Raccoon Infestation Legal Action
Summary
If a landlord fails to address a raccoon infestation in a rental property, tenants may consider legal action for breach of contract. Immediate professional cleaning and pest removal are essential to mitigate health risks, especially if there are vulnerable individuals involved. Tenants can pursue rent escrow or court action if the issue remains unresolved. Consulting with an attorney can provide guidance on the best course of action to ensure tenant rights and safety are upheld.Full Conversation
Please draft a letter regarding Raccoons keep coming back, because that's their home. They only come to the attic, it must be cleaned. When M saw the racoon scat so close to her window, she was very concerned because her son has * kidney. M has left messages and sent information (over a week now).
Advd that next step is probably not another letter (as she asked for in the em), OP did not complete all the work as requested in the letter. Advd M to do rent escrow or court action.
b1 letter stating that Racoons will continue entering and damaging the property until it is cleaned and secured.
M poisoned mice. But her poison is constantly gone, so either there is a mice infestation or the racoons are eating the pellets. M works nights. Must be a professional company to properly deal with bacteria and animal removal.
Here's a draft of the letter you requested:

Re: Urgent Need for Professional Cleaning and Raccoon Removal
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing raccoon infestation in the attic of my rental property at [Property Address]. Despite multiple messages and information sent over a week ago, there has been no adequate response or action taken to address the issue.
The raccoons continue to enter and damage the property, and their presence poses a significant health risk. I have observed raccoon scat dangerously close to my window, which is particularly concerning given my son's medical condition of having only one kidney. Moreover, the poison I placed for mice is consistently disappearing, suggesting either a severe mice infestation or that the raccoons are consuming the poison.
Given the severity of the situation and the health hazards involved, it is imperative that a professional company be hired immediately to clean the attic and remove the animals. This must be done to properlydeal with bacteria and ensure the complete removal of any pests.
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action for breach of contract and consider entering a rent escrow or court action. This situation is untenable and requires immediate attention to safeguard the health and safety of my family.
Please address this concern urgently.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Re: Urgent Need for Professional Cleaning and Raccoon Removal
I represent [Your Name], the tenant of the property located at [Property Address]. My client has informed me of an ongoing raccoon infestation in the attic, which poses significant health risks, particularly to her son, who has a serious medical condition.
Despite multiple attempts to contact you over the past week, there has been no adequate response or action taken. The presence of raccoon feces near the living areas and the disappearance of poison suggests a severe infestation problem that requires professional intervention.
Immediate steps must be taken to hire a professional company to clean the attic and remove the raccoons, addressing both the bacteria and the pests. Failure to act promptly will result in legal action for breach of contract, and we will consider rent escrow or other court actions to rectify this serious issue.
Please address this matter urgently to safeguard the health and safety of my client and her family.
