Dear [Landlord's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a reduction in my rent due to the ongoing patio renovations at my apartment, which have caused significant inconvenience and disruption to my living conditions. I have been a tenant at [Apartment Name/Address] for 12 years and have always strived to be a great tenant.
The renovations, which are expected to continue until April, have resulted in considerable noise, dust, and the inability to use my patio. These disruptions have impacted my daily life and comfort in the following ways:
- [Describe the specific issues, e.g., loud noise, dust, inability to use the patio]
- [Include any dates or times of particularly significant disruptions]
Considering these circumstances, I kindly request a temporary reduction in my monthly rent until the renovations are completed. I believe this adjustment is fair and justified given
