[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Protest against Rent Increase at [Address/Property] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the recent notice of rent increase for my apartment at [Address/Property] in Houston, Texas. As a long-term tenant who has consistently fulfilled all rental obligations and maintained the property in excellent condition, I feel compelled to voice my objections. Firstly, I would like to highlight the impact of this rent increase on my personal finances. The proposed increase of [Percentage/Amount] represents a significant burden for me and will make it increasingly difficult to afford necessities while meeting my rental obligations. Considering the current economic conditions and uncertainties brought about by the ongoing pandemic, such an increase would only exacerbate the financial hardship many individuals, including myself, are already facing. Furthermore, it is important to note that the rental market in Houston, Texas, has not witnessed a substantial increase in demand or growth that could justify such a drastic rent raise. According to [Relevant Statistical Data/Source], the local rental market remains relatively stagnant, with only minimal fluctuations observed in recent years. In light of this, I fail to understand the basis for the proposed increase and believe it to be unjustified and unreasonable. Additionally, I have always been a responsible tenant, ensuring prompt rent payment and diligently maintaining the property. I have never been involved in any lease violations, have promptly reported any maintenance issues when necessary, and have treated the property with utmost care. Considering my positive track record, I believe it is only fair that my loyalty and commitment be acknowledged by maintaining a reasonable rental price, in line with current market conditions. In light of the aforementioned points, I kindly request that you reconsider the proposed rent increase at [Address/Property]. It is my sincere hope that we may engage in a meaningful dialogue to find an equitable resolution that respects the financial concerns of the tenant while acknowledging the landlord's goals as well. I kindly ask for a written response within [reasonable timeframe, such as 10 business days] to let me know your decision regarding this matter. I hope we can resolve this issue amicably without resorting to legal actions or seeking alternative housing options. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
