Subject: Urgent Request for Repairs: Tenant's Notice to Landlord — Austin, Texas [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], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter of utmost concern, regarding the persistent lack of repairs and negligence on your part as the landlord of the leased property situated in Austin, Texas. [Type 1: Initial Notice for Repairs] This letter serves as my formal notice regarding the various maintenance issues still unresolved within the property within the timeframe mandated by the Texas Property Code, Section 92.0561. Since [date of issue or lease commencement], I have consistently communicated these concerns verbally and via previous written notices, which regrettably have gone unanswered. This continued disregard for my right to a habitable dwelling warrants immediate action. [Type 2: Follow-up Notice for Previously Notified Repairs] Further to our previous correspondence dated [previous notice date], wherein I duly alerted you of the deteriorating condition within the leased premises, I regret to inform you that no repairs have been undertaken since then, leaving me inconvenienced and living in an unlivable environment." To provide clarity, the current problems requiring immediate attention are as follows: 1. [Describe the specific issue in detail (e.g., leaking roof, defective electrical wiring, malfunctioning HVAC system, plumbing problems, mold infestation, etc.). Emphasize how the defect poses a significant threat to health, safety, or utility within the property.] 2. [Elaborate on any associated damages that have occurred as a result of the unresolved issues, highlighting any potential risks or aggravated inconveniences that have emerged (e.g., property damage, personal injury, increased utility bills). This helps to demonstrate the urgency of the necessary repairs.] I implore you to comply with your legal obligations as stipulated in the Texas Property Code, specifically Sec. 92.052 and Sec. 92.0561. These statutes require landlords to maintain the rental property in a safe and habitable condition throughout the tenancy. Failure to uphold these statutory obligations may result in legal consequences, including but not limited to lease termination and compensation claims. In light of the situation, I kindly request that you address the aforementioned repairs immediately. I expect a written response within [reasonable timeframe: e.g., 10 business days] from the date of this letter indicating scheduled repairs or outlining a detailed plan of action to rectify these issues. Failure to respond within the stipulated timeframe will leave me no option but to exercise my legal rights. I maintain a high regard for our professional relationship and hope that you will handle this matter with the necessary attention and care it deserves. Please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone to discuss any further details or schedule an inspection. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
