I am writing to bring to your attention the unsatisfactory condition of the property I am currently renting from you at [Rental Address], Houston, Texas. As you are aware, it is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that the rented premises are kept in a clean and habitable condition, in accordance with our lease agreement and the state/local laws governing landlord-tenant relationships. Unfortunately, the property has fallen into a state of disrepair, posing some health and safety concerns. Firstly, the exteriors of the property, including the front yard and backyard, are littered with debris, overgrown bushes, and tangled weeds. This not only adversely impacts the overall aesthetics but also attracts pests and rodents, creating a potential health hazard for the tenants. Secondly, the common areas of the building, such as hallways, staircases, and parking lots, have accumulated dirt, trash, and other unsightly substances. These areas require immediate cleaning and proper maintenance to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all residents. Furthermore, the interior of my unit has not been properly maintained. The carpets are stained, and there is a persistent musty odor throughout the property, indicating the presence of mold or other harmful substances. This poses a significant health risk, and I request your immediate attention to resolve this matter. As a result of these unsanitary conditions, my enjoyment of the property has been greatly diminished. It is crucial to act promptly to mitigate these issues to avoid any further damage that may lead to potential legal action. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request that you arrange for a thorough cleaning of the property, both inside and outside, within the next [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] from the receipt of this notice. Additionally, I expect you to take necessary measures to eliminate any health hazards, such as repairing any leaks, improving ventilation, and conducting a mold inspection, if necessary. Failure to address these issues within the specified time frame will leave me with no choice but to consider this a breach of our lease agreement, compelling me to pursue legal remedies available to me. I believe that it is in our best interest to resolve this matter amicably and maintain a healthy and harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. I look forward to your prompt attention and action regarding the mentioned concerns. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter by signing and returning the enclosed copy within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 5 business days]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
