As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to inform you of potential hazards that could compromise the safety and well-being of both the property and its occupants.

To address these matters effectively, I kindly request the following actions be taken: 1. Conduct a professional inspection of the entire property's lighting fixtures and wiring to identify areas of concern and ensure they meet all necessary safety regulations. 2. Engage a licensed and qualified electrician to promptly repair or replace any faulty or damaged lighting fixtures, bulbs, switches, or wiring. 3. Provide a detailed timeline for the completion of the repairs to ensure transparency and accountability. 4. Share the preventive measures that will be implemented to reduce the recurrence of such issues in the future. As a tenant, it is my responsibility to report any maintenance issues promptly, and I trust that, as a landlord, your commitment to ensuring the well-being and security of your tenants will be paramount.
