Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Urgent Notice: Protesting Unjust Rent Increase in Rhode Island [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my concerns and protest against the recent rent increase proposal for my [apartment/house] located at [property address] in [city], Rhode Island. Firstly, I would like to emphasize my deep appreciation for being fortunate enough to reside in such a well-maintained and convenient location. However, the proposed rent increase of [amount/percentage] that was outlined in the notice dated [date] has left me disheartened and financially burdened. Considering the current economic challenges that many individuals and families are facing, this increase is unwarranted and disproportionate. It surpasses the acceptable limits, ignoring the existing market trends and the general affordability standards within our community. This sudden financial strain may lead to severe consequences for not only me but also other tenants within the premises. I kindly request you to reconsider this rent increase proposal and take into account the following key factors: 1. Fair Market Value: I have conducted thorough research on the current rental market in Rhode Island, and it has become evident that the proposed increase significantly exceeds comparable units' rental prices within our locality. I kindly request you to reconsider and revise the proposed increase to align it more closely with the fair market value. 2. Financial Hardship: The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on the economy, leaving many of us struggling to make ends meet. I believe it is essential to empathize with your tenants' situations and understand that the sudden spike in costs may propel some into financial instability. Your consideration of this hardship would undoubtedly be appreciated by all residents. 3. Maintenance and Repairs: While I acknowledge the importance of property maintenance, it is crucial to note that my [apartment/house] has experienced some long-standing issues that have yet to be addressed satisfactorily. It would be greatly appreciated if these lingering concerns are effectively resolved before any rent increase is implemented. In light of the above considerations, it is my fervent request that you withdraw the proposed rent increase or at least reconsider it to a more reasonable level. Please understand that this letter is not intended as a confrontation but as a plea for fairness, understanding, and an acknowledgment of the current challenging circumstances. I kindly request you to respond to this letter within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days]. If I do not receive a response or an acceptable resolution, I may regrettably be forced to explore other avenues available to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I genuinely hope that we can reach an amicable solution that respects our mutual interests and preserves the harmonious tenant-landlord relationship we have maintained thus far. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
