State that you will be making a complaint. Explain why you are making a complaint and make sure to add your account of the event and other supporting facts. Let the management know what steps you wish to be made to address your complaint. End on a positive tone.

You should say something like: I am giving 1 month's notice to end my tenancy, as required by law. I will be leaving the property on (date xxxxx). I would like you to be at the property on the day I move out to check the premises and for me to return the keys.

Your landlord is always responsible for repairs to: the property's structure and exterior. basins, sinks, baths and other sanitary fittings including pipes and drains. heating and hot water.

To give you an idea, it's in good taste to start your letter "Dear Mr./Ms. Insert Name Here," as is the case with any polite letter. No matter how much you might want to give your landlord a piece of your mind, do yourself a favor and refrain from calling him a slumlord.

A burst water service or a serious water service leak. A blocked or broken toilet. A serious roof leak. A gas leak. A dangerous electrical fault. Flooding or serious flood damage. Serious storm or fire damage.

One way to get your landlord to fix bad conditions is to withhold all or some of your rent until the landlord actually makes the repairs. This is called "rent withholding." Tenants have a right to withhold rent because landlords are obligated to provide safe and habitable housing under the warranty of habitability.

Make sure the repair is actually your landlord's responsibility. Document the problem thoroughly. Ask your landlord in writing to make the repair. Send your landlord a letter with return receipt requested.
