Dear Mr. Petiwala,
My name is Gulshan Khan, and I rented your apartment on Civil Lines Road for 5 years back in October 2015. I am writing
this
letter to thank you for being a kind and generous landlord and to let you know that the lease of the apartment is coming to an end in the next four months. Also
, I have decided to move out early and will be handing over the keys to your agent by the end of this
week.
I have been offered a job by the United Nations, for which I have to relocate to New York by the end of this
month. The visa processing and other documentation will be done in Islamabad. Practically, the house will be empty, and my house help will ship my belongings to the US.
I just wanted to let you know that there is some repair work needed around the house. The main water supply line is rusty and will break any day. The ceiling in the lounge also
started leaking during this
monsoon season. Therefore
, before giving the apartment to another tenant, please get these issues resolved so that you do not have any problems.
I hope you will resolve the maintenance issues.
Yours sincerely,
Gulsher.Submitted by hudibaiqbal on
