[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Demand for Removal of Garbage and Vermin from Premises Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing issue regarding the condition of the property I am currently renting at [Property Address]. I am deeply concerned about the presence of excess garbage and vermin infestation, which are negatively affecting my health, safety, and overall quality of living. As a tenant, I have the right to inhabit a clean and habitable living environment in accordance with the terms of our lease agreement and state regulations. Unfortunately, the current state of the premises is severely compromising this right. The accumulation of garbage, which includes overflowing trash bins, discarded items, and scattered debris, is not only unsightly but also poses significant health risks. Moreover, the infestation of vermin, such as rats, mice, and insects, is causing further distress and potential damage to the property. To address this issue promptly, I kindly request that you take immediate action to eliminate all excess garbage and eradicate the vermin infestation from the premises. Specifically, I insist on the following actions: 1. Garbage Removal: Arrange for regular trash collection and ensure that the designated trash bins are emptied promptly. Additionally, please implement measures to prevent the accumulation of trash outside the bins and enforce proper waste disposal practices among other tenants. 2. Pest Control: Engage a professional pest control service to thoroughly inspect and treat the entire property, including both the interior and exterior. This should include measures to eliminate vermin, such as rats, mice, cockroaches, termites, or any other pests causing infestation. 3. Repairs and Maintenance: Address any structural issues or entry points that may facilitate vermin entry into the premises, such as gaps in walls, floors, or ceilings. It is essential to seal these openings to prevent future infestations effectively. Given the urgency of this matter, I expect prompt and comprehensive action to rectify the situation within [reasonable time frame; e.g., 14 days] from the date of this letter. Failure to do so may give rise to further escalated actions, such as reporting the issue to local health authorities, seeking legal remedies, or withholding rent until the matter is adequately resolved. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter within [a reasonable time frame; e.g., 5 business days] and provide a written plan of action outlining the steps you will be taking to address these concerns. Additionally, please include an estimated timeline for the completion of the necessary actions. I believe that resolving this issue swiftly will contribute to maintaining a positive landlord-tenant relationship and ensure the continued compliance with lease obligations. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
