It is a letter from Tenant to Landlord containing a notice to landlord to withdraw improper rent increase due to violation of rent control ordinance. This notice informs Landlord that improper increase of rent may be unlawful.
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 utmost importance regarding the recent rent increase that has been imposed on my rented premises, [property address]. I believe this rent increase is in direct violation of the established Rent Control Ordinance in Las Cruces, New Mexico. As a responsible tenant, I have been aware of the rent control ordinance in our city, which aims to protect tenants from unwarranted and improper increases in rental payments. Under this ordinance, any rent increase must be justified, reasonable, and in compliance with the specific provisions outlined by the local authorities. Based on my recent research and consultation with various authoritative sources, including the Las Cruces Rent Control Board, I have concluded that the rent increase you have implemented is improper and therefore violates the rent control ordinance. I kindly request you to review the following arguments supporting my claim and consider withdrawing the improper rent increase: 1. Rent Control Ordinance Violation: The Las Cruces Rent Control Ordinance, established in [year], clearly states that any rent increase must comply with specific guidelines. According to Section [X], the increase must not exceed a certain percentage (typically around X) within a fixed timeframe (usually X months or X years). Unfortunately, the recent increase in my rent surpasses these limits, putting it in direct violation of the ordinance. 2. Lack of Notification: As emphasized in the ordinance, landlords are obligated to provide tenants with proper notice of any rent increase well in advance. This enables tenants to plan for such changes in their financial circumstances. However, in my case, I was neither given any prior notice nor provided with a written explanation justifying the sudden increase. This lack of notification puts your action in clear violation of the ordinance. 3. Unjustified Increase: While I fully understand that certain expenses may increase over time, the unjustified nature of this increase leads me to believe that it is simply an unnecessary burden on tenants. As outlined in the rent control ordinance, any increase must be based on specific financial justifications, such as inflation, significant improvements to the property, or other factors deemed valid by the Rent Control Board. I have not witnessed any such factors that would warrant such a substantial increase. Given the aforementioned reasons, I am kindly requesting that you immediately withdraw the improper rent increase and revert to the previous rental amount as stated in our original lease agreement. I strongly believe that adhering to the rent control ordinance not only protects the rights of tenants but also maintains a harmonious relationship between tenants and landlords. Failure to address this issue in a timely manner or not complying with the rent control ordinance may prompt me to take further action to protect my rights as a tenant, including filing a formal complaint with the Las Cruces Rent Control Board and seeking legal advice. I trust that you will consider this matter with the utmost seriousness and respond to this letter within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 business days] to ensure a swift resolution. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Contact Information: Address, Phone Number, Email Address] Alternate Titles: 1.
