Subject: Urgent Notice to Landlord to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase — Violation of Rent Control Ordinance Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning matter regarding the recent rent increase you imposed on my rental unit. After thorough research and consultation with legal experts, I have discovered that this rent increase violates the Riverside, California Rent Control Ordinance. As you may already be aware, the Riverside, California Rent Control Ordinance was implemented to protect tenants like myself from exorbitant rent hikes. It ensures that rent increases are fair, reasonable, and within the boundaries set by the local regulations. However, the recent rent increase you unilaterally imposed upon me violates these regulations and constitutes a clear violation of the Rent Control Ordinance. I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the improper rent increase and revert my rental amount back to the previous rental price. Failure to comply with this request will leave me with no choice but to take further legal action to enforce my rights under the Rent Control Ordinance. Upon researching, I have found that there are several types of Riverside, California letters from tenants to landlords containing notice to withdraw improper rent increase due to a violation of rent control ordinance. Some of them may include: 1. Informal Notice: This type of letter is typically sent before resorting to legal action, politely informing the landlord of the violation and urging them to withdraw the rent increase voluntarily. 2. Formal Notice: In case the landlord does not respond to the informal notice or refuses to comply, the tenant may escalate the matter by sending a formal notice, stating the specific violation of the Rent Control Ordinance and demanding immediate remedy. 3. Cease and Desist Notice: If the landlord continues to ignore the formal notice, issuing a cease and desist notice becomes necessary. This letter clearly states the intention to take legal action if the landlord persists with the improper rent increase. 4. Legal Notice: As a last resort, the tenant may have to engage the services of a lawyer to draft a legal notice, highlighting the violation, demanding resolution, and conveying the potential consequences the landlord may face if they fail to rectify the situation promptly. I sincerely hope it does not come to that, as I value our positive tenant-landlord relationship. However, I am prepared to take all necessary actions to protect my rights under the Riverside, California Rent Control Ordinance. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [specific timeframe, usually 7-10 days] to confirm your intentions regarding the withdrawal of the improper rent increase. Should you require any additional information or if you mistakenly believe that this rent increase is within the permissible limits, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue amicably. Yours sincerely, [Tenant's Name] [Tenant's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
