[Your Full Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Full Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Formal demand to remove garbage and vermin from premises promptly Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the pressing issue of excessive garbage accumulation and vermin infestation on the premises of the property I am currently renting from you located at [Rental Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, I have made several efforts to maintain cleanliness and prevent vermin infestation; however, the severity of the problem has reached an unacceptable level. Given the health hazards and potential property damage caused by these issues, I kindly request that you take immediate action to address and resolve the following concerns: 1. Garbage Removal: a) The garbage collection area is insufficient and unable to accommodate the volume of waste generated by the tenants. It has led to recurrent overflow, attracting pests and causing an unpleasant living environment. b) Garbage bins are not regularly emptied, resulting in a foul odor permeating the premises and increasing the risk of disease transmission. c) It is essential that you promptly arrange for the provision of additional waste receptacles and establish a more efficient garbage removal schedule. 2. Vermin Infestation: a) The property is severely infested with vermin, including rodents, insects, or other pests. This poses serious health risks to the tenants and compromises our well-being. b) The current pest control measures in place have proven ineffective in tackling the issue, warranting the intervention of professional exterminators. c) I request that you arrange for immediate pest control services to mitigate the infestation effectively and protect the health and safety of all occupants. Considering that these issues violate my rights as a tenant and breach the implied warranty of habitability, I kindly demand that the above matters be addressed within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., seven days] of receiving this letter. Failing to do so will leave me no choice but to pursue further legal actions and exercise my rights granted under Washington's landlord-tenant laws. Furthermore, I expect to be reimbursed promptly for any expenses I incur in addressing the garbage and vermin problems as a result of your negligence, as well as a reduction in rent commensurate with the disruption to my enjoyment of the rental premises during the period of the issues. I strongly urge you to take these concerns seriously and prioritize the resolution of these matters promptly. Please acknowledge this letter within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., three days] and provide a written response outlining your proposed course of action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to rectify these issues promptly, ensuring a clean, safe, and habitable living environment for all tenants. Yours sincerely, [Your Full Name] Note: It is advisable to consult with an attorney or legal professional before sending any formal communication to your landlord.
