Subject: Urgent Demand for Garbage and Vermin Remediation — Grand Rapids Michigan [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Dear [Landlord's Name], Re: Immediate Action Required: Removal of Garbage and Vermin Infestation at [Rental Property Address] I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention the alarming living conditions at [Rental Property Address] in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As your tenant who has been residing at the property, I have noticed severe issues regarding garbage accumulation and an ongoing vermin infestation, which require your immediate attention and remediation. Garbage Accumulation: It has come to my attention that garbage removal has been neglected, resulting in a hazardous situation. The accumulation of garbage is not only unsightly but also poses serious health risks for the residents of the building. The presence of garbage attracts vermin and stray animals, further exacerbating the issue. The waste has begun emitting foul odors, which are now permeating the building, making it an unpleasant and unhygienic living environment for tenants. Vermin Infestation: Furthermore, the property is heavily infested with vermin, including mice, rats, and cockroaches. These pests are highly detrimental to the well-being of the residents and can cause diseases, damage personal belongings, and compromise the structural integrity of the property. It is evident that their presence has resulted from the garbage accumulation negligence and unsatisfactory maintenance practices. Immediate Action Required: Given the severity of the situation, I kindly request that you take the following immediate actions to address these concerning issues: 1. Garbage removal: Arrange for professional garbage removal services to promptly clear out all accumulated waste within [number of days, i.e., 2-3 days]. This includes the proper disposal of both indoor and outdoor trash, bulky items, and any debris that may be attracting pests. 2. Pest control treatment: Engage a licensed pest control company to conduct thorough inspections, exterminate all vermin, and implement comprehensive measures to prevent their reoccurrence. This should encompass treating all affected areas and sealing any potential entry points effectively. 3. Ongoing maintenance: Implement regular and proper garbage disposal procedures, including scheduled pickups, to ensure a hygienic living environment for all residents. Additionally, consider implementing a pest control maintenance program to prevent future infestations. 4. Communication and updates: Keep tenants informed about the actions taken to rectify these issues and ensure transparent communication channels should further concern arise. Legal Implications: I would like to emphasize that under the terms of our lease agreement and applicable laws of Grand Rapids, Michigan, it is your obligation as the landlord to provide a safe, habitable dwelling that is free from garbage accumulation and vermin infestation. Failure to address these concerns promptly may be viewed as a violation of our contract, and I may have no choice but to seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. I understand that managing a property can be challenging; however, the livability and well-being of your tenants should always remain a priority. Therefore, I urge you to take immediate action to abate the garbage and vermin issues within [number of days, i.e., 7 days], as outlined above. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter within 48 hours and provide a written response outlining your proposed course of action. I expect to hear from you promptly to resolve this critical matter. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Signature] Enclosure: Photographs or evidence of the garbage and vermin issues (if applicable)
