Subject: First Notice — Demand to Clean Up Property Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing concern regarding the current state of the rental property at [property address]. As a tenant, I have observed ongoing issues that require immediate attention and action from your end to maintain the acceptable living conditions outlined in our lease agreement. To begin with, the property's overall cleanliness and upkeep have deteriorated significantly over the past few months. Multiple areas, including the common spaces, hallways, and staircases, have become cluttered with debris, trash, and neglected items, causing an unsightly and potentially hazardous environment. Moreover, the presence of pests, such as rodents and insects, has become increasingly noticeable, posing health risks to the residents. It is crucial to highlight that these concerns not only breach our lease agreement but also violate the New Jersey Landlord-Tenant Act, which mandates landlords to provide habitable premises in a safe and clean condition. As a tenant, I have the right to enjoy a clean and well-maintained living environment, and it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure the property meets these standards. In light of the above, I kindly request that immediate action be taken to address and rectify these issues. I propose the following steps to be taken: 1. Arrange for a thorough cleaning of all common areas, hallways, staircases, and other shared spaces within the property. 2. Conduct a professional pest control inspection and eliminate any infestations promptly. 3. Establish a regular maintenance schedule for the property, ensuring ongoing cleanliness and hygiene. I anticipate that these actions will lead to a pleasant living experience for all residents and uphold the property's reputation within the community. Failure to address these concerns within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] will compel me to seek legal remedies under the New Jersey Landlord-Tenant Act, including the possibility of rent reduction or termination of lease. I believe that open and effective communication between tenants and landlords is key to maintaining a harmonious living environment. I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter, as it will contribute to the overall satisfaction and well-being of all occupants. To ensure a seamless resolution, I encourage you to respond to this notice in writing and outline your plan of action within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 7 days]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution and your support in maintaining a clean and habitable living environment. Yours sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Property Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
