Subject: Urgent Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises — Tenant's Letter to Landlord in Sugar Land, Texas [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [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 you as a concerned tenant of your rental property located at [Property Address] in Sugar Land, Texas. I am compelled to bring an urgent matter to your attention that requires your prompt action to maintain the habitability and safety of the premises. First and foremost, I must express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the increasing accumulation of garbage and waste within the common areas of the property. The unsightly presence of overflowing trash bins and scattered debris has not only created an unpleasant living environment but also poses potential health hazards for all residents. It is imperative that immediate steps are taken to restore cleanliness and hygiene in our community. Additionally, I regret to inform you that our living spaces have been invaded by vermin, such as rats and cockroaches. These pests not only damage our personal belongings but also pose significant health risks, including the transmission of diseases. As a landlord, it is your duty to ensure that the premises are free from any infestations or conditions that attract vermin or insects. Given the severity of these issues, I kindly request that you take the following actions within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days]: 1. Arrange for a professional pest control company to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire property and exterminate any pests present. This should include treatment of both the common areas and individual units. 2. Regularly schedule professional pest control services to prevent future infestations and maintain a pest-free environment. 3. Ensure proper waste management by providing sufficient trash bins with regular collection services. The garbage containers should be adequately sized to accommodate the needs of all tenants and kept securely closed to prevent spillage and attracting pests. 4. Implement a comprehensive cleanliness plan, including regular cleaning of common areas and prompt removal of any garbage or debris found within the premises. 5. Share informative materials with tenants regarding waste disposal guidelines and best practices to collectively maintain cleanliness and minimize the risk of attracting vermin or pests. I remind you that as a tenant, I have the right to reside in a safe and habitable environment, as mandated by the lease agreement and local housing regulations. Failure to take immediate and effective action to address these concerns would be a clear violation of your responsibilities as a landlord. In the event that these demands are not met within the specified timeframe, I may have no choice but to explore legal remedies available to tenants under the Texas property code. I trust that it will not come to that, and we can work together to ensure the resolution of this matter swiftly and amicably. I look forward to witnessing your prompt response and seeing positive improvements in the cleanliness and safety of our living conditions. Should you require any further information or wish to discuss this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
