I am writing to address a grave concern regarding the current state of the rental property located at [Rental Property Address], for which I am currently a tenant. As a responsible and concerned tenant, I bring your attention to the urgent matter of garbage accumulation and vermin infestation that is affecting the habitability and safety of our living space. First and foremost, it is crucial to acknowledge that the accumulation of garbage in and around the premises has become a persistent problem. The smell and unsanitary conditions resulting from this garbage pose a significant health risk not only to myself but also to fellow tenants residing in the property. This has now attracted rodents, insects, and other vermin that further compromise our living conditions. Under the implied warranty of habitability, landlords are legally obligated to maintain rental properties in a clean and safe condition. In light of this, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address these issues by: 1. Arranging for the prompt removal of garbage and waste from both indoor and outdoor areas of the property. 2. Hiring professional pest control services to eliminate the vermin infestation thoroughly. 3. Implementing preventive measures to ensure that this issue does not recur. As my landlord, it is your responsibility to maintain the premises in a habitable condition throughout my tenancy. Failing to address these concerns may not only breach your contractual obligations but also violate local health and safety regulations. I understand that incidents might occur where property maintenance can be challenging, but the health and well-being of the tenants must be prioritized. It is my expectation that you will swiftly resolve these issues within no later than [reasonable timeframe, such as 7 days], ensuring a safe and clean living environment for all tenants. In the event that this matter is not promptly attended to, I may have no choice but to exercise my rights as a tenant, including consulting legal counsel, involving local health authorities, and considering alternative accommodation options. I believe that approaching this matter in a cooperative and amicable manner will result in a satisfactory resolution for all parties involved. Therefore, I urge you to take immediate action regarding this matter. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. Please inform me in writing of the actions you intend to take to address these concerns. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
