It is a letter from Tenant to Landlord containing a notice to landlord to improper notice of a rent increase was given for the month-to-month lease. This notice informs Landlord that according to law the rent increase will not take effect until a date different used by the landlord.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of concern regarding the recent notice of rent increase that I received from your office. While I understand that periodic rent adjustments are sometimes necessary, I believe that the notice provided does not adhere to the legally required notice period in Overland Park, Kansas. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to reside in your property at [Property Address]. As a responsible tenant, I have always maintained the premises in good order and paid my rent promptly. However, the sudden rent increase without sufficient notice has caught me off guard and poses significant financial implications for me. According to the Overland Park Residential Landlords and Tenants Code, I am aware that landlords are required to provide tenants with a written notice of rent increase at least 30 days prior to the new rental amount taking effect. However, the notice I received was dated [Date], only [Number of Days] days before the proposed increase is set to take effect on [Effective Date]. This shortage of notice has placed me in a difficult situation, as it does not allow me adequate time to evaluate the impact of the increase on my budget, explore alternative housing options, or negotiate an agreeable solution with you. Additionally, it hinders my ability to make informed decisions that align with my personal and financial circumstances. I kindly request that you reconsider the timing of the rent increase and provide the appropriate 30-day notice as required by the local regulations. Doing so would not only demonstrate your commitment to upholding our mutual rights and responsibilities but also allow me the necessary time to adjust my finances accordingly. Furthermore, I would appreciate if you could provide a detailed explanation for the rent increase. Understanding the reasoning behind the adjustment would help me evaluate the fairness of the proposed increase and enable more effective communication between us as landlord and tenant. In the event that the timing of the increase cannot be postponed, I kindly request a meeting to discuss potential alternatives or compromises. I value the current tenancy and believe in maintaining a harmonious tenant-landlord relationship. Perhaps we can negotiate a more gradual increase over a longer period, or explore any extenuating circumstances that may have led to this decision. Finding a solution that benefits both parties would be in our mutual best interest. I appreciate your attention to this matter, and you're understanding of my concerns. In the interest of ensuring a successful tenancy and ongoing cooperation between us, I kindly ask that you review and address this matter at your earliest convenience. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] to arrange a meeting or discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to resolving this matter amicably. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant Address]
