Subject: Urgent Request for Outdoor Garbage Receptacles in Eugene, Oregon Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the lack of appropriate outdoor garbage receptacles in our rental property located in Eugene, Oregon. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial to maintain a clean and sanitary environment for ourselves and our neighbors. Therefore, I kindly request that you promptly address this issue by providing proper outdoor garbage containers. First and foremost, the absence of adequate outdoor garbage receptacles poses a significant problem in terms of waste management. Without dedicated bins or containers, it becomes challenging for tenants to dispose of their trash appropriately. As a result, garbage tends to accumulate in improper areas or in overflowing indoor bins, leading to potential health hazards and unsightly surroundings. Moreover, the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles breaches the local regulations and guidelines established by Eugene's Municipal Code regarding waste management. The City of Eugene mandates that property owners must provide sufficient garbage storage facilities, ensuring that they are of suitable size, maintained in good condition, and easily accessible. By not complying with this legal requirement, our rental property may face penalties or citations from the authorities. In addition to potential legal ramifications, the absence of outdoor garbage receptacles also has adverse effects on our living environment. The odor emitted from piled-up trash often attracts pests such as rodents and insects, compromising the overall quality of our living spaces. This situation not only affects our comfort but also threatens our health and safety as pests can carry diseases and damage the property. To address these issues effectively, I kindly request that you take the following actions: 1. Provide Sufficient Outdoor Garbage Receptacles: Please install appropriate outdoor garbage receptacles within the premises of our rental property. These containers should be properly sized to accommodate the amount of waste generated by tenants and should be equipped with lids to prevent the spread of odors and pests. 2. Regular Maintenance and Collection: Once outdoor garbage receptacles are made available, it is vital to establish a regular maintenance schedule. This includes the removal of garbage from the containers promptly and arranging for regular collection services to prevent overflowing bins and waste accumulation. 3. Communication Regarding Waste Disposal: To ensure a harmonious living environment for all tenants, I suggest distributing an informational notice detailing proper waste disposal practices. This may include guidelines for recycling, composting, and general garbage disposal to encourage responsible behavior among all residents. By addressing these concerns promptly, you will not only enhance the overall living conditions within our rental property but also conform to Eugene's regulations. This proactive approach will undoubtedly contribute to tenant satisfaction and maintenance of a clean, sanitary, and enjoyable living environment for all concerned parties. I kindly request a written response within [specified time frame, e.g., 14 days] acknowledging this matter and outlining your plan to provide proper outdoor garbage receptacles. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within the stipulated time, I may be compelled to seek assistance from local authorities or consider other legal options to ensure compliance with the local regulations. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a prompt resolution.
