Title: Concord California Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand for Repair of Unsafe or Broken Lights and Wiring Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a serious concern regarding the state of the lighting and wiring in the [Apartment/Building Name] located at [Apartment/Building Address] in Concord, California. It has come to my attention that certain lights are broken, wiring is exposed, and there are potential safety hazards that require your prompt action. Paragraph 1: Safety Concerns I would like to address the pressing issue of unsafe lighting and faulty wiring within the premises. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed numerous instances where certain lights have completely stopped functioning or flicker intermittently. Additionally, exposed or damaged wiring can be seen near specific electrical outlets and fixtures. These issues pose a significant risk of electrical shock, fire hazards, and potential injuries to both residents and the property itself. Paragraph 2: Legal Responsibilities According to the California Civil Code, as a landlord, it is your legal responsibility to provide and maintain a safe and habitable living environment for all tenants. Specifically, Section 1941.1 states that the property must be compliant with building and safety codes, ensuring that the electrical system is safe, working, and properly installed. Paragraph 3: Impact on Quality of Life The persistent lack of lighting in key areas, such as corridors, stairwells, and common spaces, creates an unsafe and uncomfortable environment for all residents. Insufficient lighting not only increases the likelihood of accidents and criminal activities but also decreases overall quality of life and negatively affects tenants' peace of mind. Prompt resolution of this issue is crucial to restoring a safe and enjoyable living environment for all. Paragraph 4: Request for Immediate Action and Repair Based on the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request that you promptly address and rectify the unsafe lighting conditions and damaged wiring within the premises. I humbly request that you take immediate action to: 1. Thoroughly inspect the lighting fixtures and wiring throughout the property. 2.

Provide a timeline for completion of the repairs, outlining each step of the process and estimated timeframe. Conclusion: In conclusion, I believe it is in the best interest of both the residents and the reputation of the property to resolve these safety concerns promptly. As your tenant, I have a right to expect a safe and habitable living environment. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] to confirm that the necessary repairs will be carried out as soon as possible.
