Fort Collins Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demanding Immediate Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my utmost concern regarding the unsanitary conditions and presence of garbage and vermin within the rental premises located at [Property Address]. As a dedicated tenant who pays rent on time and abides by the terms of the lease agreement, I kindly request your immediate attention and prompt action to resolve this critical matter. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that maintaining a clean and healthy living environment within the rental property is both your obligation as the landlord and my right as the tenant. The presence of garbage and vermin not only poses serious health risks but also violates the terms stated in the lease agreement, which outlines your responsibility to provide habitable premises. The specific issues I have observed that require immediate resolution are as follows: 1. Garbage Overload: The trash bins provided on the premises are consistently overflowing, resulting in scattered garbage and an offensive odor. The excess waste attracts rodents, insects, and other vermin, creating an unsightly and unhygienic living environment. This situation is not only detrimental to my well-being but also compromises the safety and comfort of other tenants. 2. Vermin Infestation: I have noticed a substantial increase in the presence of rodents, specifically rats, within the rental unit. These pests have been damaging personal property, contaminating food, and causing sleep disturbances. Furthermore, the health risks associated with rodent infestations, such as the spread of disease and allergies, cannot be ignored. In light of these concerns, I kindly request the following actions to be taken immediately: 1. Complete removal of all garbage and waste from the premises, including thorough cleaning of all communal areas, such as hallways, stairwells, and the exterior surroundings. 2. Engaging a professional pest control service promptly to address the infestation. This should include a thorough inspection, extermination of vermin, and preventive measures to ensure their long-term eradication. 3. Regular maintenance and inspection of garbage disposal areas, ensuring they are kept clean, and providing sufficient garbage bins to accommodate the needs of all tenants. 4. Implementing strict protocols and guidelines for waste management that emphasize prompt and proper disposal of trash, reducing the likelihood of any future recurrence. I urge you to take these demands seriously, as failure to do so not only compromises our living conditions but also violates my rights as a tenant. I kindly request a written response within 7 business days to outline your plan of action for addressing these issues. Please note that if the necessary steps are not taken to remedy this situation in a timely manner, I may be left with no choice but to consider further legal actions to protect my rights as a tenant. I hope for a swift and amicable resolution to this matter. I believe that by working together, we can restore a safe, clean, and habitable living environment for all tenants on the premises. Furthermore, I look forward to your prompt action and cooperation. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
