Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: [Your Full Name] Protesting Rent Increase for [Rental Property Address] [Your Full Name] [Your Street Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Full Name] [Landlord's Street Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Landlord's Full Name], RE: PROTEST AGAINST UNREASONABLE RENT INCREASE FOR [RENTAL PROPERTY ADDRESS] I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and strong objection to the recent rent increase notice that I received from your office for the aforementioned rental property. I firmly believe that the proposed rent hike is unjustified, unfair, and burdensome to the tenants who reside within the property. As a long-standing tenant in good standing, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this rental unit, and have always paid my rent on time, abided by the lease terms, and maintained the property with utmost care. It is disheartening to learn that my loyalty as a tenant is not being reciprocated with reasonable rent adjustments. Upon careful examination of the rental market in Louisiana, it is clear that the proposed rent increase far exceeds the average rental rates for properties of similar size, condition, and location in this area. To provide a fair comparison, I have researched and analyzed numerous rental listings, spoken with other tenants in the area, and sought professional advice, all of which indicate that the current rental amount aligns appropriately with market standards. Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to the state laws and regulations concerning rent increases in Louisiana. As stipulated under Louisiana Revised Statute § 9:3252, a landlord is entitled to increase the rent after the expiration of a lease term or according to the terms stated within the lease agreement. However, this increase should be reasonable and must not be exploitative in nature. In light of the above, I request that you reconsider the proposed rent increase or provide a detailed justification for such a significant alteration. It is my belief that a fair and balanced resolution can be reached to ensure that both parties are satisfied. I kindly propose the following alternatives for consideration: 1. Maintain the current rental rate, taking into account my excellent rental history and the prevailing market conditions. 2. Implement a more modest rent increase that aligns with market averages, providing tenants with a reasonable adjustment that respects their financial commitments. 3. Discuss with me any specific improvements or renovations that may warrant a rent increase, allowing me to assess their impact and potentially negotiate a compromise. I trust that you understand my concerns and appreciate the dedication I have shown as a responsible tenant. I am more than willing to engage in open and constructive dialogue to reach a fair resolution. Failure to address these concerns adequately may leave me with no choice but to consider legal action and report the matter to the relevant tenant protection agencies in Louisiana. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and receiving a response within 14 days of the date of this letter. Please note that in the absence of a satisfactory resolution, I may be left with no alternative but to pursue all available legal remedies. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Yours sincerely, [Your Full Name]
