Title: Costa Mesa California Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter to address an urgent concern regarding the condition of the premises I currently occupy as a tenant at [Property Address], Costa Mesa, California. I would like to request your prompt attention to the pressing issue of excessive garbage and pest infestation that has been negatively impacting my living conditions. Body: 1. Description of the Garbage Situation: Unfortunately, the accumulation of garbage both inside and outside the property has become a significant concern. There seems to be a continuous buildup of trash, debris, and discarded items in various areas, including the common areas, parking lots, and even within the units themselves. This unsightly mess poses health risks and creates an unpleasant living environment for all tenants. 2. Explanation of Vermin Infestation: Moreover, I must express my utmost dissatisfaction with the ongoing vermin infestation on the premises. The presence of pests such as rats, roaches, and insects has become unbearable and creates an unsanitary living condition. These pests not only contribute to a risk of diseases but also damage personal belongings, creating further financial burden for tenants. 3. Impact on Quality of Life: The substandard condition of the property has significantly affected my quality of life and well-being. The ongoing garbage issue and pest infestation have made it challenging to carry out basic activities like cooking, eating, sleeping, and even maintaining personal hygiene. This dire situation has left me feeling anxious, frustrated, and concerned about my health and safety. 4. Legal Obligations of the Landlord: As a responsible landlord, I believe it is your duty to ensure the premises are maintained in a habitable and sanitary condition, as per the laws governing rental properties in California. Under California Civil Code Section 1941.1, a landlord is required to provide habitable premises that are free of vermin and offer proper waste disposal facilities to tenants. 5. Specific Demand for Action: I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these persistent issues. Specifically, I respectfully demand the following actions to be undertaken without delay: a. Promptly arrange for professional extermination services to eliminate the vermin infestation throughout the entire property. b. Ensure the regular and proper disposal of garbage in designated bins or dumpsters to eradicate the accumulation of trash. c. Establish an effective system for maintaining cleanliness and preventing further issues related to garbage and vermin infestation. 6. Deadline for Resolution: To allow you sufficient time to address these critical matters, I kindly request that you resolve and rectify this situation within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter. Conclusion: I genuinely hope that you understand the gravity of this situation and will take immediate action to resolve the issues outlined above.
