[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter that has recently come to my attention regarding the rent increase notice I received for my [Apartment/House/Unit] located at [Property Address] in Hennepin, Minnesota. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for providing a safe and comfortable place to live over the duration of my tenancy. I have always appreciated your prompt attention to maintenance issues and your professionalism in handling any concerns that have arisen. However, it has come to my attention that the notice of rent increase I received on [Date of Notice] does not comply with the legal requirements set by the Hennepin County regulations and the Minnesota Tenant Rights Act. According to the state law, landlords are obligated to provide tenants with a written notice of rent increase at least 30 days prior to the proposed effective date of the rent change. Upon reviewing the notice provided, I noticed that it was dated [Date on Notice], which is less than the required 30-day notice period. This insufficient notice has placed me at a disadvantage, as it hampers my ability to make informed financial decisions and adequately plan for the increased expenses associated with the rent hike. I kindly request that you rectify this situation promptly by providing a revised notice that complies with the legal requirements. This will allow me sufficient time to evaluate the proposed rent increase and explore any potential alternatives if necessary. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with an explanation for the insufficient notice, as it is essential for me to understand why the notice period was not adhered to. I value our landlord-tenant relationship and believe that open communication and mutual understanding are key to maintaining a harmonious living situation. I look forward to receiving a revised rent increase notice within the prescribed time frame, along with any necessary explanations. Furthermore, I trust that we can resolve this matter amicably and continue to enjoy a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I anticipate hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
