Five months ago, you started renting an apartment on a six-month agreement. You now wish to stay in the apartment for longer than the six months you originally agreed with the owner. Write a letter to the owner of your apartment. In your letter • say how long you now want to rent the apartment for • explain why your plans have changed • tell the owner about a problem in the apartment
Dear Mr. Anderson,
I am writing
this
request letter to increase my stay at your apartment number 8, 5th floor, Delta Rise, Surrey for more than six months
.
At the onset, as per our contract, I have been staying in this
condominium since March 5 this
year and next month will be the end of this
six-month contract. I wish to increase this
agreement for the next two months
, which means up to October 5.
Further
, the reason behind it is the central election, the completion of my road construction project is now being halted for the next one and half months
as per the governmental code of conduct. Therefore
, I have no option left except to increase my stay here.
Lastly
, I have been experiencing an issue with the tap near to toilet seat, which is dripping all the time. I have tried to tighten it up but the issue is still there. Thus
, it will be appreciable if you please resolve it at the earliest.
I hope you will extend this
contract for two more months
and I am happy to bear any extra cost for it.
Yours faithfully,
Jacob BrownSubmitted by Mrjit147 on
