Miami Gardens Florida 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: Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from the Rental premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the unsanitary condition of the rental premises located at [Rental Property Address], Miami Gardens, Florida. As your tenant, I am deeply concerned and disappointed by the presence of garbage and vermin within the property, which pose a severe health and safety hazard. Firstly, I would like to emphasize my understanding of your responsibility as a landlord to maintain the premises in a habitable condition as required by applicable Florida state laws and the lease agreement. According to these regulations, it is vital that the rental property remains free from rubbish, garbage, and any infestation of vermin, such as rodents, insects, and pests. Regrettably, the current state of the premises does not meet these basic standards. The garbage disposal system seems to be inadequately maintained, resulting in the accumulation of waste both indoors and outdoors. This situation not only compromises the cleanliness and hygiene of the property but also encourages the presence and reproduction of pests, including rats, cockroaches, and ants. Living in such unsanitary conditions is not only distressing but also exposes me and my fellow tenants to significant health risks. These hazards include the spread of diseases, contamination of food, allergies, and potential damage to personal property. Therefore, I kindly request that you promptly take the necessary measures to resolve these issues and restore the rental property to a habitable state. Specifically, I demand the following actions be taken without delay: 1. Removal of all garbage and waste materials from both the interior and exterior of the premises. This includes garbage disposal bins, trash bags, and any discarded items that may have accumulated. 2. Thorough cleaning of the entire property, including common areas, individual units, and any other areas affected by garbage or vermin. 3. Engaging licensed pest control professionals to assess, treat, and eliminate any vermin infestation promptly. This should include preventive measures to discourage future recurrence. 4. Implementation of regular maintenance and cleaning schedules to prevent the reoccurrence of these conditions in the future. Please be advised that failure to address these issues promptly will compel me to consider legal remedies available to me as a tenant. This may include filing complaints with the relevant local authorities, contacting code enforcement, withholding rent, or even seeking termination of the lease agreement based on your breach of the implied warranty of habitability. I believe that it is in both our best interests to resolve this matter amicably and swiftly. As a responsible landlord, I have full faith in your commitment to maintaining a safe and habitable living environment for your tenants. Therefore, I kindly request a written response to this letter within [reasonable timeline] outlining your plan of action to rectify the garbage and vermin issues. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to resolving these concerns expediently. Feel free to contact me via phone or email to discuss this further or to schedule a visit to the premises. Thank you for your cooperation.
