I would really appreciate it if you could help me with the text.
Dear Ms. xy,
Since the beginning of autumn, I have often tried to reach someone from the housing association, but I have not received any response. I have the problem that our windows are not airtight and cold air is coming in. Therefore, I have the right to have them replace the windows or to have a reduction in rent. I would be pleased if you would give me a prompt response. Kind regards
If it were to come to me, I would set deadlines and make clear demands. You don’t have to ask. Like that:
Dear Mrs xy,
since (Here the month) I have tried repeatedly in vain to contact the house administration.
In our apartment the windows are not dense. This constantly attracts cold air.
This is a lack of it without delay have to stop.
We therefore call for:
1. immediate Emergency repair
Two. A timely exchange of the windows.
Should no emergency repair be made until 19.01.2024, we will reduce the further rental payments by 20%.
Best regards
In this case, if the second sentence is equally large and one point at the end follows. Other possibilities also work…
A comma between “success” and “becoming” would be good and correct.
Thank you very much.
Very much. Very beautifully formulated!
Not bad, I changed it a little.
Dear Mrs xy,
Since the beginning of autumn I try to reach you by phone at regular intervals. As my concern is urgent, I will now report on this path.
There is the problem that our windows are not dense, which is why cold air enters the apartment and the rooms cannot be properly heated. A further result resulting from this is that more heating energy is consumed than under normal circumstances.
Since you are obligated to remedy this deficiency, I ask you to order a person skilled in the art to remove xxx. If this is not possible, I would like to make use of my right to rent reduction.
I ask for feedback on how we remain and thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards
These writing suggestions as to read here are suitable for the landlord to convey that you do not know the rental laws well. This is not about requests, but about demands, so write something for the landlord feels to initiate repair immediately:
” Dear landlord,
With this I will report you housing deficiencies to be eliminated without delay. I will set you a deadline until 17.01.2024 to make the tightness of my windows. If you exceed this date, I will initiate a replacement according to § 536a BGB. At the same time, I will make use of my rental right in accordance with §536 BGBB until I have been fully reimbursed and will reduce the total rental by 20% from 17.01.2024.
Best regards
Renter xyz”
Advance: You direct this letter to the landlord personally and immediately, or send it to the landlord as a registered letter on Monday, 15.01.24.
P.S. Since the beginning of the fall of 2023, my communication attempts with their administration have remained unsuccessful.
Some small mistakes, so it should be better:
Dear Mrs xy,
Since the beginning of autumn I often try to reach someone from the housing company. However, I do not receive feedback. I have the problem that our windows are not dense and getting in cold air. I think I have the right to renew the windows or to have a right to mitigation. I’d be happy if they give me a feedback soon.
Welcome
I would re-form the sentence – it is not only lacking the conjunction “that”, also the word “habe” is too much at the beginning, and the variant with “I think I have the right…” you could write better.
I’ve read it out
All right.
