Title: Brownsville, Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Demand for Repairs on Floors, Stairs, or Railings Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the conditions of the floors, stairs, and railings within the rental property located at [address]. Over the past few months, I have observed noticeable damages and safety hazards in these areas, necessitating immediate attention and repairs. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is essential to address these issues promptly to ensure the well-being and functionality of the rental property. Paragraph 1: Description of the floor repairs needed, The current condition of the floors within the premises is in dire need of repair. There are several cracks, loose tiles, and uneven surfaces scattered throughout the property, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. These imperfections pose a significant safety risk, as they can easily cause trips, falls, or injuries. Moreover, the damaged floors diminish the aesthetic appeal of the property, tarnishing its overall value. In the interest of maintaining a safe and attractive living space, I kindly request your immediate attention to resolve these issues. Paragraph 2: Description of the stair repairs needed, The stairs leading both inside and outside the property are also in an alarming state. The tread on some stairs has eroded, exposing sharp edges and creating an unstable footing. In addition, several handrails are damaged or missing, making it unsafe to traverse the stairs, especially during nighttime or inclement weather conditions. The risks associated with the current condition of the stairs heighten the probability of potential accidents or injuries. I urge you to prioritize the repair and restoration of the stairs to ensure the safety of all occupants. Paragraph 3: Description of the railing repairs needed, The railings in the rental property require immediate attention. Numerous railings are loose, unstable, or completely detached. This not only compromises the safety of individuals using the railings but also violates local building codes and regulations. It is crucial to rectify these railing defects promptly and bring them back into compliance to eliminate the possibility of accidents, particularly for those in need of physical assistance. I kindly ask that you address this issue promptly to ensure the safety and convenience of all tenants. Conclusion: In accordance with the Texas Property Code Section 92.056, which mandates landlords to "make a diligent effort to repair a condition" that materially affects the physical health or safety of ordinary tenants, I respectfully request your immediate attention to rectify the mentioned flooring, stairs, and railing issues. Prompt action will not only ensure the safety and well-being of all occupants but also maintain the integrity and value of the rental property. Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters. I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Address] [Tenant's Contact Information] Alternative Names for the Letter: 1.
