Broken Window Lock

The situation

You rent a ground-floor unit. The lock on your bedroom window has stopped working, so the window cannot be closed properly, and there have been several break-ins reported in your street recently. You reported it by email a week ago but received no reply. Phone your landlord: explain the safety concern and ask for an urgent repair.

Model answer

Hello, this is the tenant from the ground-floor unit. I'm calling about the bedroom window lock I emailed you about last week. Unfortunately, I haven't heard back, and the lock still doesn't work, so the window won't close properly. I'm quite worried because there have been a few break-ins on our street recently, and being on the ground floor makes it easy to reach. Could you please arrange a locksmith or a repair as soon as possible, ideally in the next day or two? I'm home most afternoons if that helps. Thank you.
