Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to address an issue regarding the lack of proper outdoor garbage receptacles in our property at [Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, I understand the importance of keeping our living environment clean and hygienic. Firstly, I would like to highlight the inconvenience and potential health hazards that arise from the absence of adequate outdoor garbage receptacles. Currently, we are left with no choice but to leave our garbage bags exposed, attracting rodents, pests, and creating an unsightly and unhygienic situation. This poses a risk to both the tenants' well-being and the overall cleanliness and tidiness of the property. Secondly, it is crucial to mention that this issue is in violation of the Vancouver Washington city regulations and guidelines. According to the city's Solid Waste Guidelines, property owners are required to provide properly designed and maintained garbage containers to ensure waste management and prevent any environmental contamination. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties and damage your reputation as a responsible landlord. Now, in light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to rectify this situation promptly. Here are a few potential solutions to be considered: 1. Installation of outdoor garbage bins: Provide sturdy and animal-proof garbage bins that are appropriate for the size and number of tenants in the building. 2. Increase garbage pickup frequency: Arrange for more regular garbage collection services to prevent the accumulation of trash and maintain a clean environment. 3. Communicate proper garbage disposal guidelines: Distribute guidelines to all tenants on how to properly dispose of their garbage, segregate recyclables, and personal responsibilities when it comes to maintaining cleanliness. 4. Incentivize cleanliness: Offer incentives or rewards for tenants who consistently follow proper waste management practices, encouraging everyone's participation in keeping the surroundings clean. 5. Recycle bins: Alongside general garbage bins, provide separate recycling containers to promote environmentally friendly practices and reduce the overall waste produced. By taking these steps, we can ensure a cleaner and healthier living environment for all tenants. I believe that by investing in the necessary outdoor garbage receptacles and adhering to the city's regulations, we can foster a better sense of community and pride in our property. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and a prompt response outlining your proposed actions or timeline for addressing the issue. Furthermore, I trust that you will take this matter seriously and prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of your tenants. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
