I kindly request your immediate attention and action to rectify these hazardous conditions to ensure the well-being of all occupants. Main Body: 1. Description of Unsafe or Broken Lights and Wiring: In the unit, I have identified several areas with lights that do not function properly. Specifically, [describe the locations such as hallway, living room, kitchen, etc.]. These dark areas pose a significant safety concern, making it challenging to navigate the unit safely, especially during nighttime. Furthermore, I have noticed recurring electrical issues such as flickering lights, intermittent power supply, or frequently tripped circuit breakers. These issues can potentially lead to electrical hazards, fire hazards, or even injuries. 2.

Request for Immediate Action: Given the urgency of this matter, I kindly urge you to prioritize these repairs and arrange for a professional electrician to assess and fix the broken lights and faulty wiring promptly. I request that you inform me of the exact date when these repairs will occur so that I can ensure access to the unit is granted.
