I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding the sudden increase in rent, which I believe is a retaliatory action taken against me for asserting my rights as a tenant. Kindly consider this my formal notice demanding the immediate withdrawal of this unfair rent increase. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize my commitment to being a responsible tenant throughout my stay at the mentioned property. I have consistently paid my rent on time and adhered to all terms outlined in the lease agreement. Consequently, I was shocked to receive the notification of a rent increase issued on [date]. Given the timing of this increase, I am compelled to believe that it is in response to my recent complaints about specific issues within the property. According to the State of Michigan's Landlord and Tenant Relationship Act, retaliatory rent increases are strictly prohibited. The act ensures that landlords cannot enforce such changes to retaliate against tenants who exercise their legal rights or assert their concerns related to habitability or other issues. Moreover, it is outlined in [specific clause of the lease or relevant Michigan regulations] that retaliatory rent increases are explicitly disallowed. To provide clarity on my claim of retaliation, I want to highlight the following issues I expressly communicated to you prior to receiving the rent increase notice: 1.

The retaliatory rent increase poses a significant financial burden on me, compromising my ability to maintain a stable living situation within the premises. Given the circumstances, I kindly request that you immediately rescind the rent increase notice, as it stands in direct violation of landlord-tenant laws and the lease agreement. Failure to comply with this notice may result in further legal action on my part to protect my rights and seek appropriate remedies available under the law. I sincerely hope that we can find a resolution to this matter without the need for additional escalation.
