Shreveport Louisiana Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Repair Request for Unsafe or Broken Lights and Wiring Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue concerning the safety and maintenance of the premises at [Tenant's Address]. As a responsible tenant, I have noticed multiple instances of unsafe or broken lights and wiring within the property, and I kindly request your immediate attention to rectify these problems. Firstly, it is of utmost importance that proper lighting fixtures are installed and functioning throughout the premises. However, I have observed that several lights have been non-operational, leaving dark and hazardous areas within the property. This poses a considerable safety risk as it increases the chances of accidents, such as slips, trips, or falls, especially during evening hours. Furthermore, the lack of sufficient lighting compromises the security of the premises, making it susceptible to unlawful activities. Moreover, I have noticed frayed or exposed wiring in various areas of the property. This presents a severe electrical hazard not only to me but also to other tenants, visitors, and the property itself. Faulty wiring can lead to short circuits, electrical fires, or even electrocution, jeopardizing the well-being of everyone residing or visiting the property. As a tenant, I expect the landlord to ensure that all electrical components are in safe and working condition. The maintenance issues regarding the lighting and wiring have persisted for an extended period, and I feel compelled to bring this to your attention as it directly affects the habitability and safety of the premises, which is your responsibility as the landlord. I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these concerns by: 1. Conducting a thorough inspection of all light fixtures throughout the property to identify faulty or non-functional lights. 2. Arranging for the prompt repair or replacement of any broken or defective lights to ensure the safety and comfort of all tenants. 3. Hiring a qualified and licensed electrician to assess and repair any damaged or exposed wiring, ensuring compliance with all relevant safety regulations and codes. 4. Providing a timeline for when the repairs will commence and be completed, allowing for reasonable access to the property during the repair process. Please note that the above-mentioned issues are not only detrimental to my safety and well-being but also violate the implied warranty of habitability, which every tenant is entitled to under the law. If the necessary repairs are not initiated promptly, I may need to seek legal remedies to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] of receiving this letter, acknowledging my concerns and outlining the proposed actions to rectify the situation. It is crucial that you take immediate steps to address these serious safety hazards and contribute to maintaining a livable and secure environment for all tenants. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name]
