Subject: Urgent Demand for Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Premises — Riverside, California [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you as a concerned tenant to urgently address a significant issue regarding the condition of the premises I currently occupy at [Rental Property Address] in Riverside, California. It is with great distress that I bring to your attention the pervasive presence of garbage and vermin on the property. As a tenant, I have the right to reside in a safe, clean, and habitable environment, as mandated by the California Civil Code Section 1941.1. Unfortunately, the current state of the premises not only violates my rights but also poses serious health hazards, including the potential spread of diseases and the attraction of further infestations. The specific concerns that demand your immediate attention and remedial action are as follows: 1. Garbage Accumulation: The proper disposal of garbage is vital in maintaining a clean and hygienic living environment. However, I have observed an excessive accumulation of household waste and debris around the property. This prevailing situation not only compromises the aesthetics of the premises but also attracts pests, which exacerbates the risk of infestations. 2. Vermin Infestation: The presence of vermin is an issue of extreme concern. I have personally witnessed rodents and pests, such as rats, mice, and cockroaches, throughout the rental unit. These pests are not only a nuisance but also bring with them a host of health-related problems, including food contamination, destruction of property, unpleasant odors, and possible allergic reactions. Given the severity and urgency of the situation, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address the concerns mentioned above. It is crucial that you hire professional pest control services to eliminate the existing vermin infestation promptly. Furthermore, I urge you to establish a regular garbage collection and disposal system to prevent any future accumulation and ensure the cleanliness of the premises. As a tenant, I am committed to maintaining the property in a clean and orderly state according to the terms of our lease agreement. However, the current situation necessitates your immediate intervention and cooperation to rectify these issues promptly, as mandated by California tenant rights and local health codes. In conclusion, the potential health risks, property damage, and legal implications associated with the current state of the premises demand your immediate attention and action. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter confirming the remedial measures you intend to take to mitigate the situation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to rectify the prevailing issues to restore a safe and habitable living environment.
