When to send a rent reduction request
Send when part of the home has been unusable for a stretch, or a repair delay has cost you, and you want a dated request for reduced rent or compensation.
What to include
Dates affected
Start and, if relevant, the date it was still not fixed.
The reduction you are asking for
A figure or a percentage, not just 'fair'.
Evidence
Photos, reports, or extra costs you incurred.
Mistakes that weaken the letter
