[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [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 bring to your attention a matter of concern regarding the recent notice of rent increase I received. As a tenant of [property address] in Paterson, New Jersey, I believe there was a significant lack of proper notice given prior to the proposed rent increase, thus warranting clarification and dialogue between us. First and foremost, let me express my gratitude for providing me with a comfortable and well-maintained living space throughout my tenancy. I am fully aware that rent adjustments are sometimes necessary due to various factors such as maintenance costs, inflation, or other economic conditions. However, it is crucial for both parties to abide by the terms stated in the lease agreement and adhere to the statutory requirements set forth by the state of New Jersey. Upon reviewing my lease agreement and researching relevant New Jersey laws, it has come to my attention that landlords are required to provide tenants with a written notice of at least 30 days prior to the expiration of a lease term for any proposed rental increases. Furthermore, if the lease term is month-to-month, the law necessitates a written notice period of at least 30 days prior to the desired effective date of the rent increase. Regrettably, the notice I received on [date of notice] falls significantly short of meeting the aforementioned legal requirements. According to my calculations, the proposed rent increase is slated to take effect within a time frame well below the minimum notice period mandated by law. Therefore, I kindly request that you reconsider the effective date of the rent increase and provide me with an appropriate notice period to evaluate and plan for the adjusted rent amount. In the interest of maintaining a strong landlord-tenant relationship, I believe it would be beneficial for us to resolve this matter amicably and within legal bounds. I am more than willing to discuss and negotiate this rent increase, taking into account factors such as my timely rental payments, my history as a responsible and respectful tenant, and any allowable exemptions or limitations set forth under New Jersey rental laws. I kindly request that you respond to this notice within [specific timeframe, e.g., ten business days] and provide me with a written confirmation stating the revised notice period for the proposed rent increase. In the interim, I will continue to pay the current rent amount until a consensus is reached. I value the peaceful and respectful environment we have fostered thus far and sincerely hope that this issue can be resolved promptly. I appreciate your attention to this matter and eagerly anticipate your response. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
