Subject: Leaking Kitchen Tap – Repair Request

Hi [Landlord's Name],

I hope you're well. I wanted to let you know that the kitchen tap in my flat has started leaking. It's a steady drip, and I'm concerned it could waste water or cause damage if it's left too long.

Would it be possible to arrange for someone to take a look and fix it this week? I'm happy to work around your or the plumber's schedule. Just let me know which days and times suit, and I'll make sure someone is home to give access.

Thanks very much for your help. I appreciate it!

Kind regards, [Your Name] [Your Address/Unit Number] [Phone Number]

Subject: Maintenance request: Leaking kitchen tap - [Your Apartment/House Number]

Hi [Landlord's Name],

I hope you’re having a good week.

I'm writing to let you know that the kitchen tap has started leaking. It’s a steady drip, so I wanted to let you know right away before it wastes too much water or causes any damage.

Would it be possible to have someone come take a look at it sometime this week? I am generally available [mention your availability, e.g., on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons], or I am happy to give permission for you or a plumber to enter while I’m at work.

Thanks so much for your help!

Best regards,

[Your Name] [Your Phone Number]
