A written, dated repair request is the single most useful piece of evidence in a maintenance dispute. It proves your landlord knew about the problem and when. Fill in the fields below to generate a clear letter you can copy, print, or email.

Keep a copy and proof you sent it (a saved email or a photo of the letter). If the repair still isn't made, this letter supports a T6 application to the Landlord and Tenant Board.
