Dear …

Re: Urgent repairs to [your address]

I am writing about urgent repairs required at the above premises: [The toilet is blocked and leaking and requires urgent repair.]

This outstanding repair constitutes an urgent repair under section 64(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010.

I notified you of these urgent repairs on [date] and still no repairs have been done. Under section 64(3) of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 I can authorise repairs up to $1000 by a licensed or qualified person as I have given you reasonable notice that urgent repairs are required and you have not taken any action.

If you do not make arrangement to do the urgent repairs in the next two days I will arrange a plumber to fix the toilet and require you to reimburse my costs within 14 days.

Please contact me on [phone number] during work hours to arrange a convenient time for the repairs to be done.

Yours sincerely

[T Tenant]
