LETTER TO LANDLORD

SCENARIO 1: REPAIR OF LEAKY ROOF

Band 7 Answer
Dear [Landlord’s Name],

I am writing to inform you about a problem in my rented apartment. Recently, I noticed that the roof in my bedroom is leaking, especially during heavy rain. The leak has caused water to drip onto my furniture and floor, which is now damaged.

I kindly request that you arrange for repairs as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Additionally, please let me know if I need to be at home when the repair team comes. I would appreciate it if the work could be done within the next week, as the rainy season is continuing.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

I believe that repainting will maintain the apartment in good condition and prevent further deterioration. I hope to carry out this work at a mutually convenient time and would appreciate your approval before proceeding.
