I am writing to bring a serious issue to your immediate attention regarding the unsanitary conditions prevailing in my rented unit located at [Rental Property Address], Tucson, Arizona. As a responsible and concerned tenant, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address the following concerns to ensure a safe and habitable living environment. 1. Garbage Disposal: The accumulation of garbage in and around the premises has become unmanageable, posing health risks and attracting vermin and pests. The overflowing trash cans, scattered litter, and lack of regular garbage pick-up have created an unsightly and unhygienic environment. Moreover, the lack of proper disposal facilities endangers the well-being of myself and other tenants. 2. Vermin Infestation: The presence of vermin, such as rodents and insects, has become a major concern in the premises. I have witnessed cockroaches scurrying in the kitchen, sightings of mice near food storage areas, and droppings in various corners of the unit. This infestation poses health risks, damages personal property, and hampers the overall enjoyment and habitability of the rented premises. Immediate Action Required: I urge you to promptly address these concerns by taking the following actions: 1. Garbage Removal: a. Arrange for consistent and frequent garbage pick-up services within the premises. b. Ensure proper disposal facilities, such as additional dumpsters or bins, are available to accommodate the volume of generated waste. c. Communicate the garbage disposal guidelines to all tenants, emphasizing the importance of responsible waste management. 2. Vermin Extermination: a. Engage licensed pest control professionals to thoroughly inspect and treat the premises for vermin infestation. b. Implement preventive measures to ensure the eradication of pests, such as sealing cracks or openings where vermin may enter the unit. c. Regularly monitor and maintain the premises for any signs of reinfestation. I trust that, as a responsible landlord, you understand the urgency and severity of these concerns. Failure to promptly address these issues may result in further complications, including potential legal action to enforce my rights as a tenant. I believe that a safe, clean, and habitable living environment is not only essential but also required under Arizona tenant laws. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] outlining the actions you will take to rectify the situation. Moreover, please keep me informed of the progress made in resolving these issues to ensure effective communication and transparency. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this situation promptly to maintain a healthy and comfortable living environment for all tenants.
