Dear Accommodation Officer,

I am writing this letter to bring to your notice about the various problems I am facing with the room I am living in. I am sharing this accommodation with another personm which I found difficult to live with and all this is hampering my work too.

The major problem with shared accommodation is no two persons are alike and their thoughts do not match. We have have very different styles of living. i work in morning shift ( 9 AM till 6 PM) and my roommate works in day shift (1PM – 10 PM). Whne he gets back to home he watches Television and carries on with his stuff but all these activities of him disturb me a lot. He sleep late and I have to wake up early, therefor, I am unable to sleep properly. All this is affecting my efficiency at work.

I would therefor, request you to please provide me a single room accommodation to help me survive better.

Yours faithfully,
Xyz

IELTS Letter - Problems with a Rented House

by Neha
(India)

You rent a four-bedroom house, which you share with two other students. However, there are several problems with this house that needs fixing. You also find it expensive and would like to find another student to share the spare bedroom.

Write a letter to the estate agency. In the letter:

- explain your situation
- describe the problems with the house
- say what you would like to happen

Dear Sir or Madam,

I, with two of my flat mates, are living in a 4-bedroom house and are facing several issues with the house that needs to be repaired.

One Glass Window had broken during the storm and requires repair as we can't close it properly. The lock of the drawing room's balcony door is not working since we rented the house, requires replacement. And there is a leakage of water in the kitchen's wash area. The water trips down to the cupboard below the basin that keeps the cupboard wet, moist and dirty. This needs to be sealed by a good water sealant so that water doesn't flow down to cupboard.

Also, we are looking for one more student who can share our 4th bedroom(spare) since the current rent of the house is bit expensive. Your help would be much appreciated in searching for our new flat mate and getting the repairs done as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Neha

Dear...

Dear Sir/Madam,

Last month me and my friend moved into the 2 bedroom apartment on Jersey Street. At the onset, eveything looked fine. But of late we have started to discover some grave problems with the property. I wanted to bring these to your kind attention as they are becoming a nuisance now.

The biggest problem that we have is the presence of roaches and bugs. They are everywhere in the apartment. We are at a grave risk of food poisoning and other illnesses due to them. In addition to that, we had to throw out a lot of our clothes as they were infested by bed bugs. Apart from these, there is an issue of seepage in the bathroom, which causes a foul smell in the whole apartment.

These issues have made living in the apartment really difficult and we constantly have to move back and forth to a friends place. I hope your good self will attend to these problems at the earliest so that the place can become habitable. We will be available for your inspection of the apartment on a 24 hour notice.

Yours Sincerely
Blankfaces

Problem with Shared Accommodation

by Suresh
(India)

You live in a room in college which you share with another student. However, there are many problems with this arrangement and you find it very difficult to work.

Write a letter to the accommodation officer at the college. In your letter:

- describe the situation
- explain your problems and why it is difficult to work
- say what kind of accommodation you would prefer

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention about the problems I am facing with my shared accommodation.

I am a research student living along with a roommate who is an enthusiastic pianist and who seems to be quite famous, as a lot of people frequently come and visit him, to learn from him. I am troubled by the noises they make and it is becoming hard for me to concentrate on my research and work. I am not against musicians, but I simply prefer to have my own privacy. In addition to this, we both have a shared washroom. Since we both have to leave for our respective works at the same time, it is sometimes hard for both of us to get the washroom unoccupied.

I am a person who prefer to live a life of solitude. So, I would really appreciate if you can provide me a single room with attached washroom to it.

Hope you will consider my request.

Yours Sincerely,
Suresh Panduga.
