Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically that the lights and wiring do not work and are unsafe. 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. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss a concerning issue regarding the current safety hazards within my rental property located at [Property Address] in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I have noticed several significant problems with the lighting fixtures and wiring within the premises that require immediate attention and repair. The faulty lights and wiring pose potential risks to my safety, as well as to the overall structural integrity of the property. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to bring these concerns to your attention in order to prevent any accidents or further damage. Firstly, there are multiple lights throughout the property that have become non-functional or flicker constantly, causing inadequate illumination. This creates an unsafe environment, especially during darker hours when visibility is crucial. Certain areas, such as the staircase, hallway, and the exterior entrance, lack proper lighting, putting myself and other tenants at risk of slips, trips, or falls. Additionally, the lack of functional lighting in these common areas can contribute to unauthorized access, potentially compromising the security of the property. Moreover, there have been instances of damaged or exposed wiring within the property. These dangerous conditions can lead to electric shocks, fire hazards, or even electrocution. It is essential to address this issue promptly to ensure the well-being of all occupants and protect the property from potential damage. I kindly request that you initiate immediate repairs and resolution of these concerns. In accordance with the terms of our rental agreement, it is your legal responsibility to provide a safe and habitable living environment. I expect the repairs to be conducted by a licensed, qualified electrician to ensure the utmost professionalism and compliance with local safety codes and regulations. I urge you to schedule an inspection by a certified professional within the next three business days to assess the extent of the lighting and wiring issues and provide an estimate for the necessary repairs. Furthermore, I kindly request that you provide me with a written response within five business days to confirm the assessment, the proposed actions to remedy the situation, and a timeline for completion. If repairs are not initiated promptly, I regret to inform you that I will be forced to explore alternative options, such as filing an official complaint with the appropriate local authorities, seeking legal guidance, or withholding rental payments until the issue is resolved. I genuinely hope that such measures will not be necessary, as I believe in open and effective communication to resolve disputes efficiently. I trust that, given your commitment to upholding the obligations outlined in our rental agreement, you will promptly address these concerns and take the necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of all tenants. Furthermore, I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information.
