Subject: Urgent Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from the Premises — [Your Name and Address] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue that requires immediate attention — the presence of excessive garbage and persistent vermin infestation on the premises of [rental property address]. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial that we address these concerns promptly for the well-being and safety of all occupants. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for your prompt handling of maintenance issues in the past. However, despite our numerous conversations and previous requests to resolve the garbage accumulation and pest problem, the situation has yet to be adequately addressed. Garbage Accumulation: 1. Waste Management: The trash bins and designated garbage disposal areas have become overburdened, leading to overflow and scattered litter. The accumulated garbage poses health risks, attracts vermin, and creates an unpleasant living environment. 2. Collection Schedule: It has come to my attention that the trash collection services are not conducted frequently enough, allowing the garbage to pile up over an extended period. This negligence worsens the infestation issue, as it provides an abundant food source for pests. Persistent Vermin Infestation: 1. Rodents and insects: The current condition of our dwelling has allowed for an alarming increase in vermin presence, including rats, mice, cockroaches, and other insects. Not only are these pests damaging personal property, but they also pose significant health hazards, carrying diseases that can harm the residents. 2. Structural Disrepair: Structural issues such as cracks, gaps, or broken doors and windows have provided easy entry points for these pests. Since they are creatures of opportunity, it becomes imperative to address these maintenance concerns promptly to prevent further infestations. I understand that maintaining a property's cleanliness and ensuring pest control falls under the landlord's responsibilities, as stated in the tenancy agreement. I kindly request that the following actions be taken immediately to rectify the situation: 1. Removal of Garbage: Please arrange for the immediate removal of all accumulated garbage from the premises, followed by regular and timely trash collection services, in line with local regulations. 2. Professional Pest Control: It is vital to hire a professional pest control service to address the vermin infestation comprehensively. This should include an assessment, extermination, and implementation of preventative measures to mitigate any future reinfestations. 3. Structural Maintenance: I kindly request your immediate attention to repairing any structural damages that may facilitate the entry of vermin into the property. This includes repairing cracks, gaps, broken doors, and windows, ensuring secure fittings and weatherstripping. Failure to address these issues promptly poses a threat to the health, safety, and habitability of the premises. If appropriate actions are not taken within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the date of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate my concerns to the relevant housing authorities. I genuinely hope it does not come to that point, as I believe in resolving issues directly and amicably. I trust that you will take immediate action to rectify these pressing matters for the overall benefit and satisfaction of the tenants. Please provide a written response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 48 hours] to confirm the steps you will be taking to address these concerns. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I am hopeful that we can work together to promptly resolve these issues and maintain a clean, safe, and habitable living environment for all residents.
