I am writing to you as a responsible tenant in [Property Address], Santa Clarita, California, to bring your attention to a matter that necessitates immediate action — the repair of unsafe or broken lights and wiring within the premises. As a tenant, it is paramount for my safety and the well-being of other residents that the property is maintained in a safe and habitable condition. Unfortunately, there are several areas within the unit that are suffering from defective lighting fixtures and faulty wiring, raising concerns for my personal safety and potentially posing fire hazards. Specifically, the following issues have come to my attention: 1. Defective Lighting Fixtures: — The hallway leading to my unit, which lacks proper illumination, compromises personal safety during nighttime. — The stairway leading to the second floor suffers from flickering lights, making it difficult to navigate, particularly during power outages or emergencies. 2. Faulty Wiring: — Several power outlets within the unit have loose connections or fail to deliver stable electricity, increasing the risk of electrical shock or fire. — In the kitchen area, the overhead lights sporadically flicker or fail to function entirely, affecting daily activities and potentially causing accidents. These issues not only compromise my safety but could also result in legal liabilities for both of us if left unaddressed. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify these problems promptly. Considering the urgency of these repairs, I kindly request that you schedule a professional electrician licensed in accordance with the California Electrical Code to assess and remedy the faulty lighting fixtures and wiring systems. Additionally, I expect you to ensure that all repairs are conducted in adherence to safety standards and regulations. In accordance with the terms of our lease agreement, I kindly request that you complete the necessary repairs within 14 calendar days from the date of this letter. Please confirm in writing the actions you will take to address these concerns within seven calendar days. Should the 14-day deadline pass without any communication or considerable progress towards the repairs, I may be forced to seek legal assistance or file a complaint with relevant housing authorities, which pursue enforcement vigorously. I am confident that, as a responsible landlord, you will promptly address these concerns and take the necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of your tenants.
