coherence cohesion
Consider organizing your letter into clear paragraphs to separate different ideas. This will improve the reader's ability to follow your argument.
task achievement
There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrases, such as "in the context of the problem I am facing from a month" which would be clearer as "regarding a problem I have been facing for a month." Improving these will enhance clarity.
task achievement
Your letter provides a clear description of the issue with noise and how it affects you personally, which is vital for persuading the landlord.
suitable writing tone
The letter maintains a respectful and polite tone throughout, which is suitable for formal communication with a landlord.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
