Letter demanding repairs from the landlord

We draft your letter demanding that the landlord repair a problem, with the deadline you set, citing the relevant Civil Code articles. This is not legal advice or representation, and it does not replace a formal complaint or a lawsuit if the landlord does not respond.

This is not legal advice or representation. The letter demands repair of what you describe, with a deadline, and cites Article 1680, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code (the landlord must carry out necessary repairs, unless otherwise agreed) and Article 1682 (immediate notice; urgent repairs carry a right to reimbursement if you notify at the same time). If the problem keeps you from using part of the property, the letter also cites your right to a rent reduction or to end the contract (Article 1674). We do not decide whether your case is a "necessary" repair or "ordinary maintenance" — that depends on the facts — so the letter reserves those rights conditionally, not as settled facts. Read more in who pays for what repair in a rental.
Required so the letter can be delivered (via notary or by hand, with proof of receipt).
Describe the problem in as much detail as possible: what it is, since when, and whether it keeps you from using part of the property.
If you already reported it verbally or by message, this letter formalizes it from that date.
For example, "7 calendar days." Should be reasonable given the urgency.

It is a draft that you review and file yourself. It is not legal advice or representation. Delivering it is free and you do not need a lawyer; what you pay for is the drafting.
