I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue that requires immediate attention — the recurring plumbing problem in my rented property located in Pasadena, Texas. As a responsible tenant, I have taken prompt action to inform you about this matter, and I kindly request that you address and resolve the plumbing issues promptly. Paragraph 1: Explanation of the Problem First and foremost, I would like to outline the specific plumbing issues that have persisted in the rental property. Over the past few months, I have repeatedly experienced leaks in the bathroom, kitchen, and even in some walls. The leaks have caused significant damage to the property and, if left unattended, may lead to more extensive and costly repairs. Paragraph 2: Impact on Daily Life and Well-being As a result of the plumbing problems, my daily life has been severely affected. I must constantly deal with water disruptions and the fear of potential water damage to my personal belongings. The situation has also caused inconvenience when carrying out essential tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene. Furthermore, the presence of excess moisture and dampness can lead to mold growth, which poses health risks to me and potentially other residents. Paragraph 3: Previous Requests for Repairs I would like to highlight that I have previously brought these plumbing issues to your attention on [mention specific dates or instances]. Despite my patience and understanding, the repairs were never performed adequately or in a timely manner. This has resulted in recurring problems and an overall unsatisfactory living condition. Paragraph 4: Legal Rights and Rent Reduction As a tenant, I have the legal right to a habitable dwelling, which includes functional plumbing systems. According to the Pasadena, Texas Tenant-Landlord Act [cite specific code if available], it is your obligation as the landlord to maintain the property in good repair. Given the gravity of the ongoing plumbing issues and their impact on my quality of life, I must insist that you take immediate action to rectify the problem. Moreover, I kindly request that you consider a rent reduction for the duration during which the plumbing issues have persisted. The inconvenience and compromised standard of living caused by the negligence in performing necessary repairs warrant a fair adjustment in my rent to reflect the temporary inadequate conditions. Conclusion: In conclusion, I kindly ask you, as my landlord, to take this matter seriously and schedule necessary repairs promptly to ensure the plumbing problems are comprehensively resolved. I trust that you understand the urgency and importance of addressing these issues swiftly to prevent further damage and inconvenience. Please inform me as soon as possible when repairs will begin and be completed. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address] [Optional: Attach supporting documents, such as photographs or copies of previous complaint letters]
