I am writing to bring to your immediate attention an urgent matter regarding the state of the lighting fixtures and electrical wiring in my rented property at [Your Address] in Huntington Beach, California. As my safety and the safety of other residents are at stake, I kindly request that you take prompt action to address these issues. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed several malfunctioning lights and flickering bulbs in various areas of the property, including the common areas such as hallways, parking lots, and doorways. Moreover, there have been instances of unexplained power outages and circuit breaker trips. These issues are not only inconvenient but also pose serious safety hazards to me and other tenants residing here. Upon conducting some research, I have come to understand that faulty electrical systems and broken lights can lead to potential accidents such as electric shocks, fires, and overall increased risk of injuries. These dangers must not be ignored, and it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure the property is in a habitable and safe condition. Under the California Civil Code section 1941.1, landlords are obligated to maintain rented premises in a safe and habitable condition, including electrical systems and lighting fixtures. It is therefore my expectation, as outlined explicitly in the rental agreement, that you fulfill this obligation promptly. I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to address and resolve these electrical issues immediately. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. Inspection by a licensed electrician to identify any faulty wiring or defective lighting fixtures. 2. Swift repair or replacement of all malfunctioning lights or electrical components. 3. Reducing the risk of electrical fires and accidents by ensuring circuit breakers are updated and functioning correctly. 4. Conducting regular maintenance checks to prevent future issues and ensure ongoing safety. Please be aware that failing to address these urgent matters within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no choice but to seek appropriate legal remedies available to rectify the situation. I am confident that we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid any further escalation. I kindly request that you respond to this demand letter within [reasonable timeframe, usually 7 to 14 days] to confirm your commitment to address the electrical issues promptly. You can reach me at [your contact number or email address] to discuss the necessary repair plan or schedule a time for an inspection. I look forward to your immediate attention and a quick resolution to this matter. I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you will prioritize the safety and well-being of your tenants. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
