What should I check before I use this template?

Rent rules differ a lot by country and city. Many places limit how much or how often rent can rise, require a set notice period or an official form, and do not allow a rise during a fixed term unless the agreement says so. Check the lease and the local rules before you send this, because a notice that does not follow them may have no effect.

Is a tenancy template valid in my country?

Tenancy law differs a lot between countries and cities, for example on notice periods and deposits. Use the template as a base and check the rules where the property is.

Should I send a repair request in writing?

Yes, whenever you can. A dated letter shows when you asked and what you asked for, which helps if the problem is not fixed.

Can a landlord and tenant both use the same template?

Yes. The agreement templates are written to be fair to both sides, and each side keeps a signed copy.
