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 for Garbage and Vermin Removal in Middlesex, Massachusetts Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning issue regarding the sanitation conditions in the rental property located at [Your Address]. As a tenant, I believe it is my right to reside in a clean and habitable environment, which unfortunately is not currently the case. First and foremost, I want to emphasize my utmost appreciation for your prompt attention to this matter. I understand that it is your responsibility as a landlord to maintain the property and ensure the well-being of your tenants. However, I have noticed an accumulation of garbage and an unwelcome presence of vermin in the premises lately, and I respectfully ask for your immediate action to resolve this problem. Specifically, the garbage disposal system seems to be inadequate as the garbage bins are frequently overflowing, attracting different kinds of vermin such as rats and insects. The unpleasant odor emanating from the garbage area is not only bothersome but also poses a potential health threat to both myself and other tenants. Additionally, I have personally come across vermin in and around my living space, which is highly distressing and compromises the quality of life in the rental property. This situation negatively impacts the overall living conditions and violates the terms of the lease agreement. According to the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code (105 CMR 410), Section II, Paragraph 1, it is clearly stated that landlords are obliged to maintain a clean and sanitary environment. Furthermore, the law requires landlords to promptly exterminate any vermin infestation, and failure to comply with these regulations could result in legal consequences. In light of the above, I kindly request the following actions: 1. Immediate removal of all accumulated garbage from the property, ensuring proper disposal and regular garbage collection. 2. Thorough pest control measures to eradicate the vermin population, both inside the apartment and around the premises. 3. Ongoing maintenance and preventive measures to ensure that such issues do not arise in the future. I believe it is in both our best interests to resolve this matter promptly and amicably. To prevent any further health risks or potential damage to the property, I propose that we establish a timeline for the completion of these actions. I suggest that the garbage removal and pest control measures be completed within [specific time frame], and I kindly request your cooperation in meeting this deadline. If necessary, I am open to discussing the possibility of a rent reduction during the time this issue persists. However, I firmly believe that resolving these concerns promptly will avoid the need for such actions. I trust in your professionalism and genuine commitment as a responsible landlord. Please reach out to me at your earliest convenience to acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide a concrete plan of action to address the issues mentioned above. Failure to respond within a reasonable time will leave me with no choice but to report this matter to the appropriate local authorities. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter, and I look forward to a swift resolution. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
