Subject: Urgent Repair Request: Unsafe or Broken Lights and Wiring in [Property Address] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a pressing issue that requires your prompt action to ensure the safety and well-being of myself and other tenants at [Property Address]. First and foremost, allow me to express my appreciation for maintaining a well-kept property thus far. However, I must bring your attention to a serious maintenance concern regarding the lights and wiring within the premises. I have noticed the following hazards that require immediate attention: 1. Non-functional Lights: Throughout the common areas and within my unit, several lights have ceased to function, leaving the hallways, stairwells, parking lots, and other crucial areas in complete darkness. This poses a severe safety risk to tenants, especially during nighttime or emergency situations. 2. Flickering or Unstable Lights: Some of the lights that are still operational exhibit frequent flickering or unstable illumination, indicating potential electrical issues. This instability not only compromises our safety but also hinders our ability to utilize the property effectively. 3. Loose/Exposed Wiring: In several areas of the building, I have observed loose or exposed wiring, which could lead to electric shocks, short circuits, or even be a fire hazard. This poses a significant threat to the safety of all tenants and must be addressed without delay. Having considered the gravity of these issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the aforementioned problems. As a responsible landlord, it is imperative that you fulfill your duty to ensure our safety and comply with the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. I kindly ask that you: 1. Arrange for a qualified electrician to inspect and repair all defective lights and wiring throughout the property to ensure all areas are adequately illuminated. 2. Replace any dysfunctional light fixtures or bulbs promptly to restore proper lighting conditions. 3. Safeguard all exposed wiring by properly enclosing or enclosing affected areas and repairing any potential hazards. 4. Communicate the maintenance schedule and provide a timeline for completion of the repairs at the earliest convenience, ensuring minimal disruption to our daily lives. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but I kindly request that you prioritize these repairs due to the potential dangers they pose to tenants' safety and well-being. Failure to address these concerns promptly may lead to more substantial damage, increased liability, and potential legal actions. I eagerly anticipate your prompt response to this letter and expect a comprehensive plan of action to resolve these critical issues within [number of days, e.g., 7 days]. Your cooperation in this matter is crucial to maintaining a safe living environment for all tenants at [Property Address]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will promptly address these concerns and uphold your responsibility as our landlord.
