Title: Rochester, New York Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises Keywords: Rochester, New York, letter, tenant, landlord, demand, remove, garbage, vermin, premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your urgent attention a serious issue that requires immediate action. As a tenant residing at [address], I am deeply concerned about the presence of excessive garbage and an infestation of vermin on the premises. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for choosing this apartment as my home. However, recent developments have made living conditions unbearable and hazardous. The accumulation of garbage within the vicinity has reached an unacceptable level. Not only does it create an unpleasant odor that permeates throughout the building, but it also attracts numerous pests, posing health risks to not only myself but also neighboring tenants. Furthermore, I regret to inform you that the premises are infested with various vermin, including rats, mice, and cockroaches. These pests not only destroy personal belongings but pose severe health hazards, spreading diseases, and causing distress and discomfort. Their presence has severely affected my quality of life and made inhabiting the premises challenging. Under the New York State Tenant Protection Act, it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain a habitable living environment. Section 235-B of the Real Property Law clearly states that landlords are obliged to ensure that rental units are free from rodents, insects, and other vermin infestations. Therefore, I kindly demand that you take immediate action to remove the garbage buildup and eradicate the pest problem from the premises. To address these issues promptly, I suggest taking the following actions: 1. Arrange for a licensed exterminator to visit the property at the earliest convenience to perform a thorough inspection and employ suitable pest control methods to eliminate the infestation effectively. 2. Provide regular garbage collection services and ensure that adequate trash bins are available for tenants to use conveniently. Implement a clear schedule for garbage disposal to prevent further accumulations. 3. Implement preventive measures such as sealing entry points, fixing gaps in walls or floors, and repairing any plumbing leaks that could attract vermin. 4. Undertake a deep cleaning of common areas, hallways, and any neglected spaces to discourage pest activity and maintain a hygienic environment for all tenants. Please be advised that failure to address these issues promptly would put you in violation of the lease agreement and may result in legal consequences. It is my sincere hope that we can resolve these concerns amicably and ensure the well-being and satisfaction of all tenants in this property. I request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] outlining the steps you intend to take to rectify this situation. Additionally, I kindly request that you keep me informed of any updates or progress made in addressing the issues raised. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will take swift action to restore a healthy and habitable living environment as required by law.
