Subject: Missouri Sample Letter Protesting Rent Increase — Objecting to Unfair Rental Adjustment [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name or Property Management Company's Name] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name or Property Management Company's Name], RE: OBJECTION TO RENTAL INCREASE NOTICE I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my strong objection to the recent notice received, informing me of the proposed rental increase for my premises. As a law-abiding tenant who cherishes the rental community I am part of, I believe it is essential to address my concerns regarding this proposed adjustment. I have been a loyal and responsible tenant for [number of years] at [property address]. During my tenure, I have consistently adhered to all the terms of my lease agreement, promptly paid rent on time, and taken good care of the property entrusted to me. However, the significant increase in rent mentioned in the notice is unreasonable and burdensome to both my personal budget and financial stability. To elucidate my concerns further, I would like to highlight the following points: 1. FAIR MARKET RENT COMPARISON: I have conducted thorough research and comparison of current rental rates for similar properties within the local area. The rental increase stated in the notice exceeds the market value for comparable properties by an unfair margin. 2. FINANCIAL HARDSHIP: The sudden spike in rent would significantly strain my current budget, posing financial hardship and limiting my ability to meet other essential expenses, including basic needs, utilities, and unforeseen emergencies. I kindly request you to consider the potential consequences this increase may have on my overall well-being. 3. EXISTING STANDARD OF LIVING: The proposed rent increase, if implemented, would disrupt my current standard of living, as it limits my ability to allocate funds toward improving the property, saving for future investments, a secure retirement, or pursuing personal endeavors. It is essential to maintain the delicate balance between rental adjustment and the ability to grow and lead a comfortable life. 4. THOROUGH PROPERTY MAINTENANCE: Throughout my tenancy, I have taken great pride in maintaining the property to the best of my ability, ensuring that it remains well-kept and in a pristine condition. My diligent efforts have contributed positively to the overall upkeep of the premises. Therefore, I believe it is only fair to request a reconsideration of the proposed rental increase. Considering the aforementioned points, I kindly implore you to reassess the rental adjustment proposed in the notice, taking into account both the local market standards and the well-being of your long-term tenants. A better understanding of my circumstances and a fair reconsideration would go a long way in preserving a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship, benefiting both parties involved. I kindly request a prompt response regarding this matter, allowing ample time for further discussion, negotiation, or potentially reaching a mutually beneficial agreement. I am open to discussing this matter further and finding a resolution that ensures a fair and just rental adjustment without compromising my financial stability or deterring my commitment to maintaining the property. Thank you for your understanding and attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
