To be more specific, I would like to draw your attention to the following concerns: 1.

These conditions are known to cause respiratory problems and other health issues. 3. Waste Management: The trash bins provided by the property management have not been regularly emptied, resulting in overflowing garbage. This attracts pests and poses a sanitation issue. 4. Maintenance and Repairs: Numerous maintenance issues such as leaking faucets, faulty electrical outlets, and broken windows have not been addressed despite reporting them in a timely manner. This compromises the safety and functionality of the property. 5. Excessive Clutter: The common areas of the property, including hallways and staircases, are cluttered with abandoned furniture and personal belongings. This poses a fire hazard and obstructs emergency exit routes. I understand that you have a responsibility as a landlord to maintain the property in accordance with the lease agreement and local regulations.
