Subject: Urgent Demand for Proper Outdoor Garbage Receptacles — Tenant to Landlord [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a pressing issue that has been affecting our property at [Property Address] in Tallahassee, Florida, and to formally demand the installation of proper outdoor garbage receptacles. As a conscientious tenant, I believe it is crucial to maintain a clean and hygienic living environment. Unfortunately, the current lack of adequate outdoor garbage disposal facilities is leading to several problems, such as: 1. Accumulation of Waste: Without proper receptacles, the garbage in our community tends to accumulate in unsightly piles, not only causing an unpleasant view but also potentially attracting pests and rodents. 2. Odor and Hygiene Issues: The absence of designated garbage containers gives rise to unpleasant and lingering odors, negatively impacting the overall ambiance of the property. Moreover, this can become a breeding ground for bacteria and other harmful germs, posing health risks to residents. 3. Aesthetic Disruption: The improper disposal of trash compromises the overall aesthetic appeal of our property. With trash scattered around, it creates a visual eyesore, which can deter prospective tenants and lower the value of our community. To address these issues effectively, I kindly request that you take immediate action by providing us with the following: 1. Installation of Outdoor Garbage Receptacles: Please ensure the installation of sufficient outdoor garbage receptacles at strategically convenient locations throughout the property. These containers should be durable, secured against wildlife access, and large enough to accommodate the volume of trash generated by the community. 2. Regular Garbage Collection: Coordinate regular garbage collection services to ensure timely and efficient disposal. This will prevent the accumulation of waste and maintain a clean and sanitary environment. 3. Clear Guidelines: Display clear and informative guidelines near the garbage receptacles, outlining appropriate waste disposal procedures. This will help educate all residents and promote responsible garbage disposal habits. It is my sincere belief that by addressing these concerns promptly, both you as the landlord and all residents can enjoy a more pleasant living experience within our community. Please consider this letter as a formal request to resolve the issue within [reasonable timeframe — recommend 14 days]. Failure to comply with this request may result in further action, such as reporting the matter to local authorities or relevant regulatory bodies. I thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to ensure a safe, clean, and enjoyable residential environment for all tenants. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address].
