[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Demand for Repair of 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 the unsafe and broken lights and wiring in my rented property located at [Property Address] in Montgomery, Maryland. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is my duty to inform you of any potential hazards that may pose a threat to my safety, the safety of other tenants, and the integrity of the property. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify the following issues: 1. Broken Lights: Several light fixtures in the common areas, including the hallway, stairwell, and parking lot, are not functioning properly. This creates a hazardous environment, particularly during nighttime, as it compromises visibility, increases the risk of accidents, and affects the overall security of the building. 2. Unsafe Wiring: I have noticed exposed wires in various areas of the premises, notably in the basement and kitchen. These exposed wires not only pose an electrical hazard but also present the risk of fire or electrocution. It is crucial that adequate repairs be carried out by a licensed professional to eliminate this danger. I understand that the maintenance and upkeep of the property are your responsibilities as the landlord. It is essential for you to address these repairs promptly to meet the basic health and safety standards required by Maryland laws and regulations. In accordance with the terms of our rental agreement and the warranty of habitability implicit in every lease, I kindly request that you provide a written response within the next 14 days, outlining the steps you intend to take to remedy the lighting and wiring issues mentioned above. If action is not taken within the given timeframe, I may have no choice but to seek legal assistance, file a complaint with the appropriate local authorities, or withhold rent as permitted by Maryland law. By rectifying these hazardous conditions, you will not only ensure a safe living environment but also protect your investment in the property. I am confident that you will address this matter promptly and professionally. Thank you in advance for your attention to this urgent matter. I await your immediate action and written response.
