It is a letter from Tenant to Landlord containing a notice to landlord to improper notice of a rent increase was given for the month-to-month lease. This notice informs Landlord that according to law the rent increase will not take effect until a date different used by the landlord.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding the recent rent increase notice I received for my residence at [address of the rental property] in El Monte, California. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for providing a comfortable place to call home all these years. However, I was taken aback by the sudden rent increase that was stated in the notice I received on [date]. While I understand that rent hikes are a common occurrence, it is important to adhere to the legal guidelines and provide sufficient notice to tenants beforehand. As an informed tenant, I am aware of the California Civil Code Section 827, which states that landlords must provide at least 30 days' written notice for rent increases of less than 10% of the total rent within a 12-month period. Furthermore, for rent increases exceeding 10%, the notice period should be extended to 60 days. Unfortunately, the notice I received did not abide by these requirements, thus resulting in insufficient notice. This issue has caused great distress and puts me in a challenging situation. While I value the convenience and comfort of this residence, an abrupt rent increase without adequate prior notice poses significant financial strain. The added burden falls heavily on me as a responsible tenant who diligently fulfills all lease obligations and maintains the property in good condition. I kindly request that you reconsider the rent increase and provide the necessary notice as mandated by the California Civil Code. It is my belief that communication and understanding between tenants and landlords are crucial for fostering a harmonious living environment. I am confident that we can find a mutually beneficial solution to this unfortunate situation. In relocating or seeking alternative housing options, I would not only incur additional expenses but also experience unnecessary hardship amidst the current dynamic housing market. I earnestly hope we can address and resolve this issue amicably, allowing me to continue residing in this comfortable and well-maintained property. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I sincerely look forward to an open and productive discussion with you to reach a fair and reasonable resolution. Should you require any further information or need to discuss any related details, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.
