[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Protest Against Rent Increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the recent rent increase notice that I received for my rental unit at [Address of Rental Unit]. I believe that this rent increase is unjustified and unreasonable, and I kindly request you to reconsider this decision. Furthermore, I have been a loyal and responsible tenant since [Start Date of Tenancy], and during this time, I have fulfilled all of my obligations as outlined in the lease agreement. Throughout my tenancy, I have consistently paid my rent on time and taken great care of the property. Therefore, I was truly surprised and disappointed to receive a notice of a significant rent increase, considering the current economic climate and the overall rental market in Montana. Given the uncertain times we are facing, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted individuals and families financially. The imposed restrictions, job losses, and economic instability have placed an enormous burden on tenants who are striving to make ends meet. The rent increase you have proposed exacerbates this strain, making it even more challenging for hardworking individuals like myself to afford to house in this area. I conducted extensive research to understand the local rental market conditions in Montana. According to reliable sources such as [Local Housing Authority/News Outlet/Relevant Data Organization], the average rental rates in our region have not witnessed a significant increase over the past year due to the aforementioned economic uncertainties. In fact, many landlords have acknowledged the need for compassion and have even frozen or reduced rents to support their tenants during this challenging period. I understand that property expenses may rise over time, but it is crucial to consider the financial difficulties faced by tenants when deciding on rental adjustments, especially during such unprecedented circumstances. I kindly request you to reconsider the proposed rent increase and work towards finding a more reasonable solution that aligns with the current market conditions, ensuring the well-being of your tenants and promoting a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. In light of the above, I am open to discussing alternative options such as a minimal rent increase, a phased increase spread over a longer period, or even a temporary freeze on rent hikes until the situation stabilizes. I value my tenancy at [Address of Rental Unit] and am I willing to engage in constructive dialogue to find a fair resolution that benefits both parties involved. I sincerely hope that you take my concerns into consideration and understand the financial strain imposed by this unexpected rent increase. Furthermore, I urge you to reassess the proposed adjustment and preserve the affordability and stability of my tenancy in the best interest of both parties. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I would appreciate a prompt response, preferably within [mention a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days]. Please feel free to reach me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address] to discuss this further or to address any questions you may have. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
