Subject: Request for Immediate Property Cleanup ā First Notice from Tenant to Landlord [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: DEMAND FOR PROPERTY CLEANUP ā FIRST NOTICE I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the unsatisfactory condition of the rental property located at [Property Address] in San Jose, California. As your tenant, I kindly request immediate action to rectify the prevalent cleanliness and maintenance issues observed within the premises. Firstly, I have noticed a number of persistent problems that require your prompt attention: 1. Pest Infestation: Despite several conversations regarding pest control, the property remains infested with rodents and insects. This not only poses a health hazard but also compromises the comfort and safety of the tenants. 2. Accumulation of Trash and Debris: The common areas, parking lot, and backyards have become a dumping ground for garbage and discarded items. This not only attracts further pest problems but also makes the property appear neglected and unkempt. 3. Overgrown Landscaping: The neglected landscaping has led to overgrown grass, shrubs, and trees. This not only diminishes the overall aesthetics of the property but also poses a security risk as it creates hiding spots for potential intruders. 4. Maintenance Negligence: Repairs that were previously reported, such as leaking faucets, faulty electrical outlets, and broken windows, have not been addressed despite the reasonable time provided for their resolution. As per the terms of our rental agreement, it is your responsibility as the landlord to ensure that the premises are maintained in a clean and habitable condition. By neglecting these essential responsibilities, you have breached your obligations, thereby placing my health, comfort, and safety at risk. I have attached photographic evidence of the aforementioned issues for your reference. In light of these concerns, I am officially requesting and demanding that you take immediate steps to address and resolve these issues within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] from the date of this notice. Failing to do so will leave me with no choice but to explore further legal actions to protect my rights as a tenant. Furthermore, I kindly ask you to inform me about the specific actions you plan to take to rectify the problems outlined above. Please provide a written response to this notice within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] acknowledging the receipt of this letter and detailing your plan for resolution. I would like to remind you that resolving these issues promptly will not only ensure the property's compliance with the rental agreement but also contribute to a safe, hygienic, and pleasant living environment for all tenants. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that we can reach a satisfactory resolution without further complications. I am more than willing to discuss the situation further and find a mutually agreeable solution. Furthermore, I look forward to your prompt response. Yours faithfully, [Your Name] Copy to: [Tenant Association Representative if applicable] [San Jose City Council Member if necessary] [Other relevant parties if necessary]
