This letter serves as a formal request demanding prompt repairs to ensure the safety and well-being of all occupants. 1. Identifying the Issue: Upon thorough inspection, it is evident that various lights within the rental property are either flickering, not functioning at all, or producing intermittent sparks. Additionally, multiple outlets show signs of loose connections, faulty wiring, and poor grounding. These issues not only compromise the illumination and functionality of the property but also raise concerns regarding electrical safety and fire hazards. 2.

Legal and Contractual Obligations: As outlined in the lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to provide and maintain a safe and habitable living environment. The current condition of the lights and wiring system falls below the risk-free standards necessitated by the agreement.

Please understand that my utmost concern is the safety and well-being of all occupants, and any delay in addressing these issues poses potential risks that we cannot afford to overlook. Conclusion: In conclusion, I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your commitment to maintaining a safe living environment.
