This inspection will help identify any hidden faults or potential threats that require immediate fixing. 2. Timely Repairs and Replacements: Upon completion of the inspection, I urge you to promptly schedule the necessary repairs or replacements recommended by the electrician. This should include ensuring all lights are functioning correctly and replacing any damaged or frayed wiring to eliminate any safety risks. 3. Formal Communication: I kindly request that you provide a written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] of receiving this letter, outlining the measures you intend to take to address these concerns effectively. As a tenant, I am fully committed to upholding my responsibilities in maintaining the property according to the terms of our lease agreement.
