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. I am writing to bring to your attention a payment dispute regarding the rental property located at [address]. I have recently encountered an issue with the rental payment for the month of [month], and I believe it is necessary to address the situation promptly in order to maintain a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. The issue arises from a discrepancy in the amount I have been charged for rent. According to my records, the agreed-upon monthly rent amount is [rent amount]. However, in the past month, I received a notice indicating an increased rent of [new rent amount]. This sudden increase has taken me by surprise and has put me into a perplexing financial situation. As a diligent tenant, I have always fulfilled my obligations by paying rent on time and in full. I strongly believe that any rent increase should be communicated and agreed upon beforehand, allowing both parties to plan their finances accordingly. Regrettably, this has not been the case with the recent incident. In order to resolve this matter promptly and ensure a fair resolution, I kindly request your cooperation in the following steps: 1. Clarification of the Rent Increase: Provide me with a detailed explanation for the sudden rent increase and any documentation supporting the validity of the said increase. It would be beneficial to understand the factors that have contributed to this rise and verify if it aligns with local rental regulations. 2. Reviewing the Lease Agreement: Assess the terms and conditions stated in our lease agreement and verify if it allows for mid-tenancy rent adjustments without prior communication to the tenant. If the lease agreement does not grant such provisions, I request that the rent increase be reconsidered to align with the agreed-upon terms. 3. Negotiation and Revised Payment Plan: If the rent increase is determined to be valid, I propose discussing a reasonable and mutually beneficial payment plan, considering my financial situation and the impacts of COVID-19 on various sectors of the economy, including my own. 4. Mediation or Legal Intervention: Should we not reach a satisfactory resolution through our direct communication, I may have to seek professional mediation or legal intervention. However, I strongly believe that open dialogue and cooperation can lead to an amicable solution without the need for extensive legal involvement. I value our relationship as a landlord and tenant and hope this matter can be resolved promptly and amicably. I kindly request a response within [reasonable time frame]. Please feel free to reach out to me at [phone number] or [email] to discuss this further or provide any additional information required. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name]
