I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue within my rented apartment located at [Address]. It has come to my attention that there are several unsafe conditions regarding the lights and wiring in the premises, which require immediate attention and rectification. To ensure clarity and prompt action, I have outlined the specific concerns below: 1. [Type of Issue 1]: Broken/Damaged lights: There are multiple lights throughout the apartment that are either flickering, not functioning at all, or have sustained visible damage. This poses a significant safety hazard, making it difficult to navigate the property adequately while also jeopardizing my well-being. 2. [Type of Issue 2]: Faulty Wiring: I have noticed instances of exposed or frayed wires in various areas of the apartment, including the living room and kitchen. While this may not be immediately apparent, it increases the risk of electrical short circuits, sparks, and potential fires, endangering both the property and the safety of its occupants. 3.

As a tenant, I have duly fulfilled my obligations outlined in the lease agreement, including timely payment of rent and adhering to the property's rules and regulations. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that the property meets the necessary safety requirements and that any critical issues are addressed promptly to mitigate risks to both life and property. I trust that you understand the urgency of this matter and will prioritize the necessary repairs to ensure a safe living environment.
