Excerpts from actual letters sent to landlords ...

1. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared.

3. This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door.
4. The toilet seat is cracked: where do I stand?
5. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall.
6. I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.
7. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.
8. The person next door has a large erection in his back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.
9. Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk? Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant.
10. Our kitchen floor is very damp, we have two children and would like a third, so will you please send someone to do something about it.
11. Will you please send a man to look at my water? It is a funny color and not fit to drink.
12. Would you please send a man to repair my downspout? I am an old-age pensioner and need it straight away.
13. Could you please send someone to fix our bath tap? My wife got her toe stuck in it and it is very uncomfortable for us.
