My lease states that if I provide a written request for repairs, the lessor has an obligation to make those repairs within a reasonable amount of time. According to the attorney general, 7 days is a reasonable amount of time. If the repairs have not been made, a second request may be submitted. If they have not made the repairs after this, we may terminate the lease. My question is, what constitutes a written request? Do we have to go through the lessor's normal maintenance request protocol? Or does a formal complaint we submitted to the landlord count? Does an email to him also count?
Answer
Unless the lease specifies otherwise written means anything in writing. You would want some sort of dating mechanism shows that. A certified letter has this, so does an email.
