[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Demand for Proper Outdoor Garbage Receptacles Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing issue that requires your immediate attention regarding the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles at [your property address]. As a tenant, it is my rightful expectation to have access to appropriate waste disposal facilities in compliance with Newark, New Jersey regulations. This letter serves as a formal demand for the installation of such receptacles in a timely manner. Firstly, I would like to highlight that the absence of proper outdoor garbage receptacles poses a significant inconvenience and potential health hazard to all tenants residing at [your property address]. Currently, there are only insufficient and inadequate trash cans located in random spots throughout the property. As a result, garbage accumulates both indoors and outdoors, making it difficult to maintain a clean and hygienic living environment. Pests and rodents are becoming increasingly prevalent, posing health risks to tenants and potentially attracting further infestations. Under section [relevant municipal code/ordinance, if available] of Newark, New Jersey's regulations for rental properties, it is clearly stated that a landlord is responsible for providing suitable outdoor garbage receptacles for tenants. These receptacles should be durable, easily accessible, and placed in designated areas to ensure consistent waste management practices. To resolve this issue promptly, I kindly request that the following actions be taken: 1. Immediate installation of appropriate outdoor garbage receptacles: Provide durable, lidded trash cans with adequate capacity, ensuring they are easily accessible to all tenants at convenient locations throughout the property. 2. Regular garbage collection schedule: Arrange for regular trash pickup services to ensure the bins are emptied in a timely manner, preventing overflow and potential hygiene issues. 3. Proper labeling: Clearly label the garbage receptacles to differentiate between recyclables, organic waste, and general trash, as per Newark's recycling guidelines. This will promote eco-friendly practices and simplify waste management for all tenants. 4. Maintenance and cleanliness: Regularly inspect the garbage receptacles and promptly address any maintenance or repair issues that may arise to ensure their functionality and longevity. By addressing these concerns promptly and meeting the aforementioned demands, you will not only fulfill your legal obligations as a landlord but also contribute to creating a safe, healthy, and habitable living environment for all tenants at [your property address]. Failure to comply with this demand within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 30 days] may result in my pursuit of further legal action to assert my rights as a tenant. I kindly request a written response acknowledging the receipt of this letter and confirming your commitment to resolving this matter. Please respond within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 5 business days] to avoid any additional inconvenience. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust that we can work together to rectify this situation and ensure a more pleasant living experience for all tenants. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
