[Pompano Beach Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand — General] [Keywords: Pompano Beach, Florida, letter, tenant, landlord, demand, garbage, vermin, premises] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Immediate Action Required — Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue that requires your immediate attention and action. As a tenant at [property address], I am deeply concerned about the alarming presence of garbage and vermin on the premises. Despite repeatedly notifying your property management team about this problem, no effective steps have been taken to rectify the situation. The accumulation of garbage and the presence of vermin pose severe health and safety risks, thereby directly violating my rights as a tenant. It is my understanding that as a landlord, you have a legal obligation to maintain a safe and habitable environment for your tenants. Neglecting the removal of garbage and failure to address pest infestation fall well outside the acceptable standard of care expected from a responsible landlord. This unfortunate situation not only compromises the livability of the property but also puts my health at risk. Therefore, I demand that you take immediate action to resolve the following issues: 1. Garbage Removal: Arrange for the prompt removal of accumulated garbage from the premises. This includes disposing of any trash bags, debris, or other waste materials that may have been left unattended on the property. 2. Pest Control: Hire a licensed professional pest control service to thoroughly inspect and treat the property for any existing vermin infestation. This should include eliminating the pests, taking appropriate measures to prevent their return, and repairing any structural issues that may be contributing to their entry. Additionally, please provide a comprehensive plan outlining the steps you will take to ensure that this issue does not persist in the future. It is essential that you provide written confirmation of when the garbage removal and vermin control measures will be initiated and completed. Failure to respond promptly and effectively to this demand will leave me with no choice but to explore all available remedies provided under applicable laws and our lease agreement to protect my rights as a tenant. I expect this matter to be resolved within [reasonable timeframe e.g., 14 days] from the date of your receipt of this letter. I will be documenting any further neglect on your part, which may be necessary to defend my rights and seek compensation for any damages incurred. Please treat this issue with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation promptly and provide a safe, clean, and habitable living environment as required by the law. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
