[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Urgent Repair Request — Unsafe/Broken Lights and Wiring Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a crucial matter that requires immediate attention and resolution in order to ensure the safety and well-being of all the tenants in the property at [Property Address]. Over the past few weeks, I have observed several instances of malfunctioning and hazardous lighting fixtures and wiring within the premises. These issues pose significant risks to our safety and the integrity of the property. As a responsible landlord, it is imperative that you promptly address these concerns. Specifically, the following problems have been observed: 1. Broken Light Fixtures: At least four light fixtures within the common areas, including the hallways and stairwells, have been malfunctioning for an extended period. This lack of proper lighting compromises our safety, especially during nighttime when visibility is limited, and could potentially lead to accidents or injuries. 2. Flickering Lights: In various rooms and hallways, there are lights that constantly flicker or dim unexpectedly. Not only does this create an unpleasant living environment, but it also indicates a deeper electrical issue that could potentially result in fire hazards or electrical surges. 3. Exposed Wiring: Upon inspection, I noticed exposed wiring in the basement and storage areas. Exposed wiring is not only unsightly but also extremely hazardous, as it can cause electrocution or trigger an electrical fire, endangering all occupants of the property. Given the severity of these electrical problems, it is my duty to demand that these issues be rectified immediately. In light of such hazardous conditions, I kindly request that you take the following actions: 1. Conduct a thorough inspection of the property's electrical systems to identify the root cause of these issues. 2. Hire a qualified and licensed electrician to carry out the necessary repairs and address all noted safety concerns. 3. Provide a detailed timeline outlining when the repairs will commence and be completed, ensuring minimal disruption to the tenants. 4. Regularly communicate updates regarding the progress of the repairs to keep the tenants informed and reassured. Please be aware that in the interest of our safety and well-being, it is vital that these repairs are executed without delay. Failure to address these matters promptly may result in further property damage, legal consequences, or potential harm to the tenants. As a loyal tenant who values the comfort and safety of my living space, I trust that you will take this demand seriously and undertake the necessary actions immediately. I have every confidence that you will fulfill your responsibilities as a landlord and prioritize the well-being of all tenants in this matter. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter no later than [Date — provide a reasonable timeframe] and inform me of your intended course of action. Thank you for your prompt attention to this pressing matter. I eagerly anticipate your immediate action and resolution. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
