Vista California Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Urgent Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your immediate attention to the alarming issue of persistent garbage accumulation and infestation of vermin on the premises of [Address of Rental Property], which requires your immediate action. First and foremost, I want to emphasize that I greatly value the property and consider it my responsibility to maintain it in good condition during my tenancy. However, despite my best efforts, the persistent presence of garbage has become a significant concern affecting my wellbeing and jeopardizing my right to a habitable living environment. It has come to my attention that the proper disposal of garbage has not been executed regularly and effectively on the premises. The garbage bins are frequently overflowing with refuse, attracting pests and vermin such as rats, cockroaches, and flies. This not only poses health hazards but also compromises the quality of life I am entitled to as per the terms of our lease agreement. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to maintain cleanliness within my rented space, but the accumulated garbage and vermin infestation in and around the common areas, such as [specific areas like the parking lot, hallways, or communal spaces], are beyond my control. This unsanitary situation affects my peace of mind and poses risks to my health and safety. Therefore, I kindly request that you intervene promptly and take appropriate measures to address the following issues: 1. Regular and timely removal of garbage: Ensure that garbage bins are emptied on a regular basis to prevent overflow, odors, and the attraction of pests. 2. Enhance waste management practices: Implement proper waste management protocols, such as introducing additional garbage bins if needed, to effectively contain the accumulation of waste. 3. Pest control measures: Immediately hire professional pest control services to eliminate the vermin infestation and prevent their future recurrence. Please ensure that the chosen service provider is licensed, reliable, and uses eco-friendly methods to protect both the environment and human health. 4. Regular property inspections: Conduct routine inspections to identify any underlying issues that contribute to garbage accumulation or provide potential habitats for vermin. Address these concerns promptly to maintain a clean and habitable living environment for all tenants. Moreover, I insist that these corrective actions be initiated within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days] from the receipt of this letter. Failing to take decisive measures within the given time frame will leave me no choice but to explore legal remedies available to tenants under California law to enforce my right to habitability. I believe that through our mutual collaboration and prompt remediation, we can resolve this matter amicably and ensure the harmony and wellbeing of the residents in this community. I would appreciate your written acknowledgement of this letter, detailing the actions you intend to take to address the aforementioned concerns. Feel free to reach me at the provided contact information to discuss any necessary arrangements or clarifications. Thank you for your immediate attention and cooperation in this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
