been advised to write a letter to my landlord requesting work to be carried out, is this letter ok
We are writing to inform you of some repair work that needs to be carried out at the property above, which we rent from you.
The repair work needed to my home is as follows:
Repair of collapsed ceiling due to leak in bedroom
Repair of plaster work in kitchen, as bubbles up when painting due to damp
Repair of kitchen drawers that have the back missing
Repair of wall in bathroom where plaster is coming away form the wall, due to damp and now causing mold
Repair of chimney in loft as this is where i believe the leak is
Reskimming of the walls in all bedrooms, due to the damp and mold
Reskimming of a wall in living room, due to damp coming throught the wall and ruining the paint
Reskimming of walls in utility room, due to damp and mold
Replacement of plug socket in living room that was broken before we moved in
Replacement of rotten skirting board in dining room
Replacement of rotten door frame on back door
Check and possible replacement of slate in bathroom that is coming away from the walls due to damp
Not only is this inconvenient but we am concerned that the disrepair may cause more damage to the property if it is not fixed immediately.
We are also worried that the problem may have an adverse effect on our health and/or the health of our family. Due to the fact that i have to childrean aged 6 and 8 whos rooms have damp and mold in, and also my partner is 5 months pregnant
We are also worried that the damp that is in the walls is ruining out furniture and clothes
Wea re also unable to use one of the bedrooms, due to the wold and running water, when it rains
We have to bleach the walls at least once a week
We also understand that the damp problem and mold, is the reason tenants have left in the past, so we are sure that you are aware of the problem which has yet to be retifed
We would be most grateful if you could contact me as soon as possible to arrange a time for the repair work to be carried out.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
is it to do with the "what are my rights" thread
