A complaint letter is written to voice one’s problem and have it fixed at the earliest. A Complaint letter is a semi-official means of communication as compared to verbal means. The complainant pens down his/her problem asks concerned authorities to intervene and sort out the grievance and also suggests remedies if possible. A tenant complaint letter is written by a tenant to the owner requesting him/her to solve a problem at hand. The problem could be continuing for long despite repeated reminders, or the owner could have avoided taking any action. This letter usually follows verbal reminders and is used as a last attempt to coerce the owner into working towards ending the problem faced by the tenant.
The letter must be in a polite way but demanding the needs to adhere. It should carry over the passive voice throughout, and avoidance of arrogant vocabulary is required. It is a form of request letter but in a polite demeaning manner. As the owner might not have adhered to the needs specified by the tenant earlier.

Dear Mr. Jonathan,
I am writing this letter as a last means of requesting you to resolve my problem at hand more so because you tour very often and I rarely get to meet you.
I have mentioned many times earlier on that your son plays music in very loud volume while partying with his friends in your residence which are disturbing and troublesome since I have an aged and ailing mother in my care.
Despite telling him repeatedly, there has been no change in his attitude. During a similar party yesterday, the music continued till 2 a.m and my mother had to be rushed to the hospital due to a sudden rise in her blood pressure since she could not sleep. It was tough to handle the situation alone since her condition deteriorated rapidly.
While I appreciate his need to enjoy with his friends, I would be grateful if you could advise him not to play the music too loud after 10.30 p.m when it is time for my mother to rest. Please do the needful and oblige.
Thanking You,
Yours faithfully,
Stella James

Dear Sir,
This is about the problem we are facing every day because of the loud music from your house. My children are both studying in higher secondary school, and the music from your house is disturbing them in their studies.
I can understand that for once in a while partying and having such music is okay, but now it had become a regular affair and had become a cause of the disturbance. I understand that everyone has the right to enjoy but the volume of the television is there from morning to evening, and the loud music is very disturbing. Please take care of it as the volume is distracting us from work and children get distracted from the studies. I am sure you will understand how important is the class X and XII exams. My mother is very old and is a heart patient who is bedridden and needs good sleep at night. But the loud noise from your flat she is not sleeping well and her health are getting affected.
I have been trying to meet you and discuss this, but I was told that you were away on a business tour.
Hope you understand our problem and reduce the volume so that we can stay in a Friendlier manner.
Regards,
Your Name.
