Greensboro North Carolina Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] 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 of concern regarding the recent rent increase I received for my [apartment/house/property] located at [rental address]. First, I would like to express my appreciation for the overall quality of your management and maintenance services, and I have been satisfied with my tenancy thus far. However, I must bring to your attention that the notice of the rent increase, as stated in my lease agreement, was not provided with sufficient advance notice as required by the laws of North Carolina. According to the North Carolina General Statutes § 42-14, a landlord should provide a tenant with at least 30 days written notice before implementing any changes in the terms of the lease, including rent increases. I have thoroughly reviewed my tenancy agreement, and there is no provision indicating that a shorter notice period can be given for rent increases. Additionally, I have cross-referenced the North Carolina Tenant's Rights Handbook, which further confirms the requirement of a 30-day notice period for rent adjustments. It is crucial for both parties to follow the legal procedures and uphold our responsibilities to maintain a healthy landlord-tenant relationship. With that in mind, I kindly request that you reconsider and revise the rent increase notice, adhering to the appropriate 30-day advance notice as required by law. Please understand that I highly value my residence in this [apartment/house/property]. While I acknowledge the possibility of rent increases, it is imperative that the legally mandated notice period is followed to ensure fair treatment for all involved. I am more than willing to discuss this matter further and find a mutually agreeable solution. In the interest of preserving our good landlord-tenant relationship, I suggest we schedule a meeting or arrange a phone call to address this issue promptly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe that with open communication and mutual understanding, we can resolve this matter in a fair and legal manner. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
