Landlord won't fix it? Here's your right — and the words
The law requires the landlord to fix a material defect within a reasonable time. Describe the issue and we'll prepare a polite-but-firm message that names the right and the timeline — ready to copy and send.
The letter is still missing details — fill in the marked fields before sending.
Send this by registered mail (doar rashum) with a delivery confirmation and keep the receipt — that dated proof starts the landlord's repair window and kills the "you never told me" defense.
If even the final notice goes unanswered, the small-claims kit walks the next step — where to file, what it costs, and a statement-of-claim draft you fill in yourself. Every case depends on the contract and the facts.
And if it's still not fixed?
If the landlord doesn't fix a material defect within the reasonable time, the law generally lets the tenant arrange the repair and deduct the cost from the rent. It's a step worth documenting and getting advice on before acting.
