[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Rental Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing this letter in regard to the deteriorating living conditions at the rental premises located at [Rental Property Address] in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Firstly, I want to express my appreciation for providing me with a comfortable living space. However, I am deeply concerned about the ongoing issues related to the accumulation of garbage and the presence of vermin on the premises. These problems pose a severe threat to my health, well-being, and safety, as well as violate the terms of our lease agreement. As per our lease agreement [lease agreement reference or date], it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the premises in a habitable condition free from health hazards, including but not limited to, garbage accumulation and vermin infestation. I have documented the following concerns: 1. Garbage Accumulation: — Despite regular trash pickup, the garbage cans frequently overflow, attracting pests and creating a foul odor. — Trash bins are damaged and require immediate repair or replacement. — Proper disposal of garbage needs to be ensured, as it attracts vermin and poses a serious health risk. 2. Vermin Infestation: — I have noticed the presence of numerous vermin, including rodents, insects, and cockroaches, within the property. — Vermin droppings have been found in various areas, including the kitchen, bathroom, and storage areas. — Vermin infestations can cause various health issues, including allergies, bites, and the spread of diseases. In order to rectify these issues promptly, I kindly request that the following actions be taken: 1. Garbage Removal: — Arrange for larger or additional trash bins to accommodate the amount of waste generated. — Schedule more frequent garbage pickups to prevent overflow and unpleasant odors. — Ensure that all damaged trash bins are repaired or replaced promptly. 2. Vermin Control: — Immediately hire a professional pest control service to address the infestation. — Conduct regular pest control treatments to prevent reoccurrence. — Seal any potential points of entry for vermin, such as gaps or cracks in walls, doors, and windows. — Provide information and guidance on maintaining a clean and pest-free living environment. I believe it is essential to resolve these issues as soon as possible to maintain a habitable and comfortable living space. I kindly request that you take immediate action within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] from the date of this letter. Failure to address these concerns may result in the involvement of local housing authorities or other legal actions. I hope for a prompt and cooperative response to these pressing matters. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the action plan and confirm the steps you will take to resolve this situation. I prefer written communication in order to maintain a formal record of our discussions. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution.
