Title: Fairfax, Virginia Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Repair Unsafe or Broken Lights or Wiring Keywords: Fairfax, Virginia, letter, tenant, landlord, repair, unsafe lights, broken lights, unsafe wiring, broken wiring, demand Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention some serious concerns regarding the unsafe or broken lights and wiring in my rented property located in Fairfax, Virginia. As your tenant, it is my responsibility to ensure a safe living environment for myself and my family. I kindly request your immediate attention and prompt action in addressing these maintenance issues or arranging for their repair. I. Description of the Issue: 1. Unsafe Lights: a) Example 1: The hallway light fixture in front of my unit has been flickering intermittently, making it difficult to navigate in the dark. This poses a safety hazard, especially for elderly residents and young children. b) Example 2: The light in the stairwell leading to the basement has completely stopped functioning, leaving the area dimly lit. This lack of adequate lighting poses a risk of accidents and falls. 2. Broken Lights: a) Example 1: The ceiling light in my kitchen has been out for the past two weeks. Despite my attempts to change the bulb, it still does not work. This hampers daily activities and affects the overall functionality of the kitchen area, which is essential for meal preparation. b) Example 2: The bathroom vanity light has a faulty switch, causing it to work intermittently. It often flickers or fails to turn on, creating inconvenience and potential safety hazards such as accidental slips or falls. 3. Unsafe Wiring: a) Example 1: Outlets in the living room and bedroom near my child's play area are loose and intermittent, making it challenging to keep electronic devices securely plugged-in. This can result in damaging the devices or even pose a fire hazard. b) Example 2: The wiring behind the laundry room appears frayed, exposing the copper wires underneath. This is an imminent risk that could lead to an electrical short circuit, fire outbreak, or severe electric shock. II. Request for Immediate Action: Considering the potential risks associated with these unsafe or broken lights and wiring, I kindly request your immediate attention to resolve these maintenance issues. My family's safety should be of utmost importance, and it is crucial to maintain a safe living environment to comply with local regulations and your duties as a landlord. Please arrange for a qualified electrician to assess and repair the lights and wiring promptly. I request that you inform me of the scheduled date for repairs so that I may accommodate the technician's visit. III. Conclusion: In conclusion, I sincerely hope that you will address these concerns and act promptly to ensure the safety and well-being of the tenants in the property. I remain optimistic that you value our tenancy and will take the necessary measures to resolve these maintenance issues as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
