Title: Long Beach, California: Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring Keywords: Long Beach, California, letter, tenant, landlord, demand, repair, unsafe, broken lights, wiring --- [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring in [Apartment Number/Unit] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a significant and urgent issue impacting my safety and wellbeing as a tenant in [Apartment Number/Unit] of [Your Address]. It has come to my attention that there are multiple unsafe or broken lights and wiring within the premises, which poses serious hazards and requires immediate attention. Firstly, I want to emphasize my concern over the faulty lighting fixtures throughout the common areas of the building. Many of the hallway lights and stairwell lights have become inoperable or flicker intermittently, creating an unsafe and poorly illuminated environment. This can lead to accidents or incidents not only for myself but for other tenants as well. Prompt repair or replacement of these lighting fixtures is crucial in maintaining a safe living environment for all residents. Moreover, there are a few specific areas within my unit where I have noticed unsafe or damaged wiring. For example, in the living room, there is a visible frayed wire near the electrical outlet closest to the window. This, in combination with the outdated electrical panel in the utility closet, increases the risk of electrical fire hazards and potential damage to personal belongings. Therefore, I kindly request that a certified electrician adequately inspect and repair these wiring issues promptly. Considering the gravity of this matter, I urge you to take immediate action in addressing these concerns to prevent any potential accidents, injuries, or property damage. As a conscientious tenant, I have taken photographs of the hazardous conditions that I can provide as evidence, if necessary. Ensuring the safety and welfare of your tenants is not only a legal obligation but also a duty to maintain a habitable living environment. I kindly request that you schedule a professional inspection with a licensed electrician within the next seven days. Following the inspection, I urge you to promptly commence with the necessary repairs to eliminate these hazards. I trust that you will promptly address this matter with the utmost urgency, ensuring that the repair work is completed within a reasonable and expedited timeframe. In the event that my request is not acknowledged or acted upon within a reasonable timeframe, I may have no choice but to report these violations to the relevant authorities, such as the Long Beach Housing Authority or the local building inspector. I genuinely hope it does not come to that point, as my intention is solely to promote a safe and harmonious living environment for all parties involved. I look forward to hearing from you promptly and appreciate your immediate attention to this urgent matter. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] should you require any further information or wish to discuss this issue further. Thank you for your prompt action in resolving these concerns.
