Dear [Tenant's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to inform you about a change in the rent for the property you are currently leasing at [Property Address], here in Montana. As your landlord, I strive to maintain the property's quality and meet any necessary expenses associated with its upkeep. After a careful analysis of the local rental market and considering the rise in property taxes, maintenance costs, and other relevant factors, it has become imperative to increase the rent. Starting from [Date of Rent Increase], the monthly rent for the property will be increased from its current rate of [Previous Rent Amount] to [New Rent Amount]. This increase is necessary to continue providing you with a safe, comfortable, and well-maintained living space that meets our mutual expectations. I understand that rent increases can present challenges, and I assure you that this decision was not taken lightly. I have used reliable sources and taken into account the current market to ensure the suggested increase is fair and reasonable for both parties. Furthermore, I highly value your tenancy and the positive relationship we have built over time. Therefore, I am offering you the opportunity to discuss this change further. If you have any concerns or queries regarding the rent increase, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. We can schedule an appointment to discuss the matter and find a solution that works for both parties. Please note that if you choose to accept the rent increase, no further action is required. However, if you decide to terminate the lease agreement due to the increase, I kindly request that you provide written notice at least [Number of Days] days before the new rental amount comes into effect. This will allow me ample time to make necessary arrangements for the property. Once again, I would like to emphasize that this decision is not arbitrary but based on careful consideration of multiple factors. I strive to maintain transparency and open communication between us, and I am confident that we can reach a resolution that prioritizes our mutual interests. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I value you as a tenant and sincerely hope to continue our positive landlord-tenant relationship. Wishing you the best, [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Contact Information]
