RE: Withholding rent
Dear (Landlord's name):
In a letter dated _____________(date of letter #1), I informed you of the need for several
repairs at the above address. Since you have not responded in any way to my letter, and
have not taken any steps to correct the problems, it is necessary for me to take further
action.
I have opened a savings account and will be depositing my rent money into this account
until the repairs are completed. If you wish to discuss my rent-withholding or your
failure to do repairs, feel free to contact me.
Date _____________________
I hope that this problem can be settled to our mutual satisfaction.
Sincerely,
(Your name)
