Fort Worth Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Request for Immediate Repair of Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant safety concern in my rented premises, specifically regarding the lights and wiring, which are currently in a state of disrepair. This situation poses a significant risk, and I kindly request your immediate attention and action to rectify this issue. Firstly, it has come to my attention that certain light fixtures within the property are not functioning correctly or are completely out of order. Specifically, the lighting in the following areas appears to be malfunctioning: [provide a detailed description of the affected areas, such as living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, etc.]. The lack of proper lighting in these essential areas not only compromises our safety but also significantly hinders our ability to navigate the property safely, perform daily tasks, and maintain a comfortable living environment. Furthermore, I have noticed several instances where the wiring in the property seems to be hazardous or problematic. These concerns include exposed wiring, loose connections, flickering lights, and frequent power outages. Such electrical issues pose a severe safety threat to both personal well-being and property integrity. Unaddressed electrical problems can result in electrical shocks, sparking, or even fire hazards, jeopardizing the lives of all occupants and potentially leading to costly damages. As a responsible tenant, I have taken the liberty to undertake some basic troubleshooting steps myself to ensure that the issues are not caused by a simple bulb replacement or tripped circuit breaker. Regrettably, my efforts have proven futile, indicating the need for professional intervention by a licensed electrician or an appropriately qualified repair technician. In light of the aforementioned safety concerns, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address and resolve these issues at your earliest convenience. I urge you to hire a qualified professional to conduct a thorough inspection of the property's electrical system and repair any faulty lights or wiring promptly. It is imperative that all necessary repairs are carried out in compliance with the local building codes and safety regulations, ensuring the well-being and security of all occupants. I trust that you understand the gravity of the situation and the urgency it demands. Failure to address these issues promptly could result in serious consequences for both the property and the well-being of its tenants. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe] outlining the actions you plan to take to rectify this issue. Should I not receive a satisfactory response or see any progress made regarding the repair of the unsafe or broken lights or wiring, I may have no other option but to explore other available remedies under the Texas Landlord-Tenant Act. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust in your commitment to providing a safe and habitable living environment for your tenants. I remain hopeful that we can resolve this issue amicably and promptly.
