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.
