Subject: Notice of Protest Against Rent Increase — [Your Name] [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: [Rental Property Address] — Notice of 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 concern and strong objection to the recent notice I received regarding the proposed increase in the rental amount for [Rental Property Address]. I believe that the proposed rent increase is unjustifiable given the existing market conditions, financial circumstances, and the condition of the rental property. As a responsible tenant, it is important for me to evaluate any proposed changes to the terms of my lease and to ensure that they are reasonable. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the proposed increase is neither fair nor equitable. I would like to bring to your attention the following points to support my protest against the rent increase: 1. Current Market Conditions: As you are aware, the rental market has experienced limited growth and increased vacancies. Comparable rental properties within the same vicinity are either maintaining or reducing their rental rates. The significant drop in demand and increased supply make this proposed rent increase unfavorable for tenants. 2. Financial Constraints: In light of the current economic climate, many people, including myself, are experiencing financial challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about job losses, reduced working hours, and uncertain income streams, making it increasingly difficult to meet daily expenses, let alone a sudden and excessive hike in rent. A rent increase at this time would cause undue financial burden and hardship. 3. Property Condition: While renting [Rental Property Address], it has been my experience that certain aspects of the property have not been adequately maintained or repaired, even after repeated requests. Issues such as plumbing leaks, pest infestation, and outdated appliances have persisted, making it difficult to justify any increase in rent without corresponding improvements to the property. Considering the aforementioned factors, I kindly request you to reconsider the proposed rent increase and maintain the current rental amount. I believe it is in both our best interests to foster a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship that upholds fairness and affordability. In the event that you are unwilling to reconsider the rent increase, I would appreciate a detailed breakdown of the basis for this increase, including market research or any other supporting documents that justify the need for such a substantial rise. I remain committed to fulfilling my obligations as a tenant and look forward to working towards a resolution that reflects a fair and reasonable rental arrangement. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Signature] Enclosures: None Keywords: Ohio, sample letter, protest, rent increase, unfair, market conditions, financial constraints, property condition, cooperative relationship, affordability, breakdown, market research, resolution.
