Title: Costa Mesa, California Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Demand for Urgent Repair of Unsafe or Broken Lights and Wiring Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter as a concerned tenant inhabiting your premises located at [property address] in Costa Mesa, California. It has come to my attention that certain lights and electrical wiring within the rental property are in a state of disrepair, posing significant health and safety hazards. Therefore, I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter to ensure the well-being of all occupants. This correspondence serves as an official demand for the repair of such unsafe or broken lights or wiring. Body: 1. Description of Unsafe/Broken Lights and Wiring: Firstly, allow me to describe the precise issues that require your prompt action. There are several areas throughout the property where lights are either not functioning at all or flickering intermittently. Additionally, faulty wiring can be observed in certain rooms, causing power disruptions and creating a potential fire hazard. These defects compromise the overall safety and ambiance of the property, creating an unpleasant and potentially harmful living environment. 2. Importance of Prompt Repair: It is crucial to emphasize that living with malfunctioning lights and unsafe wiring endangers the well-being of all tenants. These defects not only diminish the quality of life but also increase the risk of accidents, such as falls or electrical shocks. Furthermore, due to poor lighting conditions, visibility is compromised, which may lead to further injuries or property damage. As a responsible landlord, it is essential that you address these concerns promptly to ensure a safe and habitable living space. 3. Legal Obligation: It is pertinent to note that as a landlord, you are legally obligated to provide a habitable dwelling as outlined by the California Civil Code Section 1941.1. Specifically, the law states that landlords are responsible for maintaining all electrical systems, including lights and wiring, in good repair and working order. In failing to do so, you would be in violation of your legal obligations as a landlord. 4. Tenant Rights and Remedies: If the necessary repairs are not undertaken within a reasonable timeframe, I may be forced to exercise my rights as a tenant under the California Tenant's Legal Rights. These may include the right to withhold rent until the repairs are completed or the right to terminate the lease agreement if the rental property remains in an uninhabitable condition. However, I strongly believe that by working together, we can resolve this situation amicably and avoid any potential legal disputes. Conclusion: In conclusion, I kindly request your immediate action to address the unsafe or broken lights and wiring in the rental property located in Costa Mesa, California. As your tenant, I expect you to meet your legal responsibilities by rectifying these issues without further delay, ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment for all occupants. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and respond promptly. Your cooperation in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
