[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand for Immediate Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the persistent presence of garbage and vermin on the premises of [Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to ensure a habitable and sanitary living environment for myself and other residents. My intention is to bring this issue to your attention in a formal manner to request your immediate intervention and resolution. The presence of garbage and vermin not only poses health hazards but also adversely affects the overall quality of life within the rental property. This situation requires urgent attention, and I kindly urge you to take immediate action to rectify this problem. Specifically, I would like to address the following issues: 1. Garbage Removal: The communal areas such as the parking lot, walkways, and dumpsters have been consistently overflowing with garbage for an extended period. The accumulation of garbage creates an unsightly environment that not only attracts vermin but may also contribute to the spread of disease. Prompt and regular garbage removal is imperative to maintain the cleanliness and safety of our living space. 2. Vermin Infestation: In recent months, there has been a noticeable increase in vermin sightings within the premises, specifically rats and cockroaches. This situation is highly distressing, and it is crucial that immediate measures are taken to eradicate the pests and prevent their reinfestation. Failure to address this issue promptly may lead to an escalation of the problem, causing further inconvenience and potential property damage. To resolve these problems effectively, I kindly request the following actions be taken: 1. Engage Professional Services: Hire a professional pest control company to perform a thorough inspection of the property, identify the source of infestation, and implement appropriate measures to eliminate the vermin problem entirely. 2. Regular Garbage Collection: Ensure that a reliable and timely garbage collection service is in place, with an adequate number of appropriately sized dumpsters to accommodate the needs of all residents. Implement a schedule to regularly empty the garbage receptacles to prevent overflow and subsequent pest attraction. 3. Maintenance and Repairs: Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the property's structural integrity, including sealing any gaps or openings that may serve as entry points for vermin. Additionally, repair any plumbing or other infrastructure issues that may contribute to the problem. 4. Communication and Follow-up: Keep tenants regularly informed about the progress made in resolving these issues to foster transparency and maintain trust. Once the initial steps have been taken, commitment to ongoing preventative maintenance is vital to ensure a long-term solution. Failure to address these concerns within a reasonable timeframe may leave me with no choice but to escalate the matter to the appropriate municipal authorities and seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant. I trust that you understand the urgency of this matter and will prioritize the health, safety, and comfort of your tenants. I kindly request a prompt response detailing the action plan to address the issues mentioned above. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to a swift resolution, ensuring a clean, safe, and habitable living environment. Sincerely, [Your Name]
