Subject: Urgent Repair Request for Unsafe Lighting and Wiring Conditions in Waterbury Connecticut Rental Property [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring a matter of utmost importance to your attention regarding the safety and habitability of my rented unit at [Rental Property Address] in Waterbury, Connecticut. I would like to formally request immediate repairs to address the hazardous condition of the lighting and electrical wiring within the premises. It has come to my attention that several lights throughout the property are either broken or malfunctioning, leaving certain areas in complete darkness. This poses significant safety risks for not only myself but also other residents and visitors, particularly during nighttime hours. Uneven or insufficient lighting makes maneuvering through the common areas, stairwells, parking lots, and hallways extremely dangerous and increases the likelihood of accidents, theft, or other criminal activities. Furthermore, I have noticed signs of degraded wiring within my unit, which is causing frequent power outages and potential fire hazards. These electrical issues place both the property and its occupants in substantial danger and warrant immediate attention from a professional electrician. The compromised electrical infrastructure not only disrupts my daily routine but also raises concerns about the overall integrity of the building's electrical system. In accordance with the rights and responsibilities outlined in the Connecticut General Statutes § 47a-14a, I kindly request that you promptly take the necessary steps to rectify these unsafe conditions. Here are the specific actions I request: 1. Engage a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection of the property's lighting fixtures and electrical wiring to identify and address any potential hazards promptly. 2. Replace all broken or malfunctioning lights throughout the common areas, which include [list of precise locations where lighting is inadequate or non-functional]. 3. Repair or replace any damaged or degraded electrical wiring within my unit to eliminate the frequent power outages and reduce the risk of electrical fires. Given the urgency and importance of this matter, I kindly request that these repairs be initiated within the next [reasonable timeframe, such as 10 business days] following your receipt of this letter. To ensure proper documentation of our correspondence, I kindly ask that you provide me with written notification specifying the actions that will be taken and the expected timeline for completion. Please be aware that failure to respond promptly and take adequate measures to address these safety concerns may result in necessary legal action to enforce my rights as a tenant. I believe that resolving these issues promptly aligns with your responsibilities as a landlord and will contribute to maintaining a safe and habitable living environment for all residents. I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter so that we can collectively ensure the well-being and security of all occupants within the property. If you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me via the provided contact details.
