[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Demand for Immediate Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the deteriorating condition of the premises I am currently renting from you at [Rental Property Address] in McAllen, Texas. As per our lease agreement, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the rented property is maintained in a habitable condition. Unfortunately, I have noticed a significant accumulation of garbage and a severe infestation of vermin within the premises. This condition is not only unsightly but also poses a serious threat to my health and well-being. Specifically, I have observed the following issues: 1. Garbage Accumulation: ā The designated trash collection area is overflowing, attracting pests and creating a foul odor. ā Trash bins are not being emptied on a regular basis, leading to an unsanitary living environment. ā Garbage has been left unattended in common areas, such as hallways and parking lots. 2. Vermin Infestation: ā Cockroaches, ants, and rodents have been spotted in various parts of the rental unit. ā Evidence of vermin activities, such as gnawed wires, droppings, and nests, are becoming increasingly prevalent. ā The infestation is quickly spreading, posing potential health risks and property damage. Given the severity of these issues, I strongly urge you to take immediate action to address the situation. As a tenant, I have the right to live in a safe, clean, and habitable environment. Failure to meet these obligations exposes you to potential legal consequences and could damage your reputation as a responsible landlord. Therefore, I kindly demand the following actions to be taken within [reasonable timeframe, such as 7 days]: 1. Arrange for a professional cleaning crew to remove all garbage from the property promptly. 2. Enlist the services of a licensed pest control company to exterminate the vermin and prevent their further intrusion. 3. Implement regular garbage collection services to maintain cleanliness and prevent future issues. 4. Conduct routine inspections to ensure that the premises remain free from garbage and vermin. If prompt action is not taken to alleviate these problems, I will be left with no choice but to seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that you value our tenant-landlord relationship and will act responsibly to resolve this matter without further delay. Please confirm in writing your plan of action to remedy the situation. I can be reached at [your phone number] or [your email address] to discuss any concerns or updates related to this matter. I eagerly await your response within [reasonable timeframe, such as 48 hours] of receiving this letter. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
