Dear [Landlord’s Name],
Subject: Request for Installation of Individual Mailboxes
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an important issue regarding the handling of mail for the tenants at [Building Address]. Since my arrival in September *, there has been no designated mailbox for the four apartments in the building. Instead, all mail is delivered to your sister at #* Jubilee Street, who has recently withheld my mail when I was late with my rent.
This situation has caused significant inconvenience and raises concerns about the security and privacy of our mail. It is also important to note that withholding mail is illegal under the laws of Trinidad and Tobago.
To address this issue, I propose the following solutions:
*. Installation of Individual Mailboxes: Installing separate mailboxes for each apartment would ensure that all tenants receive their mail directly and securely.
*. Clear Communication: Establishing clearcommunication channels between tenants and the landlord to address any further concerns promptly.
I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to your positive response. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Complaint Regarding Withheld Mail and Lack of Mailbox Installation
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding an ongoing issue with mail delivery and handling at my apartment building located at #* Jubilee Street, Tunapuna, Trinidad and Tobago.
Since moving into the apartment in September *, there have been no designated mailboxes for the four units in the building. All mail is delivered to the sister of the building owner, who resides next door at #* Jubilee Street. Recently, she has withheld my mail due to late rent payment, causing significant inconvenience and concerns about mail security and privacy.
Despite my efforts to resolve this issue by communicating with my landlord and proposing the installation of individual mailboxes, there has been no response or action taken.
To supportmy complaint, I have attached the following:
- Lease agreement
- Records of withheld mail
- Correspondence with my landlord
I kindly request the Rent Assessment Board's intervention to address this issue and ensure that proper mail delivery systems are established for all tenants.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
