I am writing to bring a serious matter to your attention regarding the hazardous condition of the lights and wiring in my rented premises at [Your Address], [City, State, ZIP]. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial for you, as the landlord, to address this matter promptly and take the necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of your tenants. I would like to highlight the clear violation of the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, Section 33-1324, which states that it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the premises in a habitable condition. Unsafe or broken lights and wiring pose a significant risk not only to the functionality of the property but also to the safety of its occupants. Specifically, I have observed the following issues that demand immediate attention and repair: 1. Broken lights: Several light fixtures within the premises are broken or malfunctioning, rendering certain areas dimly lit or completely dark. This poses a safety hazard as it increases the risk of accidents, especially during evening hours when visibility is limited. 2. Flickering lights: In addition to broken lights, a significant number of light fixtures intermittently flicker, indicating an underlying electrical issue. This presents a potential fire hazard and compromises the electrical stability and integrity of the property. 3. Faulty wiring: Upon closer inspection, it is evident that the wiring within the premises is outdated and in need of professional assessment. Outdated wiring can lead to power surges, shorts, or even electrical fires, placing the lives and property of the occupants at risk. These issues not only inconvenience the daily lives of the tenants but also create an unsafe living environment that exposes us to unnecessary risks. Therefore, pursuant to my rights under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, Section 33-1361, I demand that you arrange for a licensed and qualified professional electrician to thoroughly inspect and repair the lights and wiring within the premises within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] of receiving this notice. Please be aware that failure to address these serious safety concerns within the stipulated time frame may leave me with no choice but to seek legal action and explore alternative remedies under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and prioritize the safety of your tenants. I kindly request you to keep me informed regarding the progress of the repairs and any additional steps you will be undertaking to rectify the unsafe condition of the lights and wiring. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and a safe living environment.
