[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Proper Outdoor Garbage Receptacles at [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue regarding the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles at the [Rental Property Address]. As your tenant, I kindly request immediate action to rectify this problem, as it is negatively impacting the cleanliness and overall living conditions at the property. Firstly, it is important to note that providing suitable outdoor garbage receptacles is not only a matter of convenience but also a legal requirement. As outlined in the Tampa, Florida municipal code [Insert relevant code section], it is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that appropriate provisions are in place for the proper storage and collection of trash. Unfortunately, the current situation at the property is far from satisfactory. The existing garbage disposal options are wholly inadequate, leaving tenants with no viable means to dispose of their waste adequately. Consequently, the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles has led to numerous issues, including but not limited to: 1. Accumulation of garbage: Due to the absence of sufficient receptacles, tenants are forced to leave their trash bags outside, which attracts pests and creates a health hazard. This not only affects the aesthetic appeal of the property but also poses a risk to our overall well-being. 2. Odor problems: The absence of proper garbage containers has resulted in unpleasant odors that permeate the surroundings, compromising the enjoyment of the premises and potentially affecting neighboring properties. 3. Attracting pests: Without an adequate waste disposal system in place, the property is susceptible to attracting insects, rodents, and other pests. This not only poses health risks but can also lead to property damage, affecting its market value. Considering the seriousness and urgency of the matter, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address this issue by provisioning the necessary outdoor garbage receptacles as soon as possible. This can be accomplished by providing designated garbage bins in appropriate locations, ensuring they are large enough to accommodate the needs of all tenants. Moreover, I would also appreciate receiving information about the scheduled garbage collection days, ensuring that it aligns with the local municipality's guidelines. This will help to establish a consistent garbage disposal routine and avoid any potential violations. As a responsible tenant, I am ready to cooperate and assist in any way necessary to ensure a swift and satisfactory resolution to this problem. However, please understand that if corrective action is not taken promptly, I may need to explore other avenues, including reporting the issue to the appropriate authorities or seeking legal counsel. I trust that you recognize the importance of providing proper outdoor garbage receptacles for the overall well-being of the tenants and the maintenance of the property's integrity. I look forward to your prompt response and the implementation of measures to address this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I anticipate a quick remediation of the situation.
