Subject: Urgent Demand to Remove Garbage and Exterminate Vermin from Rental Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to express my grave concern regarding the unsanitary conditions and growing vermin infestation at the rental property located at [address] in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. As a tenant, it is my right to enjoy a safe and habitable living environment, which is unfortunately not the case presently. To provide an accurate perspective of the issue, I would like to outline the specific problems requiring immediate attention: 1. Accumulation of Garbage and Waste: The property exhibits an unacceptable buildup of garbage and waste materials in various areas. This includes overflowing dumpsters, scattered debris, and decomposing food waste, attracting pests and vermin. The unaddressed garbage poses a significant health hazard, both in terms of attracting dangerous animals and causing foul odors. 2. Vermin Infestation: The presence of vermin, such as rats, mice, or cockroaches, has become increasingly evident within the premises. Not only do these pests compromise my well-being and peace of mind, but they also pose serious health risks by spreading pathogens and causing damage to property. Their activity is particularly apparent in the kitchen, storage areas, and other dark corners. 3. Inadequate Pest Control Measures: Despite previously reporting these concerns to your attention, there has been a lack of effective pest control interventions. These recurring issues suggest a failure on the part of the property management to address and rectify the situation promptly. It is imperative that immediate action be taken to combat the infestation and prevent further complications. 4. Violation of Health and Safety Standards: The unsanitary conditions described above directly violate health and safety standards set forth by local housing and health authorities. I am confident that you understand the importance of maintaining a clean and habitable dwelling not only for my safety but also for the preservation of the property's value and reputation. In light of the urgency and severity of these issues, I kindly request the following actions be taken at the earliest possible convenience: A. Immediate removal of all garbage and waste materials from the premises, ensuring the maintenance of cleanliness and proper waste management going forward. B. Thorough extermination of vermin from the rental property, including professional pest control treatments and sealing off potential entry points to prevent future infestations. C. Implementation of regular pest control measures, as recommended by a licensed professional, to ensure long-term prevention and maintenance. D. A prompt response detailing the specific actions you plan to take within the next 7 days. Please be advised that, should no satisfactory action be taken within the provided timeframe, I will be compelled to seek assistance from local housing authorities, legal counsel, and exercise my right to terminate the lease agreement due to breaches of contract and failure to provide habitable premises. I remain hopeful that you will address these concerns and act responsibly to resolve the situation promptly. I kindly request open communication to keep me informed of the progress made in rectifying these issues. Should you require access to the property to assess or carry out necessary repairs, please inform me in advance to ensure proper coordination. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust we can resolve these concerns amicably and restore a safe and sanitary living environment that aligns with our contractual obligations.
