Apartment Problems: Ousehold Roblems AND Epairs Eading

Irene Radi, a new tenant in apartment 5A at 1400 Carlson Dr, wrote a letter to her landlord Mr. Fanler about several issues in her new apartment. She notes that the bathroom sink faucet is dripping, the door chain on the front door is broken with no peephole to see who is at the door, and the windows in the bedroom are painted shut with the air conditioner not working as summer is coming. She requests that a plumber be sent to fix the leaky faucet, a repair person be sent to fix the broken door chain, and an electrician be called to address the non-working air conditioner and painted shut windows.

Apartment Problems

1400 Carlson Dr., Apt. 5A


June 16th

Dear Mr. Fanler:


I left a phone message, but you haven’t called
back. I am your new tenant and I have some
problems in my apartment.
1. The bathroom sink faucet is dripping, so I need a
plumber.
2. The door chain on the front door is broken, and
there is no peephole. I have to unlock the deadbolt to
see who is at the door. Can you send a repair
person?
3. The windows in the bedroom are painted shut, and
the air conditioner is not working. Summer is coming
and the apartment is very hot. Would you please call
an electrician?
Thank you,
Irene Radi
