--- Provo Utah Letter from Tenant to Landlord with Demand: Remove Garbage and Vermin from Premises --- [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: DEMAND TO REMOVE GARBAGE AND VERMIN FROM PREMISES I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unacceptable conditions of the rental property located at [Property Address] that I am currently occupying as a tenant. Despite numerous previous requests, the persistent issues of excessive garbage accumulation and infestation of vermin continue to plague the premises, posing health hazards and significantly affecting my quality of life. 1. Garbage Issue: The accumulation of garbage on the property has reached intolerable levels. I have observed overflowing trash bins, scattered debris, and waste materials strewn across common areas and my assigned parking space. This unchecked waste not only emits foul odors but also attracts pests, exacerbating the vermin problem we are facing. The garbage should be promptly removed and proper waste management protocols implemented to maintain a clean and habitable living environment. 2. Vermin Infestation: To my extreme dismay, the rental unit remains infested with vermin, particularly rats and cockroaches. Despite my personal efforts to maintain cleanliness and adhere to the highest hygienic standards, these pests persistently invade the premises, causing damage to personal belongings and potential health risks. It is imperative that immediate actions are taken to eliminate the vermin and implement preventive measures to prevent future infestations. I would like to remind you of the landlord's legal obligation to provide tenants with a safe and habitable living environment under the implied warranty of habitability. The conditions outlined above not only breach this duty but also violate local health and safety regulations. As a responsible tenant, I have fulfilled my obligations concerning rent payments and maintaining the premises to the best of my ability. It is only fair that you fulfill your duty by rectifying these issues expediently. I hereby demand that you promptly take the following actions: 1. Arrange for a professional and licensed pest control service to inspect the premises, address the vermin infestation comprehensively, and implement preventive measures to ensure their eradication. 2. Organize for a specialized waste management service to remove all accumulated garbage from the premises, and implement a regular collection schedule to prevent further excessive waste buildup. 3. Provide written documentation outlining the specific actions taken, including the names and contact details of the hired contractors, along with proposed timelines for resolution. Please be aware that failing to address these critical issues within a reasonable timeframe may compel me to seek legal remedies and notify the appropriate health and housing authorities regarding the violations occurring on the property. I trust that you will treat this matter with the utmost seriousness and urgency. I look forward to receiving your written response within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days] to confirm your immediate actions to remedy these problems. You may contact me through the provided contact details at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your prompt attention to these matters.
