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 bring to your attention a serious concern regarding the safety of my rental property. As a responsible tenant, I wanted to address this issue promptly to ensure the well-being of myself and fellow occupants. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for your continued support in maintaining the property. However, I have noticed a substantial problem with the lights and wiring in my Syracuse, New York residence. I have observed that several lights within the premises are either faulty, flickering, or completely non-functional. Additionally, there are some areas where the wiring appears outdated and, in a few instances, poses potential safety risks. Considering the importance of properly functioning lights and safe electrical systems, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these concerns. By doing so, you will not only ensure the safety of the tenants but also meet your obligation as a landlord to provide habitable living conditions. Specifically, I request that you arrange for a thorough inspection of the lighting fixtures and wiring by a certified electrician. This professional should be equipped to identify any underlying issues, recommend necessary repairs or replacements, and provide an estimated timeline for the completion of such work. It is crucial to emphasize that broken lights and faulty wiring in the living spaces pose serious hazards such as increased risk of electrical fires, potential electrocution, and inconvenient living conditions. Furthermore, legal implications may arise as failure to address these issues violates both local housing regulations and the terms of our lease agreement. As I understand the importance of tenant-landlord communication, I kindly request that you keep me updated on the progress of these repairs. Please inform me of any plans for inspections, repairs, or replacements, and provide an approximate timeline for when these actions will be taken. This will allow me to plan accordingly and keep my expectations in check. I trust that you will prioritize this matter promptly, as safety is of utmost importance. Should you require any additional information or assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I thank you in advance for your attention to this matter and your efforts to promptly address the lighting and wiring concerns within the property. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
