[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase in Violation of Rent Control Ordinance Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue related to a recent rent increase that I believe is in violation of the rent control ordinance in Tallahassee, Florida. As a tenant residing in one of your properties, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw this improper rent increase and abide by the regulations outlined in the rent control ordinance. It has come to my attention that the rent increase notice I received on [date] does not comply with the guidelines specified in the Tallahassee rent control ordinance, which is designed to protect tenants from unjustifiable rent hikes. According to the ordinance, rent increases must adhere to certain requirements, including providing proper notice, being reasonable and justifiable, and not exceeding the maximum percentage allowed by law. In the case of my recent rent increase, I have identified the following violations of the Tallahassee rent control ordinance: 1. Lack of proper notice: The notice I received did not provide the required advance notice period as specified in the ordinance. According to Section [insert relevant section] of the ordinance, a minimum notice period of [X] days/months is required before implementing a rent increase. 2. Unjustifiable increase: The rent increase amount specified in the notice is significantly higher than what can be justified based on factors outlined in the ordinance. I believe this increase goes beyond the permissible limit mentioned in Section [insert relevant section] of the rent control ordinance. I kindly request that you withdraw the improper rent increase and make the necessary adjustments to ensure compliance with the Tallahassee rent control ordinance. It is my understanding that failure to rectify this situation may result in legal consequences for the landlord, including fines and penalties for violating the rent control regulations. To maintain a healthy landlord-tenant relationship, I propose an amicable resolution to this matter. I kindly request a response within [X] days from the date of this letter confirming your acknowledgment of the violations and your commitment to withdrawing the improper rent increase. Moreover, I would appreciate receiving a revised notice that reflects the appropriate rent amount in accordance with the rent control ordinance. Should you fail to rectify this matter within the specified timeframe, I may be left with no choice but to seek appropriate legal actions to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. I sincerely hope that it doesn't come to that and request your prompt attention to this matter. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I trust that we can resolve this issue as responsible parties and ensure a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
