Subject: Urgent Action Required: Request to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises — Fort Lauderdale, Florida Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a pressing matter that requires your prompt and decisive action regarding the sanitation and pest control situation at [address of the property] in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As a conscientious tenant, I firmly believe that maintaining a clean and habitable living environment is crucial for both the comfort and well-being of all residents. Unfortunately, recent observations and experiences have compelled me to reach out to you with deep concern. 1. General Garbage Disposal Issues: Despite my best efforts to dispose of household waste responsibly, I have noticed a recurring problem with improper garbage disposal within the premises. Trash bins are being left overflowing for extended periods, leading to foul odors, unsightly appearance, and attracting vermin to our property. This not only brings about significant health risks but also tarnishes the overall appeal of the building. 2. Infestation of Vermin: In addition to the garbage disposal issue, the property has fallen victim to an infestation of vermin, including rats, mice, cockroaches, and other pests. The presence of these creatures compromises the safety and comfort of all residents and poses serious health risks. Such infestation undermines our peace of mind, making our living conditions intolerable and unhygienic. Considering the detrimental effects on our quality of life, I kindly request your immediate attention to address these concerns. In order to mitigate this situation effectively and restore a healthier living environment, I kindly urge you to undertake the following actions promptly: 1. Arrange for Frequent and Timely Garbage Collection: Please ensure that trash bins are emptied regularly, especially on the assigned collection days, to prevent overflow and the subsequent attraction of vermin. 2. Implement Adequate Pest Control Measures: Engage a professional pest control service to thoroughly inspect the premises, identify entry points for vermin, and implement effective treatment to eradicate existing infestations. Ongoing preventive measures should also be employed to diminish the likelihood of future outbreaks. 3. Improve Property Maintenance: Regular maintenance, cleaning, and repairs should be carried out to minimize potential pest habitats and discourage their presence. Address any structural vulnerabilities, seal gaps or cracks, improve ventilation, and maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property. 4. Communicate With Tenants: Keep residents informed about any measures taken, such as scheduled pest control treatments, in order to ensure transparency and cooperation from all parties involved. This will enhance our confidence that you are actively addressing our concerns and taking appropriate steps to rectify the situation. Please be aware that failure to address these matters promptly compromises my ability to live comfortably and enjoy the premises in a manner consistent with the lease agreement. I kindly request that all required measures be implemented within [reasonable timeframe e.g., 14 days] to rectify these issues effectively. To ensure our mutual understanding and maintain accurate records, I kindly request a written response acknowledging the receipt of this letter and providing a clear outline of the action plan to resolve the garbage and vermin issues at the property. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing matter. I trust that you will address these concerns with the seriousness they warrant and take swift action to restore a safe, hygienic, and enjoyable living environment for all residents.
