Task: Imagine that your apartment or rented home has become unlivable. You believe your landlord is responsible for fixing the damage but he has not done so. Write a letter of 250-500 words in which you: Identify the problem and the cost for fixing the problem.
Explain how the problem impacts the residents’ health and the livability of the unit.
Describe the remedy you will take (deduct the cost of the repairs, withhold rent, or abandon the unit).
