As your tenant, I respectfully request your immediate action to address the pressing issues of excessive garbage and prevalent vermin infestation on the premises.

In light of these circumstances, I kindly request the following actions to be taken promptly: 1. Thorough removal of all accumulated garbage and waste from the premises, including both indoor and outdoor areas. 2. Implementation of ongoing garbage collection procedures that adhere to the city's sanitation guidelines to avoid further accumulation and related issues in the future. 3. Swift extermination of all vermin species present on the premises utilizing professional pest control services. 4. Repair or replacement of any garbage disposal systems or cans that contribute to the persistent garbage buildup, ensuring their proper functioning. As per the Fort Wayne City Code, it is the landlord's responsibility to maintain the property to a habitable standard. Failure to address these issues promptly may lead to legal action and potential involvement of relevant health authorities, which I hope to avoid. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [reasonable timeframe] to confirm your intentions and provide a clear plan of action to resolve these concerns. It is in our mutual interest to ensure the property remains habitable and that both parties fulfill their respective obligations as outlined in the lease agreement.
