Subject: Urgent Request to Remove Garbage and Eradicate Vermin from Premises — Arvada, Colorado [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord’s Name] [Landlord’s Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord’s Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter regarding the hazardous conditions affecting my tenancy at [Rental Property Address] in Arvada, Colorado. Despite my previous communications on this matter, the presence of garbage and vermin on the premises continues to pose significant concerns regarding my health, safety, and overall quality of living. I have observed and documented the following ongoing issues that require immediate attention: 1. Garbage Overflow: The designated garbage disposal area, as outlined in our lease agreement, is woefully inadequate to accommodate the needs of all tenants. This has resulted in a constant overflow of trash containers, allowing rubbish and waste materials to accumulate around the property. Besides creating an unsightly and unsanitary environment, this situation might attract vermin and other pests. 2. Vermin Infestation: As a direct consequence of the garbage overflow mentioned above, our residential complex has become infested with vermin, including rodents and insects. This infestation not only poses a health risk but also severely undermines our right to a habitable living space. The presence of these pests adversely affects my safety and well-being, as they contaminate food, damage property, and spread diseases. 3. Lack of Pest Control Measures: It has come to my attention that appropriate pest control measures have not been implemented by the property management company. Neglecting this crucial responsibility further exacerbates the vermin infestation and allows these pests to breed and spread throughout the premises. In light of the aforementioned health hazards and potential lease violations, I kindly demand and insist that the following actions be taken without delay: 1. Ensure Prompt Garbage Collection: The garbage disposal area must be appropriately managed and maintained to accommodate all tenants' waste disposal needs. Immediate action should be taken to rectify the current overflow issue and establish regular garbage collection schedules to prevent future accumulations. 2. Engage Professional Pest Control Services: Arrange for a professional pest control service to thoroughly inspect, treat, and eradicate the vermin infestation present in and around the property. Taking immediate action will ensure the health and well-being of all residents and prevent further property damage. 3. Implement Preventive Measures: In addition to addressing the existing problem, I request proactive measures to prevent future infestations. These may include regular inspections, sealing entry points, maintaining outdoor cleanliness, and educating tenants about responsible waste disposal. I remind you that providing a habitable living space is a fundamental obligation of landlords as outlined in Colorado's landlord-tenant laws. Failure to address these pressing concerns promptly may force me to explore legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant, including withholding rent until the issues are resolved or, if necessary, seeking alternative accommodations. I request a formal, written response within seven (7) days from the date of this letter, outlining your proposed actions and timeline for addressing these matters. I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue. I look forward to a swift resolution that ensures the cleanliness, safety, and wellbeing of all tenants.
