wind, cold air, and even unwanted pests to enter the premises. This not only leads to increased utility bills but also creates an uncomfortable living environment. Additionally, the exposure to harsh weather conditions could result in property damage and potential health hazards. Considering these significant concerns, I kindly request that you initiate the necessary repairs as soon as possible. I firmly believe that maintaining a safe and habitable living space is both your legal obligation and a reasonable expectation as a responsible landlord. I kindly ask you to prioritize the following actions: 1. Swiftly hire a professional contractor to assess the damages and provide an accurate estimate of the repair costs. 2. Schedule the repair work promptly and inform me of the agreed-upon date and time. 3. Ensure that the repairs are conducted using high-quality materials and in compliance with the local building codes and regulations. 4. Coordinate with the contractor to minimize any disruption to my daily routine during the repair process. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may slightly delay the repair work. However, to ensure prompt resolution, I kindly request regular updates regarding the progress and any potential delays encountered. I would like to point out that withholding essential repairs constitutes a violation of tenant rights and may result in legal consequences. However, I strongly believe that amicable communication and prompt resolution can avoid any further escalation. I look forward to your prompt attention and action regarding this matter. For a smoother and more efficient process, I would appreciate written confirmation of your plans to address this issue within [insert a reasonable time frame, e.g., seven calendar days] from the date of this letter. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you will promptly address and rectify these concerns to ensure a safe, secure, and comfortable living environment.
