I must assert that such actions contravene the laws and regulations set forth by the State of New York and disregard my rights as a tenant. According to the New York State Real Property Law Section 234, a landlord is prohibited from retaliating against a tenant who reports unsafe or unhealthy living conditions, violation of housing codes, or who engages in any activities protected by the law. These activities include but are not limited to: 1. Requesting necessary repairs and maintenance 2. Filing complaints with relevant housing agencies 3. Participating in tenant associations or organizing other tenant activities 4. Exercising any rights granted by the lease agreement or New York State law Given this protective framework, I request that the retaliatory rent increase be immediately withdrawn. I kindly ask you to reinstate the previous rental amount to maintain the ongoing tenancy in harmony. It is crucial to uphold a positive landlord-tenant relationship and to respect the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved. Please be advised that any continued retaliatory actions or refusal to withdraw the rent increase will leave me with no choice but to seek legal recourse, filing a complaint with the appropriate housing agencies and pursuing any necessary legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and avoid any further disruptions to our landlord-tenant relationship.
