Subject: Urgent Request for Garbage and Vermin Removal from Rental Property ā Kings, New York Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention an escalating concern regarding the presence of unsanitary conditions, specifically garbage and vermin infestation at the premises I am currently renting from you at [Rental Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, I understand and appreciate my duty to maintain the property in a clean and habitable state. However, despite my best efforts to maintain cleanliness, it has come to my attention that garbage disposal and pest control have been neglected, posing a health hazard and compromising the comfortable living conditions that I am entitled to. To highlight the gravity of the situation, I would like to draw your attention to the following issues: 1. Garbage Accumulation: The garbage disposal system on the premises has not been adequately addressed. Trash bins are overflowing, littering the surroundings and attracting unwanted pests. The overpowering stench from decaying waste is impacting my daily life and, possibly, the health and wellbeing of fellow residents. 2. Vermin Infestation: I have observed an infestation of rodents, insects, or other vermin in various areas of the rental property, including the kitchen, bathroom, and common areas. This poses a serious health risk, as they can carry disease and damage personal belongings. Immediate action is required to eradicate this infestation. 3. Breach of Lease Agreement: The presence of garbage accumulation and vermin infestation directly violates our lease agreement, which guarantees a clean and safe living environment. As the landlord, it is your responsibility to address these concerns promptly and effectively. Therefore, I kindly request the following actions be taken as a matter of urgency: 1. Immediate Garbage Removal: Arrange for the immediate removal of accumulated garbage on the premises. This includes emptying overflowing trash bins, disposing of waste appropriately, and maintaining regular garbage collection schedules. 2. Professional Pest Control: Hire a licensed and reputable pest control company to assess the extent of vermin infestation and implement an effective treatment plan. This should encompass thorough inspections, prevention measures, efficient extermination techniques, and recommendations for long-term pest control. 3. Preventative Measures: Implement preventive measures such as sealing entry points, maintaining cleanliness standards, and providing information to tenants about proper garbage disposal methods. This will help mitigate the chances of future infestations. 4. Regular Maintenance: Initiate a regular maintenance routine to ensure that garbage removal and pest control remain consistently managed. This includes periodic checks, scheduled treatments, and inspections to prevent reoccurrence. Failure to address these urgent concerns within [reasonable time frame for resolution] will leave me with no choice but to explore legal remedies available to protect my rights as a tenant. Please treat this matter with the utmost priority it deserves. I am confident that you will take immediate action to rectify these issues promptly. I expect to receive a written confirmation of the steps you will take to resolve this matter within [reasonable time frame for response]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
