[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Subject: Rental Payment Dispute Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a payment dispute regarding my rental property located at [Rental Address] in Minnesota. I have enclosed copies of all relevant documentation to support my claim. Firstly, I want to clarify that I have been a responsible and punctual tenant throughout my lease term. However, I recently noticed a discrepancy in the monthly rent payment amount for the months of [Month/Year]. The agreed-upon rental amount, as stated in our lease agreement signed on [Date], is $[Amount] per month. Upon reviewing my bank statements and cancelled checks, I have discovered that I consistently paid the correct amount on time. Furthermore, I have attached copies of these bank statements and cancelled checks to substantiate my claim. The total rental payments for the disputed months amount to $[Total Amount]. I kindly request you to review your records and reconcile these discrepancies. In addition, I noticed that the invoices you provided for the disputed months show an increased rental amount of $[Increased Amount], contrary to our signed lease agreement. As per Minnesota's rental laws, the landlord is required to adhere to the stipulated rental amount mentioned in the lease agreement. Consequently, I kindly request a detailed explanation for the unjustified increase in rent and how it complies with the terms we agreed upon. I believe this dispute can be resolved amicably and promptly, without the need for legal action. I propose arranging a meeting or discussing this matter over a phone call to clarify the confusion and reach a mutually agreeable resolution. Please provide me with suitable dates and times, or let me know if you would prefer alternative means of communication. In the event we are unable to reach an agreement, I may have to pursue legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I value our tenant-landlord relationship and hope we can find a satisfactory resolution before reaching that point. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter as soon as possible. I expect to receive a response outlining your position on this matter within ten days from the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe open communication and understanding will lead us to a fair resolution. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
