[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 During Lease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the recent rent increase that has been imposed on the property I currently rent at [Property Address] in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I believe this rent increase goes against the terms and conditions stated in our lease agreement. Please consider this letter as my formal notice and request to withdraw the improper rent increase. As outlined in our lease agreement dated [Lease Start Date], the monthly rent amount was clearly stated as [Initial Rent Amount]. According to Clause X of the lease agreement, any changes in the rent value can only occur after the lease term has expired or if both parties mutually agree to modify the terms in writing. I have reviewed the lease agreement thoroughly and could not find any provision allowing for a mid-term rent increase without our mutual consent. It has come to my attention that the new rent amount of [New Rent Amount] was implemented in the latest rental invoice dated [Invoice Date]. This increase was not discussed or agreed upon by both parties, therefore making it improper and in violation of our initial lease agreement. I kindly request that you retract the rent increase and adjust all future invoices to reflect the original rental amount in compliance with our lease agreement. I want to assure you that I have been a responsible tenant, fulfilling all my obligations as outlined in our lease agreement. Furthermore, I believe in maintaining a healthy landlord-tenant relationship and addressing any issues in a fair and transparent manner. However, this situation requires immediate attention and resolution. Based on my research and legal advice, it is important to resolve this matter promptly to avoid any potential disputes or misunderstandings. I am prepared to take necessary steps to protect my rights as a tenant if this matter is not resolved within a reasonable timeframe. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable time, e.g., 10 business days] from the date of this letter, confirming your acknowledgment of the improper rent increase and providing a clear plan of action to revert to the original rent amount as stated in the lease agreement. Failure to respond or address this matter adequately may leave me with no choice but to seek legal advice to protect my rights. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in resolving this matter promptly. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
