Dear [Tenant's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. As your landlord, I would like to bring to your attention the current state of the property you are occupying at [property address] in New Jersey. It has come to my attention that the cleanliness and upkeep of the premises have been neglected. This letter serves as a first notice regarding the demand to clean up the property in accordance with the terms outlined in our rental agreement. Maintaining a clean and well-kept property is of utmost importance to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment for all tenants. It is also a requirement stated in our rental agreement, which you agreed to when signing the lease. The condition I have observed is not in compliance with the expectations set forth in the agreement, specifically regarding cleanliness and property maintenance. The following issues have been identified: 1. Clutter: There is an excessive amount of clutter in various areas of the property, including common spaces and your own personal living areas. This includes items such as old furniture, boxes, and general debris that obstructs safe passage and compromises the overall cleanliness of the property. 2. Garbage Disposal: Negligence in proper waste management has resulted in overflowing trash bins and a buildup of garbage around the property. This not only attracts pests and insects but also poses health hazards to all tenants. 3. Sanitation: The lack of regular cleaning and disinfecting of common areas and personal living spaces has led to unsanitary conditions. Issues such as mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors have been observed, which can lead to health problems if not addressed promptly. Failure to promptly address these issues and bring the property into compliance with the rental agreement within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] will result in further action as allowed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and outlined in our rental agreement. This may include eviction proceedings, penalties, or additional charges for cleaning and repairs, as specified in the agreement. I encourage you to take immediate action to rectify the problems mentioned above. Regular cleaning and prompt garbage disposal must be performed to ensure a clean and habitable living environment within the property. I request that you provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 48 hours] to acknowledge your commitment to addressing these concerns. If you require any assistance or have any questions regarding the proper cleaning procedures, waste management, or any other related matters, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to help and ensure that our rental property remains a desirable place to live for all tenants. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will comprehend the significance of this notification and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation promptly. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Landlord's Name] [Contact Information]
