[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase Due to Violation of Rent Control Ordinance Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to a matter regarding an improper rent increase I have recently received, which I believe violates the rent control ordinance of Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Firstly, it is important to note that according to the Allegheny rent control ordinance [cite the specific section or code if available], landlords are prohibited from implementing rent increases that exceed the permissible limits set by the local authorities. Upon reviewing my rent statements, I have noticed that the recent rent increase imposed on [date of increase] exceeds the maximum permissible rental amount as defined by the aforementioned ordinance. As a responsible and informed tenant, I have thoroughly researched the Allegheny rent control regulations and have affirmed that your rent increase violates these guidelines. According to the ordinance, any rent increase beyond the permissible limits renders the increase null and void. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the recent rent increase and adjust my rent amount back to the legally permissible rate as defined by the prevailing rent control regulations. Failure to comply with the rent control ordinance could result in legal consequences and potential penalties imposed by the relevant authorities. I am confident that you value our landlord-tenant relationship and are committed to upholding the laws and regulations that protect tenants' rights in Allegheny. I kindly request a prompt response within [provide a reasonable time frame, such as 14 days] from the receipt of this letter. Please provide a written acknowledgment that you will withdraw the recent rent increase and adjust my rent to the lawful amount to avoid any further escalation of this matter. In the event that you fail to rectify this violation, I may be forced to seek legal remedies available to me under the Allegheny rent control ordinance, including filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities and pursuing legal action to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. I believe that a mutual understanding and prompt resolution of this matter would be in both our best interests. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to rectify this issue promptly and in accordance with the law. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving your written response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
