I am writing to bring a serious matter to your attention regarding the alarming number of garbage and vermin infestations in my rented premises at [Property Address] in Scottsdale, Arizona. I kindly request your urgent action to address this issue promptly and ensure a clean and habitable living environment as per our rental agreement. As you are aware, it is the landlord's responsibility to provide a safe and healthy living space, free from any infestation or unsanitary conditions. Unfortunately, I have noticed an increasing presence of garbage and an influx of vermin, including but not limited to rodents, insects, and pests within the property. This situation poses serious health risks, jeopardizes my well-being, and violates the terms of our lease agreement. Considering the urgency of the matter, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify this situation. Here are the specific actions I expect you to undertake: 1. Garbage Removal: a. Arrange for regular trash collection services, at least on a weekly basis. b. Provide sufficient and well-maintained garbage bins or dumpsters. c. Ensure that all garbage containers are securely sealed to prevent spillage and attracting vermin. 2. Pest Control: a. Hire a professional pest control service to comprehensively treat the property for all types of pests, including rodents, insects, and others identified in the current infestation. b. Undertake any necessary repairs or maintenance to prevent pests from entering the premises, such as sealing gaps, cracks, or holes. 3. Cleaning and Sanitization: a. Conduct a thorough cleaning of the entire property, including common areas, hallways, and individual units. b. Dispose of any leftover garbage or debris inside and outside the building promptly. c. Maintain cleanliness and sanitation standards regularly to avoid future infestations. 4. Timelines and Communication: a. Given the urgency and severity of the situation, I kindly request that you provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] of receiving this letter, detailing the actions you intend to take to resolve these issues. b. Please keep consistent communication with me to update progress, schedule appointments, and coordinate access to the premises to address the garbage and vermin issues adequately. Failure to comply with this demand and neglecting to take immediate action may lead to serious consequences, including legal actions and requesting for rent abatement until this issue is fully resolved. However, I believe that by working together, we can address this matter promptly and amicably. I trust that you understand the urgency of this situation. I look forward to a swift and effective resolution to ensure a clean and hygienic living environment as mandated by our rental agreement. Kindly confirm your receipt of this letter and your plan of action as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
