Subject: Protesting Rent Increase — [Your Name] [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. I am writing to express great concern and disappointment regarding the recent rent increase notice that I received. As a valued tenant of [Property Address], I feel it is necessary to address the issue and request your reconsideration. I have been a loyal tenant at this property for [number of years], and I am aware that it is common for rents to increase over time due to factors such as inflation and market conditions. However, the proposed increase of [amount or percentage] exceeds reasonable expectations, and it poses a significant burden on my monthly budget. I believe this increase is unfair, unreasonable, and exceeds the rental market standards for similar properties in the area. Given the economic challenges and the impact of the ongoing pandemic, I kindly request that you reconsider this rent increase and adjust it to a more reasonable rate. Enclosed is a detailed analysis of rental rates for comparable properties in this area, highlighting the disparities between your proposed increase and the prevailing market rates. This information demonstrates that the proposed increase not only deviates from the local rental market but poses a financial hardship for me. I would like to emphasize my commitment to maintaining a good relationship with you and my adherence to the terms of the current lease agreement. Throughout my tenancy, I have consistently paid my rent on time and taken great care of the property. I am a responsible tenant and always endeavor to be respectful and considerate to my neighbors and the community. Considering my track record as a reliable tenant and the extenuating circumstances of the current economic climate, I kindly request that you withdraw the proposed rent increase. I strongly urge you to reconsider and maintain the current rental rate, avoiding unnecessary financial strain that may lead to eviction or other unfavorable outcomes for both parties involved. I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request a written response detailing your reconsideration of the rent increase. Furthermore, I believe that open communication and mutual understanding can lead to a resolution that benefits both the landlord and the tenant. Thank you for taking the time to consider my appeal. I look forward to a positive response and continuing our landlord-tenant relationship in the spirit of fairness and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
