Title: Sacramento California Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Formal Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from the Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unsatisfactory conditions at the rental property located at [Property Address]. As my landlord, it is your responsibility to provide a safe and habitable living environment, which unfortunately, is currently failing to meet those standards due to the presence of excessive garbage and vermin infestations. I have observed and documented several instances where the accumulation of garbage has become a serious issue within the premises. The garbage cans provided are consistently overflowing, attracting not only rodents but also insects that pose a health hazard to myself as well as other tenants. This situation not only compromises our well-being but also violates your legal obligations under the California Health and Safety Code. Furthermore, the property has been invaded by vermin, including mice, rats, and roaches, which have begun to negatively impact our daily lives. These unwelcome creatures not only create an unsanitary living environment but also pose a significant risk to our health and safety due to the diseases they carry. In light of the aforementioned issues, I kindly request that you immediately take the following actions to rectify the situation: 1. Removal of Garbage: Arrange for regular and adequate garbage collection services to ensure the timely disposal of waste generated by all occupants of the property. Additionally, consider providing additional garbage cans if needed to accommodate the volume of waste produced. 2. Pest Control: Hire a certified and professional pest control service to conduct a thorough inspection and extermination of vermin throughout the entire premises. Regular follow-up visits should be scheduled to ensure the complete eradication of pests from the property. 3. Repairs and Improvements: Evaluate the property for any structural or maintenance-related issues that may contribute to the ongoing garbage and vermin problems. Undertake necessary repairs promptly to prevent recurrence. Please be informed that the aforementioned actions must be carried out within [reasonable timeframe, suggest 14 days] from the date of this letter. Failure to address these concerns promptly may leave me no choice but to explore legal remedies available under the California Tenant Rights Act, which may include reporting this matter to the local housing authorities or seeking legal counsel for further advice. I trust that you will give this matter your immediate attention and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation. I hope we can resolve this issue amicably, ensuring a safe and healthy living environment for all tenants. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. I look forward to your prompt response.
