Topeka Kansas Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice to landlord to withdraw improper rent increase during lease [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord’s Name] [Landlord’s Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Withdrawal of Improper Rent Increase Notice during Lease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding the recent rent increase notice I have received for my leased property located at [Rental Property Address]. I believe this rent increase is improper and violates the terms of our existing lease agreement. As you are aware, we entered into a legally binding lease agreement on [Lease Start Date], which clearly outlines the agreed-upon terms and conditions, including the monthly rent amount of [Current Monthly Rent]. This lease agreement is valid until [Lease End Date] as specified in the contract. Upon reviewing the notice provided on [Date received notice], I was taken by surprise at the substantial increase in monthly rent from [Current Monthly Rent] to [Proposed Rent Increase]. This sudden and significant increase not only exceeds the permissible rent increase limit defined by the state and local laws but also goes against our existing lease agreement. I would like to bring to your attention that the Kansas Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (K.S.A. § 58-2501 et seq.) restricts the amount and frequency of rent increases during the lease term. According to the law, rent increases are only permissible after the expiration of the lease term or at renewal unless otherwise agreed upon in writing between both parties. This statute protects the rights of tenants like me from arbitrary and excessive rent hikes. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the improper rent increase notice and honor the terms set forth in our existing lease agreement until its expiration on [Lease End Date]. It is important to maintain the agreed-upon terms and ensure a fair and stable rental environment for both parties. Please consider this letter as my official written notice as required by law, expressing my objection to the improper rent increase notice and my expectation for the withdrawal and correction of the rent amount accordingly. Failure to comply with this request may result in the initiation of legal action to protect my rights as a tenant under Kansas law. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and your cooperation in resolving this issue amicably. Should you have any questions or require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
