Dear [your landlord’s name],
I am a tenant of [name of your block or building] and I am contacting you because [I have become aware that/as you have informed me] the cladding of my building puts myself and other residents at serious risk of fire.
{Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) was a significant factor in the spread of the Grenfell Tower fire, which as you will recall led to 72 deaths and many more injuries in 2017.}
{High Pressure Laminate (HPL) enabled the spread of fire at Lakanal House in 2009, causing the death of six tenants and injuries to at least 20.}
This being the case, I am sure you will understand my concerns {and those of my fellow tenants}.
I am writing to ask:
As you will be aware, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that landlords must do everything in their power to keep tenants safe from fire.
I look forward to receiving your response as a matter of urgency, but by [date, two weeks in the future] at the latest.
Yours sincerely,
[Sign your name]
