I am writing to discuss a matter that has recently come to my attention regarding the rent increase you have imposed on my rental unit at [address of rental unit], which I firmly believe to be in direct violation of the rent control ordinance enforced within the city of Pomona, California. As you may recall, the City of Pomona has a strict rent control ordinance in place to protect tenants like myself from arbitrary and excessive rent hikes. This ordinance is designed to ensure fair and affordable housing within our community, promoting stability and preventing the displacement of long-term residents. However, it has come to my attention that the recent rent increase notice served to me disregards the provisions outlined by the Pomona rent control ordinance. Specifically, I believe that the rent increase exceeds the permissible percentage allowed under the ordinance, making it unjust and improper. I would like to emphasize that as a responsible tenant, I have always fulfilled my obligations outlined in our rental agreement promptly. I have never been in violation of any lease terms, caused any significant damages to the property, or disrupted the peaceful enjoyment of other tenants.

Considering these points, it is my firm belief that the rent increase notice you have served me is not only invalid but also constitutes a breach of the rental agreement we entered into. I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the improper rent increase and adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the Pomona rent control ordinance. Failure to withdraw the improper rent increase within the timeframe stipulated by the ordinance could result in legal action being taken against you. I sincerely hope it does not come to that, as I value the positive landlord-tenant relationship we have fostered. Therefore, I implore you to rectify this matter promptly by providing written confirmation that the improper rent increase has been revoked. To ensure a fair resolution, I suggest we engage in a constructive conversation to clarify any misunderstandings and to address any concerns you may have. I believe such a discussion will be beneficial in resolving this matter amicably while upholding the principles of the Pomona rent control ordinance. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and provide a written response within [reasonable time-frame, usually 5-7 business days] to avoid any further complications.
