Round Rock Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Floors, Stairs or Railings [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], Re: Urgent Maintenance Request — Repair of Floors, Stairs, and Railings I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the deteriorating condition of the floors, stairs, and railings in my rental unit located at [Rental Address]. As your tenant, it is my responsibility to inform you of any deficiencies that require immediate attention for the safety and habitability of the property. The primary purpose of this letter is to demand that you promptly address the following maintenance issues: 1. Floors: The flooring throughout the premises has become extensively damaged and poses a significant safety hazard. There are noticeable sections where the floorboards are loose, cracked, or warped, which not only compromises the aesthetics but also can lead to accidents, trips, or falls. Therefore, I kindly request that you arrange for the repair or replacement of the damaged flooring as soon as possible. 2. Stairs: The stairs leading to my unit have noticeably weakened over time and display signs of wear and tear. The treads are loose, and some steps have developed cracks, making it increasingly hazardous to navigate the stairs. This poses a severe safety concern for myself and other tenants residing in the building. It is imperative that you undertake the necessary repairs to ensure the stability and structural integrity of the staircase. 3. Railings: In addition to the deteriorated stairs, the railings that provide support and stability have significantly deteriorated. The railings exhibit rust, looseness, or missing segments, making them unfit for their intended purpose of ensuring tenant safety. I urge you to promptly repair or replace the existing railings to prevent accidents and to comply with building safety codes. As per [state/local] law and the terms of our lease agreement, it is your legal obligation as the landlord to maintain the premises in a habitable condition. Failure to address these urgent repairs may result in further harm, inconvenience, and potential legal consequences. Moreover, it is in your best interest to maintain the value and marketability of your property by promptly addressing these maintenance concerns. Therefore, I kindly request that you initiate the repairs within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., seven days] of receiving this letter. Please confirm in writing the exact timeline for the repairs and provide me with regular updates regarding the progress made. If necessary, I am open to arranging a mutually convenient time for your maintenance personnel or a contracted professional to assess the damages firsthand. If you fail to fulfill your responsibility within the allotted timeframe, I may have no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant, which could include legal action, withholding rent per [state/local] laws, or seeking alternative accommodation until repairs have been completed to my satisfaction. I trust that you will treat this matter with utmost seriousness and take immediate action to ensure the safety and well-being of your tenants. I appreciate your prompt attention to this urgent matter. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I look forward to a swift resolution.
