Tenant's Maintenance Request Letter

A Tenant Maintenance Request Letter is used by a tenant to alert their landlord or property manager to any repairs that are necessary at a rental property. This letter can serve as a record that the landlord was aware of the issue before a tenant pursues further action.

How to use this document?

This document allows the tenant to detail and describe any repairs to the property that they would like the landlord to make. The repairs should be described in as much detail as possible so that the landlord has all of the information they need in order to make the appropriate plans necessary to complete the repair in a timely manner. This Request Letter gives the Tenant the chance to remind their landlord of the required notice they must receive prior to the landlord, as well as contractors and other third parties hired by the landlord to make repairs, entering the property.

Applicable Law

Repairs and tenant's rights are dictated by provincial and territorial law. More information about laws and statutes controlling the expediency with which repairs must be made and legal action that tenants can take if repairs are not made in a timely manner can be found with the provincial and territorial housing boards.
