With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the statutory duty to maintain the property in tenantable condition and demands that immediate repairs be made. Title: Urgent Demand for Repair of Unsafe or Broken Lights and Wiring in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Rental: Tenant to Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to a critical issue in the rental property located at [Rental Address] in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. It has come to my notice that several lights and wiring fixtures in and around the premises have been left in a state of disrepair, posing a significant risk to both my safety and the overall well-being of the property. Firstly, I would like to emphasize the urgency of this matter. The deteriorating lights and faulty wiring not only contribute to a dark and unsuitable living environment, but they also increase the likelihood of electrical hazards, which could potentially lead to property damage, injury, or even disastrous consequences such as fire. It is imperative that immediate action be taken to rectify these issues to ensure the safety of all residents. Specifically, the following areas require your attention and prompt repair: 1. Outdoor Lighting: The exterior lighting fixtures, including those illuminating the building entrance, parking areas, and pathways, are all malfunctioning. This not only compromises visibility during nighttime hours but also compromises the security of the property by creating dark areas that can attract unwanted attention. 2. Common Areas: Several crucial common areas, such as the stairwells, hallways, and laundry rooms, suffer from inadequate or broken lighting. This creates a hazardous situation for all tenants, as it becomes difficult to navigate these spaces safely, especially during evening hours. 3. Individual Units: Within my own rental unit, I have noticed various lighting fixtures that flicker, sputter, or fail to illuminate entirely from time to time. This presents a hazard in terms of personal safety, as it is difficult to perform everyday tasks in inadequate lighting conditions. Additionally, it poses a significant inconvenience and affects my quality of life as a tenant. 4. Wiring Defects: Furthermore, I have encountered some irregularities with the overall electrical wiring system, including instances of exposed or frayed wiring in certain areas. These defects not only increase the risk of electrocution but could potentially lead to more substantial problems if left unattended. In light of the above concerns, I kindly request that you promptly take the necessary steps to address these issues by engaging a reputable and licensed electrician to conduct a thorough assessment and subsequent repairs and replacements. Alongside ensuring the immediate safety of all residents, timely action in this matter will also prevent further damage to the property, mitigate potential costs, and maintain its marketability. I must emphasize that my concerns regarding these safety hazards are not to be taken lightly, as it is your duty as a landlord to ensure the habitability and well-being of your tenants. I kindly request that you respond to this matter in writing within [specific time frame] to outline your proposed course of action and provide a timeline for resolving the aforementioned lighting and wiring concerns. Please note that if no satisfactory response or immediate action is taken within the stipulated time, I may have no choice but to exercise my legal rights as a tenant, which may include reporting the unsafe conditions to the appropriate local housing authorities. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. I trust that your swift actions will prioritize the safety of your tenants and effectively address the lighting and wiring concerns outlined in this letter. Yours sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Contact Information: Phone Number, Email Address] [Date]
