[Your address] [Your landlord/ letting agents address] [Todays date] Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Request for repairs at [property address] [Describe the repairs needed] [List your concerns eg were worried that if left untended this problem could cause damage to my property] [Your name]
Unlike other states, renters in Louisiana cannot withhold rent if landlords do not make repairs. If rent is withheld, landlords have grounds for legal eviction. Renters in Orleans Parish are also reminded that they have a right to an attorney in Orleans Parish Eviction Court.
Here are some tips for writing an effective letter to your landlord requesting repairs: Be specific about the problem(s). Clearly describe the issue(s) you are experiencing, such as a leaky faucet, broken appliance, or needed maintenance. Provide details on the location, severity, and any safety/health concerns.
I would recommend you write a letter to your landlord politely asking him to do a walkthrough of your apartment and ask for repairs . Dont be demanding, dont threaten or withhold rent as that would be grounds for eviction. Its best to have your requests in writing as well as his responses .
Things You Should Know Address your letter to your landlord, date it, and state the purpose of the letter. In the body of your letter, ask for any refundable deposits to be returned to you, and provide the landlord with your new address. Make a copy of your letter and check your contracts delivery clause.
