Subject: Salt Lake City Utah Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase due to Violation of Rent Control Ordinance [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: 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 to your attention a matter related to my tenancy at [Rental Property Address], within the boundaries of Salt Lake City, Utah. As a responsible tenant and a firm believer in maintaining a fair and legal housing environment, I have recently discovered that your recent rent increase violates the rent control ordinance established within this jurisdiction. According to Salt Lake City's Rent Control Ordinance [cite the specific section, if available], it clearly stipulates the following: [provide the specific clause or provision relevant to your situation]. This ordinance is in place to ensure both tenants and landlords adhere to fair rent practices, thereby fostering a harmonious rental market for all parties involved. Upon careful review of the notice I received on [date of the rent increase notice], it came to my attention that the proposed rent increase exceeds the allowable limits set by the aforementioned ordinance. As a result, I kindly request that you withdraw the improper rent increase and adjust the rent to conform to the legal stipulations as dictated by the Salt Lake City Rent Control Ordinance. I would like to bring to your attention specific details that highlight the violation: 1. The rent increase percentage exceeds the maximum limit allowed by the rent control ordinance. 2. The notice served does not provide a reasonable justification for the rent increase, as required by the ordinance. 3. I have verified the current market rate for similar rental properties in this area, and the proposed rent is significantly higher, indicating a violation. Given the circumstances and the established rent control ordinance, I urge you to reconsider the rent increase and issue an amended notice within [a reasonable time frame, considering your local laws or the allowed response time mentioned in your lease agreement]. Failing to correct this issue within a reasonable timeframe may force me to seek legal assistance and report the violation to the appropriate authorities responsible for enforcing the rent control ordinance. As a responsible tenant, it is my duty to ensure that all parties comply with the relevant laws and regulations. I kindly request that you provide a written response to this letter within [reasonable number of days] confirming your decision to withdraw the rent increase and to bring the rent back to the legal limits set by the Salt Lake City Rent Control Ordinance. Please note that this is not an acknowledgment of any new rental agreement or an acceptance of the improper rent increase. I trust that you will resolve this matter in a timely and amicable manner. Your prompt attention to this issue will be greatly appreciated and will help maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship, as well as ensure compliance with the local rent control regulations. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
