Title: Urgent Request to Repair Unsafe or Broken Lights and Wiring — Cary, North Carolina Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring a concerning issue to your attention regarding the safety of the property located at [Address]. As a tenant in good standing, I have noticed a significant concern that needs immediate attention — unsafe or broken lights and wiring within the premises. Description of the Problem: Over the past few weeks, I have encountered multiple instances where the lights flicker, dim, or completely go out in various areas of the property. This erratic behavior of the lighting system is not only inconvenient but also poses a severe risk to the safety and well-being of myself and other residents. Furthermore, I have noticed exposed or damaged wiring both in common areas and within my own unit, which is alarming and potentially hazardous. Importance of Timely Repair: I cannot emphasize enough the urgency of resolving these issues promptly. The malfunctioning lights not only compromise visibility but also create an atmosphere of insecurity within the property. Additionally, exposed wires increase the likelihood of electrical shocks, short-circuits, or even fires, endangering the property, its inhabitants, and their belongings. Minimal delay in addressing these issues could lead to severe consequences that can impact both our safety and the value of the property. Request for Repairs: In light of the risks associated with the faulty lights and wiring, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to rectify this matter. I sincerely urge you to hire a professional electrician to thoroughly inspect, repair, and replace any broken or unsafe lighting fixtures or wiring components within the entire property. I also recommend that you provide me with a detailed plan of action, outlining the steps which will be taken to address these concerns within a reasonable timeframe. This will allow both parties to have a clear understanding of the resolution process and ensure our safety and well-being. Tenant's Responsibilities: I understand my role as a tenant in maintaining a safe living environment and hereby assure you that I have taken utmost care to prevent any damage that could have contributed to these issues. I have not attempted any repairs or alterations since I am not qualified to handle electrical matters, as per our lease agreement. Final Remarks: I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you prioritize the safety of your tenants. Therefore, I request a prompt and effective solution to the aforementioned issues. Should you fail to resolve this matter within a reasonable timeframe, I unfortunately may be forced to seek legal advice and explore alternative options to ensure my safety and well-being as a tenant. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing matter. I look forward to your timely response and an assurance that the repairs will be carried out promptly to ensure a safe living environment for all residents. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
