[Mr. or Ms. and your landlord’s name and address]
Mr. John Smith 
250 Main Street 
Anytown, PA 19999 

Dear Mr. Smith:

[Say who you are] We are your tenants at the Low Rise Apartments on Broad Street, under a lease agreement dated November 20, 2014

[Tell again what your problem is] On March 11, 2019, we wrote to you to tell you that our toilet and sewer system wasn’t working right, and asked you to fix it by March 20, 2019. We told you that waste was backing up into the sinks and the bathtub of our apartment, which made the apartment very unhealthy and unsanitary.

[Say that he has not fixed the problem and say what you plan to do] Despite our letter requesting you fix this problem, you have not repaired this problem. By not fixing it, you have broken the lease. We cannot continue to live in this apartment with this terrible situation, and are therefore ending our lease agreement, and leaving the apartment as of today, March 21, 2019.

Last, we request return of our security deposit of $550 which we gave you at the beginning of the lease. We are also asking for the interest which has accrued from the security deposit. The total refund due to us is $550 plus the amount of interest earned from the security deposit. Our forwarding address is: Susan and Fred Jones, 500 Pleasant Blvd. Niceplace, PA 29999

Thank you for your attention and response to this request.

Sincerely,

[Your (tenant’s) name and address]
Susan and Fred Jones
150 Broad Street, Apt 15 
​Anytown, PA 19999
