Title: Winston-Salemem North Carolina Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding the recent rent increase. I believe the sudden increase in rent comes in response to my previous legitimate complaints about the living conditions in the rental property. As a tenant, I understand my rights and responsibilities, which includes the right to reside in a safe and habitable environment without fear of retaliation for addressing issues that affect my quality of life. I have thoroughly researched the North Carolina Tenant-Landlord laws, particularly Section 42-37, which prohibits landlords from engaging in retaliatory actions, such as imposing rent hikes, in response to tenants exercising their rights. It is with this knowledge that I must hereby request the withdrawal of the retaliatory rent increase. It is important to note that I have been a responsible tenant, engaging in a timely payment of rent and adhering to all the terms and conditions laid out in the lease agreement. Furthermore, my previous complaints were well within my rights as a tenant to ensure a safe and livable dwelling. These issues, if left unaddressed, could escalate further, causing unnecessary hazards and discomfort. I believe it is in both our interests to resolve this matter promptly and amicably. I kindly request you to consider the following points: 1. The rent increase is retaliatory in nature and violates my rights as a tenant under North Carolina Tenant-Landlord laws. 2. The recent complaints I had rightfully brought to your attention are legitimate concerns that need to be addressed for the betterment of the rental property. 3. I am open to reasonable discussion and negotiation to resolve these issues without the need for legal action. 4. Continuing a conducive tenant-landlord relationship is beneficial for both parties, ensuring a well-maintained property and timely rent payments. I trust that you appreciate the importance of fostering a harmonious relationship between tenant and landlord, ultimately leading to a mutually beneficial outcome. I kindly ask you to withdraw the retaliatory rent increase and commit to addressing the concerns raised, thereby ensuring a safe, healthy, and pleasant living environment for all parties involved. Please respond to this letter within [reasonable timeframe] to confirm your receipt and intention in addressing this matter.
