This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Formal Protest Letter Against Proposed Rent Increase in Arkansas [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord/Property Management Company Name] [Landlord/Property Management Company Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord/Property Management Company Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my strong objection to the recent notice I received regarding the proposed rent increase for my residential property located at [Your Address]. I have been a valued tenant in good standing for [length of tenancy] years, and I believe this proposed increase is not justifiable given the current economic circumstances. This increase would cause significant financial burden and hardship for me and may force me to consider alternative housing options. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize that Arkansas law governs the relationship between landlords and tenants, with the aim of providing a fair and balanced approach to both parties. Arkansas Code § 18-17-401 specifically states that "Tenants shall have the right to enjoyment of the premises and to be free from any increase in rent which is unfairly discriminatory." It is my firm belief that the proposed rent increase violates this provision. Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to the current economic climate and the adverse impact it has had on individuals and families. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant financial instability, leaving many Arkansans struggling to make ends meet. Implementing a rent increase at this time would only compound the difficulties faced by tenants, further exacerbating the already fragile situation. I kindly request that you reconsider this rent increase in the spirit of compassion and understanding. I also encourage you to evaluate recent market trends and comparable rental rates in the area. Conducting a thorough analysis would help you realize that the proposed increase exceeds fair market value for similar rental properties in our neighborhood. It is in our mutual interest to maintain a healthy relationship and ensure fair and reasonable rent rates, thereby promoting tenant retention and preserving the value and reputation of the property. I would be more than happy to discuss this matter further and explore alternative solutions that can address any concerns you may have, while still respecting the financial constraints faced by tenants. I firmly believe open communication and collaboration can lead to mutually beneficial outcomes. In conclusion, I strongly urge you to reconsider the proposed rent increase. It is my hope that, through respectful dialogue and the application of fair housing practices, we can reach a satisfactory resolution that benefits both parties. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and the opportunity to discuss this further. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
