Dear Sir’
You will realize that it is not possible to undertake large-scale repairs because of the expenditure involved’ but we shall undertake such repairs as may be necessary to save the building from a possible collapse during the ensuing rains. Necessary repairs will begin immediately.
Yours faithfully’
Shah Elahi.
Dear Sir’
I have been the occupant of your house No. 234′ Golden Gali’ Silver Tow’ for the last three years. But I regret to say that the house has never been whitewashed. Kindly get it whitewashed and also get small repairs effected otherwise allow me to get the some done myself and deduct the amount from rent for the next month.
Yours faithfully’
Karam Din.
Dear Sir’
With reference to your yesterday’s letter’ you get the building whitewashed and have small repairs effected. Please make sure that the cost of repairs remains within reasonable limits and the money spent by you can be adjusted against one month’s rent only. I hardly need to add that the cost involved in excess of this estimate will not be payable by me.
Yours faithfully,
Yousaf Ali.
Dear Sir’ I am pained to write that while you are very punctual in getting you rent’ you are quite forgetful of taking it as your duty to ensure convenience to your tenants. I have warned you many a time that the taps are leaking and the roof needs repairs as dust falls from it’ but you have never chosen to take my complaint seriously. If you are not in a position to take any steps to make the building habitable’ then please allow me to get it repaired out of the rent payable to you. May I add that failing to receive any satisfactory reply from you I will stop paying you rent until the matter is decided by Court. Don’t think I bear any ill-will against you. The repairs are essential for the maintenance of your property as well as saving us from undue sufferance.
Yours faithfully’

Dear Sir’
I acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated July 18. In reply please allow me to say that your threat of legal and extra legal action is not going to unserve me. I am as much concerned about the safety of my property as you are. All that is possible will be done before the next rains. Please pay rent for the last two months which you are unnecessarily withholding’ otherwise I shall be forced to take legal action for the same.
Yours faithfully,
Lal Din.
Dear Sir’
Considering the general standard of rents prevailing in the locality and the condition of your building and its better upkeep by us’ I feel rent charged by you is excessive and not justified normally or otherwise. Therefore’ instead of going to Court under the Rent Act and bringing in the Rent Controller to do the job’ may I request you to reduce the rent yourself bearing in mind the good relations we have been having ever since the start of my tenancy in your premises. Anticipating a reasonable reply from you.
Yours faithfully’

Dear Sir’
I have a great regard for you as a good tenant. Bearing in mind the good relations we are having and continue to have’ I reduce the rent from Rs. 850/- a month to Rs. 750/- with effect from March 1993. But the fact of this reduction must be kept private so as not to disturb other tenants. I hope you will appreciate my offer.
Yours faithfully’
Ramzan Azhar.
Dear Sir’
I am in receipt of your threatening letter. I am already charging you much less rent than even the Municipal Corporation charges me by way of House Taxi for the premises occupied by you. Therefore’ I do not think that I can be persuaded to reduce the rent. But if you want to seek reduction through the Rent Control Act’ I will not stand in your way.
Yours faithfully’
Ramzan Azhar.
Dear Mr. Wali-ur-Rehman.
I am sorry to have troubled you’ but it was on purpose that I withheld the payment of your rent. As I have repeatedly drawn your attention’ repairs to my flat have long fallen overdue. As you have not fulfilled your promise of effecting the repairs’ I am myself planning to do the same and deduct the cost from the rent payable. Hope you would appreciate my difficulties and approve this arrangement.
Thanking you’
Yours faithfully’

Dear Sir’
I am surprised to note that you are persistently asking for reduction in rent as also for renovations and repairs. I regret to say that neither of the two demands id possible of fulfillment in the near future. Your rent was fixed when houses were many and tenants few. Since then you know everything has gone up—- wages’ prices’ or expenses on building material etc. —- but I am charging you the same rent as you paid ten years back. Therefore’ I request you to undertake all the repairs yourself. Also think in terms of increasing the rent in accordance with the rise in the cost of building material.
Yours faithfully’
X.Y.Z.
(Landlord)
