Salt Lake City Utah Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand that landlord repair floors, stairs or railings: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Urgent Request for Repairs — Floors, Stairs, and Railings Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to the deteriorating condition of the floors, stairs, and railings in my rental unit located at [address]. As these are critical components of my living space, I kindly request immediate action to address the following issues: 1. Floors: The floors in various rooms of the house, specifically [mention specific areas, e.g., living room, bedroom, kitchen], are in dire need of repair. They exhibit significant signs of wear and tear, including cracks, loose tiles, and uneven surfaces. These conditions pose serious safety hazards as they can easily cause accidents and potential injuries. The constant discomfort and fear of accidents have placed a burden on my daily life. Therefore, I strongly urge you to engage a professional contractor to assess and repair the flooring promptly. 2. Stairs: The stairway leading to the second floor of the rental unit has become hazardous due to lose or broken steps, wobbly handrails, and inadequate lighting. These conditions are extremely dangerous and increase the risk of tripping and falling, especially during periods of limited visibility, such as at night or in low light conditions. This situation not only compromises my safety but also violates the terms of the lease agreement, which clearly states that you are responsible for maintaining the premises in a safe and habitable condition. I insist on immediate remediation of this hazardous situation to ensure the well-being of all occupants. 3. Railings: Furthermore, the railings both inside and outside the rental property require urgent repairs. Many railings are loose, unstable, or completely broken, which undermines the overall stability and safety of the property. Particularly with outdoor railings, the risk of accidents and injuries intensifies, as they are exposed to the elements and are used by tenants, guests, and visitors on a regular basis. I respectfully ask that you take immediate action to repair or replace these damaged railings in order to maintain a safe environment for all individuals accessing the property. It is important to note that my responsibilities as a tenant include promptly reporting any damages or issues regarding the property. In compliance with both our lease agreement and the laws governing tenant rights, I expect you, as the landlord, to fulfill your obligation to maintain the premises in a safe and habitable condition, ensuring the comfort and well-being of tenants. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter confirming your willingness to address the aforementioned repairs. Should I not receive a satisfactory response within the given timeframe or if the repairs are not initiated promptly, I may be left with no choice but to take further actions to protect my rights as a tenant and pursue necessary legal remedies. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. I appreciate your cooperation and trust that you will prioritize the necessary repairs to ensure the continued safety and habitability of my rental unit.
