I've been having issues with my apartment....?

Question

What do you think of this letter as our semi-final course of action?

To whom it may concern;

By these means I wish to inform you that I have made various attempts at getting certain issues fixed at my current apartment, 756B. Amongst the things that must be addressed are the following;

1) The current dishwasher has not worked since we moved in.
2) There is a cracked tile in my living room
3) The bathtubs floor is cracking
4) The balcony screens are missing/broken
5) There is water damage to the wood under the sink in the master bathroom
6) The sink in the master bathroom is rusty
7) The air ducts need to be cleaned due to severe allergies
8) The water heater does not supply sufficient hot water (It only lasts about 5 minutes).

All of these issues have been there since we first moved in. This was back in March. We have given a list to Alison and spoken to Noreen and Alison on various occasions with no avail. When we first came to the complex we were shown a model apartment which had been renovated and expected to live in a similar one. This did not happen. We were fine with it as long as the little things that were wrong with our apartment were taken care of promptly. 4 months should have been more than enough time to fix these small issues. We are now seeking prompt action on your part to resolve these issues within the next month or we will be forced to with hold a partial amount of the rent due to the fact that these issues lower the value of the apartment. If action is not taken within the next 30 days we will be going to small claims court. We do not wish to take this action. We enjoy living at Royal Isles Apartments but we have made too many failed attempts to have this resolved.

Thank you in advanced
Your neighbors in 756B
Mrs. & Mr. Martinez

To be legal, get an escrow account at your bank. Put the rent money in this account showing the owners that it's there until they repair everything. Before you do this though, check with the bank, and/or an attorney to be sure it's legal. Good Luck.

I'm guessing you are hella rich, and live in the suburbs...Honestly, it could be ALOT worse.

I'm pretty sure if anyone inspected my building, it would be shutdown....There is barely any hot water flow in the bathroom sink, half our (drop) ceiling in the bathroom is missing, there screen door on the balcony is broken, parts of cement from the balcony above us keep falling, there are major cracks on our balcony, hardly any of the doors have handles, they are always turning off the water or power (with no warning!) and not to mention the huge mice and roach problem. And i don't even have it bad off compared to others...

whether they are immature, you should start up via coming near the buddies particularly than the individuals on the workplace. as quickly as you pass to the workplace, issues become lots extra formal. in actuality, it would be very probable that the buddies would become even worse! there is an possibility that they would be impolite once you refer to them in individual, yet regrettably, you will ought to take that possibility in case you go with to get this concern resolved. keep issues casual. certainly one of you (the two you or your husband/boyfriend) ought to pay a delightful pass to. Introduce your self ("hi, i've got seen you around, yet i don't think of we've met; i'm Sandy"), then state gently and quickly what the priority is. do not make an apology (i'm in basic terms thinking in case you should do me a choose and keep the parking spot in front of our place of abode unfastened. i've got observed that it gets used lots via your visitors. i'm going to attempt to maintain yours unfastened.). they might in basic terms be youthful and clueless particularly than intentionally attempting to annoy you. If that doesn't paintings, then mindset the workplace. stable success.
