It has come to my attention that there are several unsafe or broken lights and wiring throughout the premises that require immediate attention and repair. Description of the Issue: 1. Broken Lights: a. Flickering Lights: The lights in the living room, kitchen, and hallway have been flickering intermittently, posing a safety hazard and potential fire risk. b. Non-Functioning Lights: Several lights in the bedroom and bathroom are completely non-functional, leaving these areas inadequately illuminated. 2. Unsafe Wiring: a. Exposed Wiring: I have noticed numerous instances where wiring is exposed and not properly insulated, which can lead to electrical shock or fire hazards. b. Overloaded Circuits: The repeated occurrence of tripped circuit breakers indicates overloaded circuits, risking a potential electrical malfunction. Consequences and Concerns: Due to these unsafe conditions, I feel compromised in terms of personal safety and security within the premises. Insufficient lighting and faulty wiring increase the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and property damage.

Reinforce and adequately distribute the electrical load to avoid circuit overloads I am willing to cooperate fully during the inspection and repair process and will make myself available at a time that is convenient for you or the hired professional. It is my hope that with your prompt attention, we can resolve these issues and restore a safe, well-lit living environment for all residents. Potential Action if Demands Are Not Met: Please be aware that failure to address and rectify these concerns appropriately within the specified timeframe may leave me with no other choice but to pursue all available legal remedies, including reporting this matter to the relevant housing authorities and seeking legal assistance to enforce my rights as a tenant. Conclusion: In conclusion, I trust that you will give due attention to this matter and take immediate steps to provide the necessary repairs.
