Description

This notice regarding Retaliatory Rent Increase, complies with state housing laws and informs Landlord that it is unlawful for a landlord to discriminatorily increase a tenant's rent or decrease services to a tenant, or to bring or threaten to bring an action for possession or other civil action, primarily because the landlord is retaliating against the tenant. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Notice to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent rent increase notice I received from you, which I believe to be retaliatory in nature. As a tenant in good standing, I kindly request you to withdraw the proposed rent increase for the following reasons: 1. Retaliatory Nature: It has come to my attention that the rent increase may be a direct result of certain actions I have taken as a tenant. According to the laws of Austin, Texas, retaliatory rent increases are strictly prohibited under Section 92.016(a) of the Texas Property Code. This provision safeguards tenants from any adverse actions or reprisals from landlords due to, among other things, asserting our rights, filing legitimate complaints, joining tenant organizations, or seeking proper redress. 2. History of Good Tenancy: Throughout my tenure as a tenant at [Address], I have consistently abided by the terms of the lease agreement and adhered to all maintenance and property care requirements. There have been no instances of late rent payments, property damage caused by negligence, or disturbances to neighbors, which further reinforces my position as a responsible tenant. 3. Market Rate Analysis: In conducting a comprehensive analysis of the current rental market in Austin, Texas, I have found that the proposed rent increase significantly exceeds fair market rates for similar properties in our neighborhood. Considering this, it becomes apparent that the increase may not be justifiable based on market trends and could instead be attributed to retaliatory motives. Given the aforementioned points, I kindly request that you reconsider and withdraw the proposed rent increase. It is my utmost desire to maintain a positive and mutually-respectful relationship with you as my landlord. By withdrawing the retaliatory rent increase, we can continue to foster a harmonious living environment and resolve any concerns amicably. Should you fail to comply with my request within [reasonable timeframe], I will have no choice but to explore my legal rights and remedies available under Texas property law, which may include filing a complaint with the appropriate authorities or seeking legal representation. However, I hope that this situation can be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, without resorting to these measures. I value our landlord-tenant relationship and remain hopeful that we can work together to address this matter promptly. I look forward to your prompt response and appreciate your attention to this serious concern. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] Alternate Types of Austin Texas Letters from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice to withdraw retaliatory rent increase could include: 1.
