Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. As a tenant of [Property Address] in [City], I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent rent increase notice that I received. I understand that landlords have the right to adjust the rent, but I believe that the proposed increase is unreasonable and unfair. Firstly, I would like to highlight that South Dakota, as a state with a relatively low cost of living, has provided affordable housing options for its residents. This has been a key factor in maintaining the economic well-being of its population. However, the rent increase in question deviates from this tradition and jeopardizes the financial stability of tenants like myself. Moreover, I have diligently maintained the property throughout my tenancy, promptly paying rent and adhering to all lease obligations. In return, I have been able to enjoy a safe and comfortable living environment. Considering my loyalty as a responsible tenant, I believe that an exorbitant rent raise is unfair and does not align with the principles of just and equitable housing practices. Furthermore, it is important to note that I have conducted thorough research and compared the current market rates of other similar properties in our neighborhood. After careful analysis, I have found that the proposed increase exceeds the average rent prices of other comparable units. Such a significant hike is not justified by any objective measure of market demand or property value appreciation. I respectfully request that you reconsider the proposed rent increase. Instead, I propose we explore alternative solutions that can benefit both parties involved. For instance, signing a longer-term lease or discussing possibilities for property improvements that could warrant a justifiable rental adjustment. I kindly request a meeting to discuss these concerns further and find a resolution that is fair for both of us. I believe that open communication and negotiations can lead to a mutually satisfactory outcome, consistent with the principles of equitable landlord-tenant relationships. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I greatly value your understanding and cooperation in this situation. I look forward to hearing from you soon and finding a resolution that maintains our positive tenant-landlord relationship. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
