Subject: Urgent Request to Remove Garbage and Vermin — Tenant to Landlord, Oxnard, California Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the deteriorating conditions of the premises I currently occupy at [Apartment Complex/Address] in Oxnard, California. As your tenant, I believe it is my right to live in a clean, hygienic, and safe environment, which unfortunately is not the case at present. Firstly, I would like to address the issue of garbage accumulation within the property. Over the past few weeks, there has been a noticeable lack of regular waste disposal services, resulting in excessive garbage buildup. The rubbish bins are overflowing, scattered trash is accumulating near common areas, and foul odors have become pervasive. This poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of all residents, attracting pests and vermin into our homes. Which brings me to my second concern — the presence of vermin within the premises. It has come to my attention that our building is infested with various pests, such as rats, mice, and cockroaches. I have witnessed these creatures in and around the shared spaces, crawling through hallways and even inside some units. Their presence not only compromises our comfort and peace of mind but also poses significant health risks due to the potential spread of diseases and the destruction of personal belongings. Given the urgency and gravity of these issues, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to address the aforementioned problems. As a responsible landlord, I expect you to prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of your tenants. Therefore, I kindly request the following actions to be undertaken promptly: 1. Garbage Removal: Arrange for garbage bins to be promptly emptied on a regular basis. Additionally, ensure that proper waste management protocols are followed, including recycling measures. 2. Pest Control: Engage a qualified pest control service to conduct a comprehensive inspection and take appropriate measures to eradicate the infestation. This should include both extermination and preventive measures to ensure a long-term solution. 3. Maintenance and Repairs: Address any underlying issues, such as damaged walls, gaps, or cracks, that may allow pests to enter the premises. Additionally, promptly repair or replace any damaged fixtures and structures to prevent further vermin infiltration. 4. Communication and Transparency: To foster a healthier living environment, please keep the tenants informed about the actions being taken and provide an estimated timeline for resolution. Regular updates would be greatly appreciated. I trust that you comprehend the severity of these concerns and the impact they have on our overall living conditions. As a valued tenant who pays rent on time, I believe it is only fair to ask for your prompt action in rectifying these issues. It is our shared responsibility to ensure that the premises meet acceptable standards. Should you fail to address these concerns within a reasonable timeframe, I may be left with no choice but to explore legal remedies available to uphold my rights as a tenant. I am confident that it will not come to that point, as I believe you will take immediate action to rectify these problems. I look forward to your prompt and diligent response regarding the outlined demands. Your cooperation and commitment to maintaining a clean and habitable living environment is greatly appreciated.
