Big repairs are needed. It is up to the owner

 

Your boiler needs to be replaced, the roof is leaking, the windows are worm-eaten… These major repairs are the responsibility of your landlord, who must undertake them as soon as they become necessary. If he does not hear your oral requests, go to the simple registered letter.

 

In a rental, we distinguish between rental repairs, at the expense of the tenant, major repairs, at the expense of the lessor. Constitute rental repairs, maintenance and minor repairs; decree n ° 87-712 of August 26, 1987 gives a detailed indicative list. Other repairs are the responsibility of the lessor, and this is particularly the case whenever faulty equipment needs to be replaced.

 

Dear,

 

As I have informed you on several occasions, the boiler in my home has been out of service since (date) and cannot be repaired.

 

I am therefore without heating since this date, which causes me a certain prejudice.

 

That is why I am asking you to replace this boiler as soon as possible.

 

Without a response from you within eight days, I will be forced to bring our dispute to the district court. And I will then ask not only for the execution of the work, but also for damages for the disturbance of enjoyment that I suffered.

 

Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my best regards.
