I am writing to bring your immediate attention to serious safety hazards in the premises I am renting from you at [Rental Property Address]. As a tenant, I am legally entitled to a safe and livable environment, ensuring compliance with the laws and regulations set forth by the State of North Carolina and the town of Cary. I regret to inform you that the following issues present in the property render it fundamentally uninhabitable, violating local safety regulations: 1. Unsafe electrical wiring: Frequent power outages, exposed wires, and malfunctioning outlets indicate a potential risk of fire and electrical shock hazards. 2. Water leaks: Extensive water leakage from the roof and plumbing fixtures have caused significant damage to the ceilings, walls, and flooring, leading to mold growth and weakened structures. 3. Absence of functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: Lack of operational detectors poses a serious threat to the safety and well-being of the tenants, endangering lives in potentially hazardous situations. According to the North Carolina General Statutes, Article 5, Section 42-42, I hereby demand that you undertake immediate repairs to rectify these safety hazards, making the premises habitable within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days]. I kindly request you to schedule a complete inspection of the property with me to address any additional concerns regarding the habitability and safety of the rented premises. If the necessary repairs are not promptly initiated and completed within the stipulated timeframe, I will have no choice but to exercise my legal rights, which may include seeking legal remedies and reporting the uninhabitable conditions to the appropriate governmental authorities. I believe that addressing these safety hazards will uphold our shared responsibility for maintaining a safe and habitable rental property. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and immediate action to remedy the issues at hand. Thank you for your cooperation.
