I am writing to address a significant issue that has recently emerged in the rental property located at [rental property address] which requires your immediate attention as the landlord. As a tenant residing in your property, I have noticed an alarming increase in the presence of garbage and vermin on the premises, which poses serious health and safety risks. It is my responsibility to inform you, as the property owner and landlord, about these concerns and to demand that prompt action be taken to rectify the situation. Specifically, I have observed the following conditions on the rental premises: 1. Garbage Accumulation: The designated garbage disposal area is consistently overflowing, leading to unsightly conditions and attracting pests. This accumulation of garbage not only creates an unhygienic living environment but also violates local health codes and regulations. 2. Vermin Infestation: As a direct consequence of the excessive garbage accumulation, there has been a noticeable increase in the presence of vermin, such as rats and cockroaches, within the property. These pests pose a significant health risk to me, my family, and other tenants residing in the building. Due to the severity of this situation, I kindly request that you take the following actions immediately: 1. Regular Garbage Collection: Implement a more frequent and consistent garbage collection schedule to ensure that the designated disposal area is properly managed and emptied as required. 2. Pest Control Measures: Arrange for professional pest control services to investigate and eliminate the vermin infestation in a comprehensive manner. Adequate measures should be employed to prevent further infestations in the future. 3. Sanitation Maintenance: Ensure that the rental property complies with all local sanitation and health regulations. This includes maintaining cleanliness in common areas, enforcing proper waste management, and addressing any existing deficiencies promptly. I kindly ask that you address and resolve these issues within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter. Neglecting to take immediate action will not only continue to compromise the quality of living for myself and other tenants but may also lead to further legal actions if necessary. Please confirm in writing within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 3 days] that you have received this letter, understand the gravity of the situation, and have begun to take effective steps to resolve these concerns. Failure to respond in a timely manner may be interpreted as intentional negligence on your part, which could result in potential legal consequences. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that the rental premises are maintained in a safe and habitable condition. I trust that you will be committed to resolving these issues promptly to foster a healthier living environment for all tenants.
