This notice regarding Retaliatory Rent Increase, complies with state housing laws and informs Landlord that it is unlawful for a landlord to discriminatorily increase a tenant's rent or decrease services to a tenant, or to bring or threaten to bring an action for possession or other civil action, primarily because the landlord is retaliating against the tenant.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a recent matter regarding the significant rent increase that I received on [date]. Upon reviewing the lease agreement, it has come to my attention that this rent increase may be retaliatory in nature. As a responsible and reliable tenant, I have always paid my rent on time and have taken great care of the property. Consequently, I was quite surprised to receive a rent increase notice, especially considering that I have not violated any terms of the lease or caused any damage to the property. After conducting research and seeking legal counsel, I have become aware of the Savannah Georgia Tenant Protection Act, which prohibits retaliatory rent increases. According to this law, a landlord cannot raise the rent as a response to a tenant exercising their rights, reporting violations, or making complaints about the property. In light of this, I kindly request that you reconsider the rent increase and promptly withdraw the notice. I believe that this increase was levied in response to my previous maintenance requests and concerns I have raised regarding necessary repairs to the property. Please let me reiterate that I value our landlord-tenant relationship and have been more than compliant with my obligations as stated in the lease agreement. It is my hope that we can resolve this matter amicably, without further escalation. To ensure transparency and fair resolution, I have documented all instances of necessary repairs, maintenance requests, receipts, and correspondence involving the property. I am willing to provide this evidence upon your request. I urge you to review the Savannah Georgia Tenant Protection Act and consider the legal implications associated with retaliatory rent increases. It is in both of our best interests to maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship that complies with applicable laws and regulations. I kindly request a response from you within [reasonable timeframe, typically 7-14 days] to acknowledge your receipt of this letter and provide your decision regarding the withdrawal of the rent increase notice. Failure to respond within the given timeframe will leave me with no choice but to seek legal assistance to protect my rights under the Tenant Protection Act. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon and reaching a fair resolution.
