Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Unsafe and Broken Lights/Wiring — Victorville, California Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a serious safety concern in the [Apartment/House] at [Property Address] that demands urgent attention and resolution. Upon moving in on [Move-In Date], I was initially optimistic about the overall condition of the property. However, since then, I have noticed multiple instances of unsafe or broken lights and wiring, posing significant risks to my wellbeing and that of other tenants. Specifically, I would like to draw your attention to the following issues: 1. **Faulty Light Fixtures:** Several light fixtures in the common areas, such as the hallway, staircase, and parking lot, remain non-functional. This creates a hazardous environment, especially during nighttime or in dimly lit areas, making it difficult to navigate safely. 2. **Exposed Wiring:** There are instances where electrical wiring is exposed and visible in the main living areas, posing severe risks of electric shocks or fire hazards. This situation is highly alarming and calls for immediate attention to ensure the safety of all residents. Such conditions are not only inconvenient but also violate the terms of our lease agreement, which guarantees habitability and safety within the premises. As a responsible tenant who takes pride in maintaining a safe living environment, I kindly request that you take prompt action to rectify these issues. I kindly urge you to address the aforementioned problems within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] to ensure the safety, security, and comfort of all tenants residing in [Property Name]. I understand that maintaining the property's infrastructure is an ongoing process, but in this case, the issues mentioned above pose critical safety risks and require immediate intervention. If, for any reason, you are unable to resolve these problems promptly, I kindly ask that you inform me of the delay and provide a detailed plan of action outlining the steps you will take and a revised timeline for the necessary repairs. As my obligation to continue paying rent relies on your fulfillment of providing a habitable and safe living environment, I would like to discuss the possibility of pro-rating my rent until these issues are appropriately resolved. I am open to further discussing this matter to reach a mutually agreeable solution that satisfies both parties. Please respond to this letter in writing or via email within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 48 hours] confirming that the issues will be addressed promptly, providing an estimated timeline for repairs, and outlining any temporary measures that will be taken to ensure our safety during this period. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you will prioritize the safety of your tenants and swiftly resolve these concerns.
