[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Proper Outdoor Garbage Receptacles Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue regarding the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles at [Property Name]. As a tenant, it is essential that I emphasize the significance of maintaining a clean, hygienic, and safe environment for all residents. Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to the absence of adequate garbage bins at the property. The current arrangement is insufficient for accommodating the garbage generated by the tenants, leading to overflowing trash cans and an unsightly appearance around the premises. This not only compromises the quality of living but also poses potential health hazards and attracts pests, which can negatively impact the overall well-being and comfort of residents. Having conducted thorough research, I have discovered that the City of Topeka, Kansas, requires landlords to provide proper outdoor garbage receptacles for their tenants. According to Section XX of the Topeka Municipal Code, it is mandatory for landlords to ensure that there are adequate and sturdy containers for storing refuse. These containers must be in good condition, have tight-fitting lids, and be of sufficient size to accommodate the amount of garbage generated by the residents. Based on my observations, I propose the following solutions to address this issue: 1. Installation of Additional Garbage Receptacles: I kindly request that you provide additional garbage bins in multiple designated locations throughout the property. This will help distribute the load evenly, reduce overflowing bins, and enhance convenience for all tenants. 2. Scheduled Waste Collection: It would be greatly appreciated if you could arrange for a more frequent waste collection service. By increasing the number of pick-ups, we can ensure that the garbage bins remain unclogged, reducing the risk of spillage and pest infestation. 3. Communication and Awareness: I encourage you to share guidelines for proper waste disposal and encourage all tenants to adhere to them. This will help maintain cleanliness and foster a sense of responsibility among the residents. 4. Recycling Facilities: Considering the increasing environmental awareness, I urge you to consider providing recycling bins as well. This will enable residents to segregate recyclable materials, contributing to a greener environment. I understand that addressing this issue requires time and planning. However, as a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial to address this matter promptly for the overall well-being of the community. I kindly request your urgent attention and action in implementing the solutions mentioned above. Please consider this letter as a formal demand for immediate action to provide proper outdoor garbage receptacles. I hope for a positive and prompt resolution to this matter. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. Thank you for your cooperation and swift attention to this concern. I look forward to seeing improvements in the near future. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
