It has come to my notice that there are significant issues with the lighting and wiring within the premises, which pose a severe safety risk to me and other residents. As a responsible landlord, I trust you understand the importance of maintaining a safe and habitable living environment. Unfortunately, multiple lights throughout the property are either broken or do not function correctly.

This situation not only compromises our safety but also hampers our ability to perform day-to-day activities efficiently.

Inspection by a Qualified Electrician: I request that you arrange for a professional electrician to thoroughly assess the lighting fixtures and the entire wiring system of the premises. This inspection will help identify any hidden faults or potential threats that require immediate fixing. 2. Timely Repairs and Replacements: Upon completion of the inspection, I urge you to promptly schedule the necessary repairs or replacements recommended by the electrician. This should include ensuring all lights are functioning correctly and replacing any damaged or frayed wiring to eliminate any safety risks. 3. Formal Communication: I kindly request that you provide a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] of receiving this letter, outlining the measures you intend to take to address these concerns effectively. As a tenant, I am fully committed to upholding my responsibilities in maintaining the property according to the terms of our lease agreement. To assist you in scheduling the necessary repairs effectively, I would appreciate communication stating when these repairs are scheduled and whether access to the property will be required. Please be aware that as a tenant, I have certain legal rights to a safe and habitable living space according to Texas law. If this matter is not addressed promptly, it may be necessary to involve relevant authorities or pursue legal actions to ensure our collective safety and well-being. I trust that as a responsible landlord, you will give due consideration to this matter and promptly take the necessary actions to rectify these unsafe conditions.
