Frequent bulb burnouts: Despite regularly replacing bulbs, they frequently burn out within days, indicating an underlying electrical problem that requires immediate attention. 3.

Exposed or damaged wiring: I have noticed instances where the electrical wiring is visibly exposed or damaged, thus posing a severe risk of electric shocks or potential sparks. 2. Overloaded circuits: It has come to my attention that the circuit breakers trip often, indicating an overloaded electrical system, which may result in electrical short circuits or even fires. Considering these unsafe conditions, I kindly request that the necessary repairs be done promptly to ensure both my safety and the integrity of the property. As per my rights as a tenant, outlined in the Stamford Connecticut Landlord-Tenant Law, Section [relevant section], it is your responsibility to provide a habitable living environment, which includes the provision of safe and properly functioning lights and electrical wiring.
