This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Protesting Unreasonable Rent Increase in South Carolina Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent notice of rent increase for the property located at [Address]. As a responsible and reliable tenant, I have maintained a positive and respectful relationship with you, and I believe it is crucial to bring forth my concerns regarding this significant hike in rent amount. My family and I have resided in this property for [number of years]. Throughout our tenancy, we have always paid the rent on time and taken care of the property as if it were our own. Unfortunately, we are now faced with an unexpected and burdensome rent increase that is not only unfair but also jeopardizes our ability to continue living here. Upon researching South Carolina's landlord-tenant laws and regulations, I have discovered that landlords are required to provide tenants with reasonable notice for any rent increase and ensure the new rent amount is justifiable. According to Section [relevant section number] of the South Carolina Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, a rent increase should be reasonable and reflect any improvements or changes in the property that directly benefit the tenant. I understand that the cost of living increases over time, and as a result, occasional rent adjustments may be necessary. Nonetheless, the proposed rent increase of [amount] per month seems exorbitant and unjustified, given the current condition of the property and the lack of any significant upgrades or improvements that would justify such a substantial raise. I kindly urge you to reconsider this rent increase and provide a more reasonable adjustment that aligns with the guidelines set forth by South Carolina's landlord-tenant laws. I appreciate the value of maintaining a good landlord-tenant relationship and believe that a fair negotiation can be reached to benefit both parties involved. In order to demonstrate our commitment to resolving this matter, I propose scheduling a meeting at a mutually convenient time to discuss the rent increase and explore potential alternatives. I am open to considering reasonable rent adjustments based on market rates and maintaining the property's condition, as well as a longer-term lease arrangement if it assures stability for both parties. I trust that you will consider my concerns seriously and reevaluate the proposed rent increase. Please be aware that as a tenant, I have legal rights and remedies available to address this matter if it remains unresolved. However, I genuinely hope we can come to a fair and amicable resolution without the need for further legal action. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
