Letter 1: Initial Notice of Broken Doors and Demand for Repair [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: NOTICE OF BROKEN DOORS AND DEMAND FOR REPAIR I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a critical issue concerning the doors in my rented premises at [Your Address]. I regret to inform you that there are significant issues with the doors within my apartment, which require prompt repair. The broken doors have become a safety and security concern for me and my family. I have noticed the following problems: 1. Main Entrance Door: — The lock mechanism on the main entrance door is faulty, making it difficult to lock or unlock the door securely. — The door handle is loose and wiggles, posing a threat of sudden breakage or accidental opening. 2. Bedroom Door: — The bedroom door has a cracked hinge, causing it to swing unevenly. — The door frame is damaged, resulting in a visible gap and air leakage. The above situations not only compromise my safety but also violate the lease agreement and Texas habitability laws, which mandate landlords to maintain the premises in a habitable condition. I kindly request that immediate action be taken to rectify these issues. I urge you to undertake the necessary repairs as outlined below: 1. Repair or replace the lock mechanism on the main entrance door. 2. Replace the loose door handle on the main entrance door with a sturdy and secure one. 3. Repair or replace the cracked hinge on the bedroom door and ensure it swings evenly. 4. Repair the damaged door frame in the bedroom and eliminate any air leakage. Considering the urgency and gravity of the situation, I expect the repairs to commence within 7 business days from the date of this letter. Please notify me promptly about the schedule for repairs and ensure that a licensed and qualified professional is hired for the job. As a tenant, it is my responsibility to promptly report any maintenance issues to you. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you will take appropriate action to address these concerns within a reasonable timeframe and restore the habitability of the premises in compliance with the lease agreement. In the event that these repairs are not initiated within the stated timeframe, I may be forced to pursue legal remedies available to me under the Texas Tenant Protection Laws. I hope it does not come to that, as I would prefer to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship based on mutual respect and cooperation. I kindly request written acknowledgement of receipt of this notice and a timeline for the repairs. You may reach me at the contact information provided above. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
