Cape Coral Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand that Landlord 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: Urgent Repair Request for Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious safety concern regarding the current state of the lighting system and electrical wiring in the rental property located at [Property Address]. It has come to my notice that there are multiple lights that are either broken or not functioning, as well as potential issues concerning the wiring within the premises. As per our lease agreement, it is your responsibility to maintain the rental property in a safe and habitable condition. However, the current condition of the lighting and wiring poses significant risks to me and my fellow tenants. It is crucial that you promptly address these electrical issues to ensure the safety and well-being of all occupants. The specific problems that require immediate attention are as follows: 1. Non-functioning lights: There are several lights throughout the property, including in the common areas, hallway, bathroom, and kitchen, that are not working. This lack of proper lighting poses a safety hazard, especially during nighttime hours, potentially leading to accidents or injuries. 2. Broken lights: There are broken light fixtures in various rooms, such as the living room and bedroom. This not only diminishes the aesthetic appeal of the property but also creates an environment where accidents can occur, such as cuts from sharp edges or electrical shock due to exposed wiring. 3. Potential wiring issues: I have noticed unusual flickering and intermittent power outages in certain areas of the property. These signs indicate potential underlying problems with the electrical wiring. Faulty wiring poses not only a fire hazard but also increases the risk of electrocution. In accordance with my rights as a tenant, I kindly request and demand that you take immediate action to rectify these electrical issues to ensure the safety of the property. Specifically, I am requesting the following actions: 1. Arrange for a certified electrician to inspect the entire electrical system and identify any underlying problems or hazards. 2. Promptly repair or replace all non-functioning and broken lights, ensuring that they are in working order and securely installed. 3. Conduct necessary repairs or replacement of any faulty or damaged wiring identified during inspection to eliminate any present or future risks. I expect you to address these issues within a reasonable timeframe, preferably within [specific timeline, e.g., 7 business days], to avoid any further inconvenience or potential hazards. Failure to address these concerns promptly may result in legal action and potential rent abatement. Please confirm in writing within the next [reasonable timeline, e.g., 48 hours] that you have received this letter, and provide details of the actions you plan to take to rectify the electrical issues outlined above. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. It is crucial that we prioritize the safety and well-being of all tenants, and I trust that you will take appropriate action without delay.
