[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 an ongoing issue in our rental property [property address]—the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles. As a tenant, I have become increasingly concerned about the impact this problem is having on the cleanliness and hygiene of our living space. Therefore, I am requesting your immediate attention and action to rectify this matter. Firstly, I want to emphasize the importance of having proper outdoor garbage receptacles. As residents of Portland, Oregon, we are committed to maintaining a clean and sustainable environment. A crucial aspect of achieving this includes providing adequate garbage disposal facilities to prevent the accumulation of trash, minimize the risk of pests, and preserve the overall appeal of our community. Unfortunately, our current garbage disposal setup is inadequate. The sole trash bin allocated for the entire property is always overflowing, resulting in overflowing trash bags, scattered debris, and an unpleasant smell. This not only compromises our quality of life but also attracts unwanted pests like rodents and insects, posing potential health hazards to residents. In light of this, I kindly request that you address the following demands in a timely manner to enhance our living conditions: 1. Provide Additional Outdoor Garbage Receptacles: Given the size and number of units within our property, it is imperative that you supply supplementary outdoor garbage receptacles. This will effectively accommodate the amount of waste generated by tenants and promote a cleaner living environment. 2. Ensure Regular Waste Collection: It is necessary to establish a consistent schedule for garbage collection services and ensure they are adhered to. This will prevent the buildup of trash, minimize odors, and discourage unwanted pests from infesting the premises. 3. Implement Recycling Facilities: As environmentally conscious residents, we should have access to suitable recycling facilities within the property. By providing separate recycling bins and educating tenants on recycling guidelines, we can effectively reduce our ecological footprint and contribute to Portland's sustainable goals. 4. Adequate Signage: Please install visible and informative signage throughout the property, indicating trash disposal procedures, designated bin areas, and recycling guidelines. This will help promote proper waste management practices among residents and visitors alike. I trust that you understand the urgency and importance of addressing this issue promptly. As a reliable and responsible landlord, I have confidence in your commitment to maintaining a safe and sanitary living environment for all tenants within your property. If I do not hear from you or see improvements made within 14 days of this letter's receipt, I may seek legal advice and explore appropriate further action to ensure our rights as tenants are upheld. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution that will enhance our living conditions and uphold the high standards expected from a reputable landlord.
