[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Demand to Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to bring a serious concern regarding the current conditions of the rental property located at [property address], which I am residing in as a tenant. Despite previous verbal complaints and discussions, the issue of excessive garbage and the presence of vermin has not been addressed appropriately. As per the terms stated in our lease agreement and the Texas Property Code, it is your responsibility as the landlord to maintain the premises in a habitable and safe condition. However, the current state of the property is not only unsanitary but also poses health risks to myself and potentially to other tenants. 1. Garbage Disposal: The accumulation of garbage on the property has reached an unacceptable level. The overflow of trash bins in the common areas, which include empty lots and hallways, creates an environment that is breeding grounds for pests and disease. This violates the basic obligation of maintaining a safe and clean living environment for tenants. Therefore, I demand that immediate action be taken to remove all garbage from the premises and establish proper waste management protocols. 2. Vermin Infestation: Moreover, I have noticed an alarming increase in the presence of vermin, particularly rodents, within the rental property. This infestation not only leads to property damages but also poses serious health risks, such as the spread of diseases and allergies. As a tenant, I have the right to live in a pest-free environment, which extends to the responsibility of the landlord to promptly address and rectify the situation. I demand that you take immediate action to eradicate the vermin infestation and implement effective pest control measures to prevent their recurrence. Furthermore, pursuant to Section [relevant section] of the Texas Property Code, if corrective action is not taken within a reasonable timeframe, I reserve the right to request appropriate legal remedies, which may include the withholding of rent, termination of lease, or filing a complaint with local authorities. I kindly request to be informed, in writing, within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] of the actions you intend to take to address the aforementioned issues. Please be aware that failure to respond or address the problem satisfactorily may compel me to exercise my rights as a tenant as outlined in the lease agreement and applicable laws. I trust that you will treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and take immediate steps to rectify the unsatisfactory living conditions. Communication is key, and I am open to discussing viable solutions to ensure a safe and habitable environment for all tenants. I can be reached at [your contact number] or [your email address] to facilitate further discussion. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
