Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: (Insert Your Name) — Letter of Protest Against Rent Increase [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], RE: PROTEST AGAINST UNREASONABLE RENT INCREASE I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent notice I received from your office, stating an alarming increase in my monthly rental payment for the property located at [Property Address]. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize my commitment to this property and my sincere efforts in being a responsible tenant. Over the past [duration of lease], I have taken great care of the premises, ensuring its cleanliness, maintenance, and prompt payments. I have respected the terms and conditions of our lease agreement, including abiding by all rules and regulations set forth. However, upon receiving the proposed rental increase, I have conducted extensive research and sought advice from various resources to ascertain the fairness and reasonableness of this notice. According to the Georgia Landlord-Tenant Handbook, landlords are obligated to provide tenants with a written notice at least 30 days prior to an increase in rent. I acknowledge that you have adhered to this requirement by providing the required notice period; however, I believe the rent increase imposed is unreasonably high and inconsistent with market standards. After conducting a thorough analysis of the current rental market in the area, considering properties of similar size, quality, and location, I have found that the proposed increase exceeds the average rental rates by an overwhelming margin. In light of this, I kindly request that you reconsider the amount of the increase, ensuring that it aligns more reasonably with the prevailing rates to avoid undue financial burden on your loyal and well-intentioned tenants like myself. I understand that market conditions fluctuate, and it is reasonable to expect rental adjustments; however, it is essential to strike a fair balance between profitability and the well-being of tenants. I genuinely value the property I have called home and would like to continue enjoying its benefits, but an exorbitant increase will place a severe strain on my monthly budget, potentially leading to financial difficulties. Considering the harmonious landlord-tenant relationship we have maintained thus far, I hope we can find a mutually agreeable solution to this situation. I propose that we meet or engage in further communication to discuss alternative options such as a smaller rent increase, phased implementation, or an extension of my lease term at the current rate. I believe that by approaching this matter openly and cooperatively, we can successfully resolve this issue and nurture continued harmony within the property. Furthermore, I kindly request your prompt attention to this matter, as my existing lease agreement expires on [expiry date]. Therefore, I would appreciate your response before [notice period end date]. Thank you for your understanding, consideration, and anticipation of a fair resolution to this matter. I greatly value our positive relationship and sincerely hope we can find a resolution that is mutually beneficial. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
