[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Immediate Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention the alarming and unsanitary conditions that persist on the premises of the property located at [Property Address] in Glendale, Arizona. As a tenant, I have witnessed an increasing presence of garbage and vermin, which are not only a violation of our lease agreement but also pose a serious threat to the health and well-being of all occupants. The accumulation of garbage in and around the property has reached an intolerable level. The garbage bins provided are consistently overflowing, attracting pests and creating an unbearable stench. Additionally, waste materials such as old furniture, broken appliances, and discarded items are scattered throughout the common areas, thereby creating an unappealing and unsanitary environment. Furthermore, it has come to my attention that various vermin infestations, such as rats, mice, cockroaches, and other pests, have become a persistent problem within the premises. These pests not only damage personal property but also pose significant health risks by spreading diseases, triggering allergies, and contaminating food sources. In light of these circumstances, I formally demand that you take immediate action to rectify these issues. Specifically, I request the following: 1. Garbage Removal: Implement a more efficient waste management system to ensure regular garbage collection and prevent overflow. Provide sufficient and properly maintained garbage bins to accommodate the needs of all tenants, including the appropriate labeling of recycling bins. 2. Clean-Up and Sanitization: Conduct a thorough clean-up of the entire property, including common areas, walkways, parking lots, and individual units. Dispose of any broken or unwanted items responsibly. 3. Pest Control Measures: Hire a professional pest control service to inspect and treat the property for all existing vermin infestations. Implement preventive measures to ensure long-term prevention and protection against pests. 4. Regular Maintenance: Implement a schedule for regular maintenance, including routine inspections of garbage areas, common spaces, and units to ensure cleanliness and promptly address any arising issues. Failure to address these concerns in a timely manner will leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter, seeking legal action, and reporting the violations to the appropriate housing and health authorities for further investigation. Furthermore, it is important to note that the presence of garbage and vermin jeopardizes the habitability of the premises, which constitutes a breach of our lease agreement. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter, confirming your commitment to resolving these issues. Additionally, please provide a detailed plan outlining the steps you will take to remedy the situation. I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and maintain a safe and healthy living environment for all tenants. I look forward to your prompt attention to this urgent matter. Thank you for your immediate cooperation.
