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 Sir,
I am writing
this
letter to ask for an extension on my rent agreement.
Would you mind if I stayed in this
apartment for another 6 months? It will serve me a great deal of benefit as it is currently the best place for me to stay.
Due to
my study requirements, I have to take a mathematic
course at my university. Since The building is in the vicinity of my university, I can easily commute to work and do not need to take the bus.
There is an issue I want you to consider with regard to the building. Sometimes the fire keeps blinking and has caused a Replace the word

disturbance to the neighbours. I would appreciate it if you could replace the faulty alarm with a new one.
I trust you take my modest proposal into consideration, and make the changes at your earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully,
