Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally report several maintenance issues at my new residence, Flat 4B, which have significantly hindered my family’s ability to settle in since our arrival last week.
Specifically, the central heating system is completely non-functional, leaving the apartment freezing during the night. Furthermore, there is a persistent leak under the kitchen sink, which has already caused water damage to the wooden cabinetry and is creating an unpleasant odour throughout the kitchen area.
I request that you arrange for a qualified plumber and a heating engineer to visit the premises within the next 48 hours to rectify these defects. Given the current weather conditions and the potential for further structural damage caused by the leak, these repairs are a matter of urgency.
Should these issues remain unresolved by the end of the week, I shall have no choice but to arrange for independent contractors to perform the necessary work and deduct the costs from next month’s rent. I trust this will not be necessary and look forward to your prompt confirmation of a repair schedule.
Yours faithfully,
Arthur Pendelton
