[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase Due to Violation of Rent Control Ordinance Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a tenant residing at [Property Address] in Meridian, Idaho, to bring attention to a recent rent increase that I believe is in violation of the rent control ordinance implemented in Meridian. First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude for being able to rent this property, and it is my intention to maintain a cordial and cooperative relationship with you. However, it has come to my attention that the recent rent increase notice I received does not comply with the guidelines outlined in the Meridian rent control ordinance [specific ordinance or code reference if applicable]. Upon careful review of the ordinance, I have identified certain key violations concerning the rent increase notice that merit immediate attention and correction. These violations include but may not be limited to: 1. Lack of Proper Notice: According to the rent control ordinance, landlords are required to provide tenants with a written notice of the proposed rent increase at least [specific notice period as per ordinance] days in advance. However, the notice I received did not provide sufficient notice as mandated by the ordinance. 2. Excessive Rent Increase: The rent increase proposed in the notice is disproportionately higher than the limits established by the Meridian rent control ordinance. The ordinance clearly stipulates that rent increases cannot exceed [specific percentage or amount] within a specified period [e.g., one year]. 3. Incorrect Method of Calculation: The manner in which the rent increase was calculated appears to deviate from the guidelines provided in the rent control ordinance. The ordinance explicitly outlines the permissible methods of calculating rent increases, which were not adhered to in the notice I received. I kindly request that you withdraw the improper rent increase notice within [enter reasonable timeframe as per ordinance or state law], and adjust the rent in accordance with the limits set by the Meridian rent control ordinance. I believe a fair and reasonable resolution can be achieved that respects both parties' rights and complies with the applicable rental regulations. In the event that you require any further information or clarification regarding the provisions of the rent control ordinance in question, I would be glad to provide you with the necessary references or contact information for the local housing authority. I believe addressing this matter promptly will ensure a smoother tenancy and help us maintain a beneficial landlord-tenant relationship. I look forward to prompt resolution of this matter, and I appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Furthermore, I trust that you will take the necessary steps to correct the rent increase and ensure future compliance with the Meridian rent control ordinance. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please respond in writing within [reasonable timeframe] to confirm the withdrawal of the improper rent increase notice or to discuss further steps for resolution.
