[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] 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 express my concerns regarding the recent rent increase I received for my leased premises at [Property Address]. Upon thorough research and consultation with legal advisors, it has come to my attention that the rent increase imposed upon me violates the rent control ordinance set forth by the City of Bellevue, Washington. As you may be aware, Bellevue has implemented a robust rent control ordinance to protect tenants from unjustified rent hikes and ensure affordable housing options within the community. The rent control ordinance states that rent increases must be within the permissible limits set by the municipality. Upon reviewing the rental history of my unit, it is evident that the recent rent increase exceeds the allowable limit outlined by the Bellevue rent control ordinance. This puts you, as the landlord, in direct violation of the regulations set forth by the city. I kindly request that you reconsider and withdraw the improper rent increase immediately. According to the rent control ordinance, any rent increases in violation must be nullified, and the tenant is entitled to pay the previous lawful rent amount until a proper rent increase is established, which adheres to the permissible limits stipulated by the City of Bellevue. I urge you to review the rent increase in question and rectify this matter promptly. Failure to do so not only exposes you to potential legal consequences but also jeopardizes the integrity of our landlord-tenant relationship. To avoid any further complications, I kindly request a written response within [number of days, typically 14 days] either confirming the withdrawal of the improper rent increase or providing a justifiable explanation for the deviation from the rent control ordinance. Failure to respond will leave me no choice but to take the necessary legal steps to protect my rights as a tenant. Please note that I have taken the liberty of seeking legal advice regarding this matter, and I am prepared to escalate this issue if necessary. I believe that open communication and swift resolution can resolve this matter amicably without resorting to legal action. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will address my concerns promptly and appropriately to ensure our compliance with the Bellevue rent control ordinance. I look forward to receiving your timely response.
