Description

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. [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 Retaliatory Rent Increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address an urgent matter pertaining to the recent rent increase notice I received from you. As a tenant residing in [Property Address], I am aware of my rights under Massachusetts law, specifically Chapter 186, Section 18, which safeguards tenants against retaliatory rent increases. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge and appreciate the many positive aspects of our landlord-tenant relationship, including your prompt response to maintenance requests and the overall upkeep of the property. However, the recent rent increase I received shortly after discussing my concerns about the property's condition with you seems to be a direct response to my genuine feedback. Consequently, I strongly believe that this rent increase is retaliatory in nature, which is prohibited by law. To shed light on the issue, I would like to outline the relevant facts and reasons supporting my claim: 1. Timeliness of the Rent Increase: The timing of the rent increase regarding our conversation raises serious concerns as it indicates a direct response to my legitimate concerns as a tenant, suggesting retaliation rather than a necessary adjustment. 2. Property Conditions: As per my previous communications, I have shared my concerns regarding specific issues within the property, which include [list specific issues, such as water leaks, mold, pest infestation, safety hazards, or other maintenance issues]. These issues have negatively affected my living conditions and, as a tenant, I have the right to voice my concerns and expect prompt resolution in accordance with established maintenance standards. 3. Historic Rent Payment Timeliness: It is worth noting that I have always paid my rent on time throughout my tenancy, demonstrating my commitment to fulfilling my responsibilities as a tenant. Thus, any suggestion that this rent increase is necessary due to late payments or delinquency would be unfounded. In light of the above, I kindly request that you withdraw the retaliatory rent increase notice and continue our landlord-tenant relationship on mutually respectful terms. I trust that you will appreciate the gravity of this situation and address my concerns promptly to avoid any escalation or legal complications that both parties would prefer to avoid. Please consider this letter as my formal notice expressing my intent to rectify this issue amicably. It is my hope that we can resolve this matter without any further involvement from regulatory authorities or legal action. I kindly request a response within [specify a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to discuss this matter further and seek a resolution that allows for the continuation of our positive landlord-tenant relationship. If I do not receive a timely response or if my concerns are not satisfactorily addressed, I may have to explore additional legal remedies available to me as a tenant under Massachusetts law. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to resolving this issue respectfully and expeditiously. Sincerely, [Your Name]
