As noted earlier, the landlord has the right to inspect the property. The rental property must be safe and sanitary and be maintained throughout the rental period. If repairs are necessary for safety or sanitation, the landlord must make such repairs without cost to the tenant.
When responding to a landlord, keep your letter clear and concise. Focus on relevant facts like lease terms, payment history, and specific concerns. Avoid overly long explanations or emotional language. Highlight your willingness to resolve issues and stay in the home. Proofread for clarity and professionalism.
When you write your own letter, include: names, dates, your address and signature. a description of the problems. background information if you already talked to the super or asked for repairs. a request for advance notice if they will come to your apartment, so you can plan.

If the landlord fails to make requested repairs, the tenant should first submit a written notice of the needed repairs, citing the landlords responsibilities under the lease agreement. If the landlord has not made the repairs within 30 days, the tenant can have the repairs made and seek reimbursement.

Residential Landlord Tenant Act At the outset, lets clear up one common misunderstanding: Mississippi law does NOT allow you to withhold your rent until the landlord makes a repair. Nor does Mississippi law allow you to repair and deduct except under certain very specific conditions which are discussed below.
If your tenant will not allow you access to do repairs then you need to lawyer up with a local landlord-tenant lawyer and send a demand letter to the tenant to grant access or else you will sue them for eviction. They are in bdocHub of the lease and law by denying access to make repairs.
