When repairs go unaddressed, a written notice helps document the issue and the deadline you provided. This free tool generates a repair-and-deduct notice letter you can sign and send with proof of delivery.

When to use this

  • You need to document repair issues and a clear deadline for action.
  • A landlord requested written notice before scheduling repairs.
  • You want a clean record for a repair-and-deduct process where allowed.

  1. Open the Repair and Deduct Notice Letter PDF tool.
  2. Add tenant, landlord, and property details for the header.
  3. Describe the condition issues and note any prior notices.
  4. Choose a repair deadline and delivery method, then download the PDF.

Why this helps

  • Creates a dated notice with a clear timeline in one place.
  • Helps you stay organized with a professional, court-ready letter.
  • Gives you a copy to pair with photos, receipts, and delivery proof.

Not legal advice. Courts set their own rules. Keep your original records.

What to include in your notice

  • The exact repair issues and how they impact habitability or safety.
  • Dates of prior calls, emails, or texts about the problem.
  • A reasonable deadline for repairs and your preferred contact method.
  • Photos, receipts, or inspection notes you can attach later.

How to deliver the letter

Certified mail is the best practice because it creates a delivery record. You can also hand-deliver with a witness or send by email if allowed by your lease. Keep copies of the letter and any delivery receipts.
