As a tenant living in Miami Gardens, Florida, I am aware of the rights and protections provided under the laws governing lease agreements and fair housing practices.

Explanation of Retaliatory Rent Increase: I would like to draw your attention to the fact that retaliatory rent increases are explicitly prohibited by both state and federal laws, including the Fair Housing Act. A retaliatory rent increase is one that is imposed on a tenant in response to lawful action taken by the tenant, such as filing a complaint about housing issues, reporting violations, requesting repairs, or joining a tenant organization. These actions are protected under the Miami Gardens, Florida rent stabilization and fair housing laws. 3. Reference to Lease Agreement: As per our signed lease agreement dated [Date], rent increases are subject to prior written notice within a specific timeframe. It is my belief that the increase goes beyond the bounds of what is reasonable and is likely in retaliation for my legitimate actions as a tenant. Given these circumstances, I kindly request that you reconsider this increase and withdraw it promptly. 4. Seeking Resolution and Cooperation: Retaliatory rent increases not only lead to financial burdens for tenants but also discourage reporting of housing-related concerns, thereby undermining the well-being of the community as a whole. As a tenant, I value our harmonious landlord-tenant relationship and would appreciate your cooperation in resolving this matter amicably. 5. Legal Consequences: Should you fail to withdraw the retaliatory rent increase or neglect my concerns, I may have no choice but to seek legal remedies available under both state and federal laws to protect my rights. This may involve contacting the Miami Gardens Housing Authority, filing a complaint with the appropriate agencies, and engaging legal representation to address this issue further. 6. Conclusion: I sincerely hope that we can reach a mutually satisfactory resolution concerning this matter.
