Dear Mathews, I am writing to reply to the lease renewal letter that you had sent to me recently which as I have read included a rent hike. I would like to bring to attention the building facilities that are not up to code and are in disrepair.

This

apartment with its stunning views of the bay is something that I have wanted for a long time.

Therefore

, I will be renewing my lease with you but I have certain concerns about the building that I want to be addressed.

For example

, the building hasn’t had basic plumbing and fire safety maintenance in almost a year.

Additionally

, there are cracks in the walls and soft spots in the flooring which needs to be urgently addressed.

Also

, I noticed there is significant water damage in the bedroom facing the balcony.

Therefore

, I would like these issues dealt with swiftly and in an organized manner,I look forward to seeing these changes. Yours Sincerely, Sujith Mathew Geevarghese
