Subject: Urgent Request to Address Garbage and Vermin Infestation — [Renters' Names], [Rental Property Address] Dear [Landlord's Name], We hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. We are writing to bring to your immediate attention a pressing matter that requires your prompt resolution. Our rental premises at [Rental Property Address] in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, have been adversely affected by a severe garbage and vermin infestation. We kindly request your immediate attention to resolve this issue, allowing us to maintain a safe and habitable living environment. Over the past few weeks, we have noticed an alarming increase in the presence of both garbage and vermin within the property. The accumulation of garbage is not only unsightly but also poses significant health risks to ourselves and other residents. It attracts a wide range of pests, including rats, cockroaches, and flies, which further compromise our living conditions. We understand that as the landlord, you have a responsibility to ensure the rental property remains in a habitable condition throughout our tenancy. It is implied under the lease agreement, as well as local housing laws in Broken Arrow, that landlords are required to maintain the premises free from vermin infestations and promptly address garbage-related issues. To outline the extent of the situation, we have encountered the following problems directly related to the garbage and vermin infestation: 1. Foul Odors: The pungent stench emanating from the accumulated garbage has permeated our living spaces, making it unbearable to reside in the premises comfortably. This odor not only creates discomfort but also poses health hazards. 2. Possible Structural Damage: Pests, such as rats, can cause serious structural damage by gnawing on electrical wires, wooden structures, insulation, and even plumbing. Such damages may lead to safety hazards, electrical malfunctions, and potentially expensive repairs if not addressed promptly. 3. Health Risks: Pests are notorious carriers of diseases, allergens, and bacteria, endangering our health and well-being. The presence of cockroaches, rats, or flies increases the likelihood of contracting illnesses, triggering allergies, and compromising our overall hygiene standards. With these concerns in mind, we kindly insist that you take immediate action to rectify the situation. We respectfully request the following remedial actions from your end: 1. Garbage Removal: Arrange for a professional waste management service to thoroughly remove and dispose of all accumulated garbage within the property, including communal areas such as hallways, parking lots, and recreational spaces. 2. Pest Control Measures: Engage a certified and reliable pest control company to conduct an extensive examination, treatment, and elimination of all vermin, including rodents, cockroaches, and flies. Additionally, we request that you establish a regular pest control maintenance schedule to prevent future infestations. 3. Repairs and Dealings: Identify and address any structural damages or points of entry that may contribute to the vermin infestation. Prompt repairs, including sealing cracks and gaps, will help prevent pests from reentering the premises. Please be aware that as tenants, we are entitled to a safe and habitable living environment as per our lease agreement and the laws governing property rentals in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Failure to address these concerns within a reasonable timeframe may lead to further legal actions, as it would constitute a breach of your duties as our landlord. We kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide us with a detailed plan of action to rectify the garbage and vermin infestation within the next seven (7) days. We believe this timeframe allows for adequate resolution, ensuring our living conditions are restored to a habitable state promptly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
