Description

This form is used by a tenant to inform the landlord of a problem with the lease premises, specifically that there are unsanitary conditions. With this form, the tenant notifies the landlord that he/she/it has breached the lease agreement and demands that immediate repairs be made. Subject: Urgent Request to Remove Garbage and Eradicate Vermin from Premises — Olathe, Kansas Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the persisting issues of garbage accumulation and vermin infestation within the rental property located at [property address]. As a tenant, I believe it is our collective responsibility to maintain the premises to a livable and healthy standard. Unfortunately, despite my previous verbal complaints and the passage of a significant amount of time, the situation has not been adequately resolved. The presence of excessive garbage and proliferating pests poses a significant risk not only to my health and well-being but also to the overall habitability and reputation of the property. Thus, I kindly request your immediate attention and assistance in resolving these issues. To shed light on the severity of the matters at hand, I would like to detail the specific problems I have encountered: 1. Garbage Accumulation: — There is an accumulation of garbage both inside and outside the property which has not been consistently taken care of. — Trash cans appear to overflow frequently due to inadequate waste management. — The lack of a proper waste disposal system contributes to the pungent odor permeating the surroundings, making it unbearable for anyone residing or passing by the property. 2. Vermin Infestation: — Numerous signs of vermin, such as droppings and chewed-through materials, indicate an infestation of rats/mice/cockroaches (please specify). — These pests pose a serious health risk as they carry diseases and allergens, compromising the livability of the property. — Attempts to eradicate the pests through my own means have proven ineffective, necessitating professional intervention. Given the gravity of the situation, I kindly request that you take immediate action to resolve these issues. I am specifically seeking the following actions from you: 1. Immediate Garbage Removal: — Arrange for regular and timely garbage collection services. — Provide additional waste management resources if deemed necessary to prevent overflow and unsightly accumulation. — Implement guidelines or policies to ensure proper utilization of these resources by all tenants. 2. Pest Control Measures: — Engage a licensed and reputable pest control company to conduct a thorough inspection, identify the root cause of the infestation, and provide effective extermination services. — Regularly schedule pest control treatments to ensure the long-term eradication of vermin. — Implement preventative measures such as sealing entry points and providing appropriate storage solutions for food items to deter future infestations. I believe it is in both our interests to create and maintain a habitable environment that ensures the safety, health, and satisfaction of all tenants. Please be aware that failure to address these concerns promptly may result in further actions being taken to uphold my rights as a tenant, as outlined in the lease agreement. To facilitate effective communication and resolution, I kindly request a written response from you within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] acknowledging the receipt of this letter and outlining your proposed plan of action. This will allow us to work cooperatively to rectify these issues in a timely manner. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I remain hopeful that with your swift action, we can restore the property to a clean and habitable state. I look forward to receiving your prompt response and cooperating to resolve these concerns. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
