Subject: Urgent Request to Address Garbage and Vermin Infestation at [Address] [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], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent matter regarding the unsanitary conditions and vermin infestation at the rented premises located at [Property Address]. As a responsible and concerned tenant, I kindly request immediate action on your part to resolve this issue promptly. Despite repeated verbal complaints and discussions regarding this problem, the garbage accumulation and presence of vermin such as rats and cockroaches have persistently plagued the premises. This situation not only compromises my health and safety but also disturbs my peace of mind, making the property inhabitable in its current state. As per our lease agreement and the landlord’s obligation to provide a safe and habitable living environment, it is imperative that you undertake the following measures: 1. Regular Removal of Garbage: The garbage disposal services have been insufficient, resulting in an accumulation of waste near the property. I kindly request you to arrange for proper and timely garbage collection or hire additional services to ensure proper disposal. 2. Professional Extermination Services: The presence of vermin poses significant health risks and can cause damage to personal belongings. I request that you promptly hire professional pest control services to address this issue comprehensively. The extermination process should include thorough treatment of the premises, addressing potential nest sites, and ensuring a long-term solution. 3. Sealing Potential Entry Points: I urge you to conduct a thorough inspection of the property and seal any points of entry that could potentially allow vermin access. This proactive step would greatly aid in preventing future infestations. 4. Regular Maintenance: It is essential that you maintain the property to a reasonably high standard to prevent any potential factors that may attract vermin or exacerbate the situation. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter within [reasonable timeframe — suggest 7-14 days], to ensure the comfortable and sanitary living conditions promised in our lease agreement. Failure to address this issue adequately and promptly may result in legal action, which I would prefer to avoid. Please consider this letter as a formal notice and acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation. I kindly request written confirmation of your action plan regarding the removal of garbage and exterminating vermin within [reasonable timeframe — suggest 48 hours of receipt of this letter]. Should you fail to meet the terms specified or provide a satisfactory response, I will have no choice but to seek appropriate legal remedies available to me to protect my rights as a tenant and ensure the provision of a habitable dwelling as mandated by local housing laws. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I sincerely hope we can resolve this issue amicably and ensure the healthy and comfortable living environment both parties deserve. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
