Subject: Urgent Request to Remove Garbage and Vermin: Tenant's Formal Demand to Landlord Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to address a serious issue that requires immediate attention regarding the premises I currently occupy as your tenant at [Address]. I have recently noticed an alarming abundance of garbage and evidence of vermin infestation within the property. This unacceptable situation not only compromises my health and safety but also violates the terms of our lease agreement, which requires you, as the landlord, to maintain the premises in a habitable condition. Specifically, the following concerns have come to my attention: 1. *Garbage Accumulation*: The common areas, including the alleys and dumpsters, have become heavily laden with garbage. Piles of trash bags are overflowing and scattered, creating an eyesore and a potential health hazard. 2. *Vermin Infestation*: I have observed multiple instances of vermin presence within the premises, including cockroaches, rodents, and flies. Their presence poses significant health risks and jeopardizes the overall cleanliness and livability of the property. As a responsible tenant, I have taken all necessary precautions to keep my living space clean, and these issues are not a result of negligence on my part. It is crucial that you, as the landlord, take immediate actions to rectify these problems. Given the severity of the situation, I kindly request the following actions to be taken promptly: 1. *Garbage Removal*: Arrange for the immediate removal and disposal of all accumulated garbage within the property, ensuring that the common areas are cleaned and maintained regularly to prevent future accumulations. 2. *Pest Control Services*: Arrange for professional pest control services to address the vermin infestation thoroughly. This should include a comprehensive treatment plan to eliminate pests, as well as regular follow-up inspections to ensure that the issue does not persist. 3. *Regular Maintenance*: Implement a routine maintenance schedule that encompasses garbage collection, cleaning of common areas, and ongoing pest control measures to prevent a recurrence of these issues. I firmly believe that proper and timely action on your part will not only restore the habitability and sanitation of the premises but also demonstrate your commitment to fulfilling your responsibilities as a landlord. Failure to address these concerns within a reasonable time frame may compel me to pursue legal options to protect my rights as a tenant. To ensure clear communication and documentation of these matters, I kindly request a written response to this letter within [a specific timeframe, e.g., 5 business days]. Please outline the actions you plan to take regarding the garbage removal, pest control, and maintenance to address these pressing concerns. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves, ensuring a safe, clean, and habitable environment for all tenants. I appreciate your immediate attention and prompt response to this letter. Thank you for your immediate action in resolving these issues. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information] [Date]
