I am writing to bring to your attention a matter concerning the recent rent increase at [property address]. It has come to my attention that the rent increase you have imposed is in clear violation of the Rent Control Ordinance implemented in Sacramento, California.

Withdraw the improper rent increase and revert the rental amount back to its previous lawful rate. 2. Provide written confirmation of the withdrawal and ensure revised lease or rental agreement accurately reflects the correct rental amount. 3. Refrain from imposing any further rent increases until the permissible time frame in accordance with the Rent Control Ordinance has been met. I trust that you will promptly address this matter and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation. I appreciate your swift attention to this issue and anticipate a resolution in a timely manner.
