Serious Electrical and Fire Hazard at Rental Property – No Urgent Action Taken

I am lodging this complaint to highlight a serious and ongoing safety hazard at my rental unit at Eagles Crest, which has not been addressed with the urgency it requires.

Water is leaking from the roof directly into a ceiling light fitting, with the bowl cover filling with water. The light fitting is also loose in the ceiling, making it unsafe and impossible for me to remove the bowl or empty the water without risking electric shock or injury. This is an active electrical hazard, not a cosmetic or routine maintenance issue.

The situation presents a clear risk of electrical short-circuit, electric shock, and fire. I have avoided using the light and the area for safety reasons. Despite this being reported, there has been no immediate remedial action.

Although each unit has its own DB box, this is one building with shared roof and structural spaces. Any electrical fault or fire originating in the ceiling or roof void could reasonably spread to neighbouring units.

The risk is particularly concerning because:

One neighbouring resident is disabled and cannot evacuate quickly

The building is adjacent to dog kennels, placing animals at risk

The property is close to a hall where grass bales are stored, which are highly flammable and could allow a small electrical fire to escalate rapidly

This matter has been formally reported, yet the response to date has been inadequate given the known danger. From a safety, legal, and duty-of-care perspective, allowing an electrical fitting to fill with water is unacceptable.

I am posting this complaint publicly in the hope that the seriousness of the situation is finally recognised and that urgent inspection, isolation of the electrical risk, and repair of both the roof leak and the light fitting will take place without further delay.
