Subject: Notice to Landlord to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase — Urgent Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent rent increase I received for [property address] in Miramar, Florida. After careful consideration and consultation with legal advisors, I have concluded that the rent increase appears to be an act of retaliation, which is prohibited under Florida law. I would like to bring to your attention the following issues and request that you reconsider the rent increase: 1. Retaliatory Conduct: As per Florida Statutes Section [provide statute number], it is illegal for a landlord to increase rent or take any other negative action against a tenant in response to the tenant exercising their legal rights. I believe that the rent increase in question is a direct result of my legitimate actions, such as reporting maintenance issues, requesting repairs, or exercising my rights as a tenant in any way. 2. Timelines and Evidence: The rent increase came shortly after my complaint was filed [mention date]. This seems to be more than a mere coincidence, and I have gathered ample evidence to substantiate my claim of retaliatory conduct. I have detailed records of correspondence, photographs, emails, and witness statements, which support my belief that the rent increase is a direct response to my actions. 3. Legal Consequences: Retaliatory actions by landlords undermine the fundamental tenant-landlord relationship and can result in serious legal repercussions. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I may have no choice but to file a complaint with the relevant housing authorities and seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant under Florida law. Considering the above, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the retaliatory rent increase and restore my rent to its previous amount. Collaboration in resolving this matter amicably would be beneficial for both parties involved and help maintain a positive relationship between us. Please be aware that I am more than willing to engage in open and constructive dialogue to find a mutually acceptable solution. However, if my concerns are not addressed within a reasonable timeframe (generally 14 days from the date of this letter), I will have no option but to take further action to safeguard my rights. I hope that we can resolve this matter without escalating it any further. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me via phone at [your contact number] or email at [your email address]. I look forward to your prompt response and a swift resolution to this matter. Yours sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]
