[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: First Notice ā Demand to Clean Up Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the unsatisfactory condition of [Property Address] as my current place of residence. As a tenant, I have observed several issues that demand immediate action to maintain the property's cleanliness and uphold a safe living environment. First and foremost, I would like to address the accumulation of trash and debris both inside and outside the premises. The common areas, including the parking lot, walkways, and stairwells, have become increasingly cluttered and neglected over the past few months. This poses a serious health hazard and diminishes the overall appeal of the property. Furthermore, inadequate pest control measures have resulted in the presence of insects and rodents throughout the premises. I have personally encountered pests in my unit, primarily in the kitchen and bathroom areas. This not only compromises our comfort as tenants but also poses potential health risks. Additionally, I have noticed that several essential maintenance tasks, such as repairing leaking faucets, fixing broken windows, and addressing structural damages, have been ignored for an extended period. These unresolved issues not only affect the functionality of the property but also decrease its market value. As a responsible tenant, I have made a genuine effort to maintain my leased unit in a neat and orderly manner. However, it is imperative that you, as the landlord, fulfill your responsibilities as outlined in the lease agreement. In accordance with state and local laws, I kindly request that the following actions be taken promptly: 1. Clean and declutter all common areas, including the parking lot, stairwells, and walkways. 2. Initiate a thorough pest control treatment throughout the entire property, focusing on the affected areas within my unit. 3. Address all outstanding maintenance issues, including plumbing, windows, and any structural damages. Please be advised that failure to rectify these issues within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] will leave me with no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me as a tenant. It is my sincere hope that we can resolve these matters amicably and restore the property to a livable and enjoyable condition. I kindly request a written response addressing your plan of action for the aforementioned improvements within [reasonable timeframe]. Communication and transparency in this matter are vital, and I expect timely updates on the progress made. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will take the necessary actions to improve the condition of the property. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
