I am writing to bring to your attention the urgent need for repairs to be conducted on the floors, stairs, and railings of the [specific property/unit] located at [address]. As your tenant, it is my duty to inform you of any maintenance issues requiring your immediate attention. It has become evident that the condition of the floors, stairs, and railings in the premises has significantly deteriorated, posing serious safety hazards to all residents and guests. The specific issues demanding prompt repairs are as follows: Floors: 1. [Describe the issues with the floors, such as cracks, loose boards, or other damages. Focus on the potential dangers these problems can cause.] Stairs: 1. [Detail the problems or defects affecting the stairs, including wobbly or broken steps, missing handrails, uneven surfaces, or any other issues that pose safety risks.] Railings: 1. [Explain the concerns regarding the railings, such as loose or unstable railings, missing/broken sections, or inadequate support, emphasizing the dangers these deficiencies introduce.] These hazardous conditions infringe upon my right to reside in a safe and habitable living environment, as guaranteed by both local and state landlord-tenant laws. It is therefore imperative that you take immediate and appropriate action to rectify these concerns. I kindly request that you arrange for a professional inspection by a licensed contractor to thoroughly assess the extent of the damage and provide an estimate for the necessary repairs. To ensure the safety and well-being of all residents, I suggest that temporary measures, such as clearly marked warning signs or barriers, be implemented until the repairs are completed. This will help minimize the risk of accidents and injury while waiting for the necessary repairs to be undertaken. Please be advised that failure to address these repairs promptly would result in serious consequences, including potential legal actions to enforce my rights as a tenant and the imposition of financial penalties, as allowed by the tenant rights legislation. I request a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this letter, confirming your commitment to address the repair requirements and providing a clear timeline for completion. Kindly keep me informed of any progress made or unforeseen delays encountered during the repair process. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
