Dear Name of Landlord:
I have notified you five times about the neighbors living on the adjacent property, which you also own. From the first day we have lived here, they have let their dog run wild.
Their dog has torn our flowers, kid’s toys and even has attacked my youngest daughter. I have called the sheriff’s office, the dog pound and used all local resources I can.
The first time I contacted you was on April 25th, 20xx, right after we moved in. You stated you would take care of it. I contacted you again on May 29th, 20xx when my children’s cats were killed by this dog.
Then on June 16th, 2016, I told you the dog had torn up all our flowers we just planted and sent you pics of him in action. Also, you were notified that police reports were filed on July 8 and July 29, 20xx.
If we open our side door, the dog runs in our house. The dog warden has come out on many occasions and has even taken him in, fining the other party. The fact is that you are responsible for this neighbor and their dog, as they are your tenant. We are good tenants and pay our rent on time.
We keep your home in good repair. However, we are not living when we can’t have anything, including toys, outside our home. This large Akita mix is a danger to our family, especially my children.
If this situation is not rectified immediately, we intend to find another place to live. We would like to resolve this matter in a civil method, but we fully intend on taking this to the next level to protect our family. Please contact us at once to discuss a resolution. We can be reached at 614-891-7458.
Sincerely,

Dear Name of Landlord:
I live in your property at the above address and have lived here for the past three years. I would like to report that there is a leak under the kitchen sink that has caused dampness there for the past month.
I waited to inform you because I was hoping it was an anomaly and would stop. However, it has not gone away, and the area has been damp for some time. My concern is that mold will begin to grow and pollute the indoor air quality.
According to our rental agreement, you are responsible for any plumbing repairs to the house. I have not previously requested any help because there have not been any major issues, but this one could cause health problems for my wife.
I would appreciate if it could be repaired within the next week. If my request is ignored, I will be forced to employ a plumber and deduct the cost from my rent.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. You can reach me at Phone Number or Email Address if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Signature of Tenant
