[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Demand to Clean Up Property — First Notice Dear [Tenant's Name], I write this letter to address the ongoing cleanliness issues at the rental property located at [Tenant's Address], as your landlord. It has come to my attention that the premises have not been maintained in accordance with the terms agreed upon in the lease agreement. As outlined in Section [insert relevant section] of the lease agreement, it is the tenant's responsibility to keep the rental property clean, sanitary, and free from any health hazards. This includes maintaining proper waste disposal, regularly cleaning all living areas, and ensuring that the property remains in respectable condition. However, despite previous discussions and reminders, there have been continuous violations of these terms. Therefore, I am left with no choice but to issue this formal demand to clean up the property within [number of days specified in the lease agreement or any reasonable timeframe] of receiving this notice. Specifically, the issues that need to be addressed include, but are not limited to: 1. General cleanliness and tidiness: — Accumulation of clutter, garbage, and debris throughout the premises. — Overdue removal of trash and improper waste disposal causing foul odors and attracting pests. 2. Yard and exterior maintenance: — Neglected lawn care, including untrimmed grass, overgrown weeds, and unkempt flower beds. — Unattended landscaping issues, such as dead plants or fallen branches, creating an unsightly appearance. 3. Interior maintenance: — Lack of regular cleaning resulting in dirt, stains, and odors. — Failure to address any damages caused by negligence, those that violate the lease agreement, or pose a safety hazard. Failure to rectify these issues within the specified timeframe may result in further action, including the initiation of legal proceedings to enforce compliance with the lease agreement and seek appropriate remedies. I strongly urge you to take this matter seriously and promptly address the cleanliness concerns outlined above. Maintaining the rental property in a clean and well-maintained condition is not only necessary for your own well-being but also for the enjoyment and well-being of other tenants and the overall integrity of the property. Please provide a written response within [number of days, typically 5-7 days] of receiving this notice, acknowledging your understanding of the situation and confirming your commitment to clean up the premises by [insert a reasonable deadline]. Failure to respond or commence the necessary actions may result in further legal action, monetary penalties, or termination of the lease agreement. Should you require any assistance or if there are any extenuating circumstances that prevent timely compliance, please do not hesitate to contact me promptly to discuss potential solutions. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Your cooperation in restoring the rental property to an acceptable standard is greatly appreciated.
