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.
Subject: Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase — Urgent Action Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of great concern regarding the recent rent increase notice I received for my [apartment/house] at [property address] in Hayward, California. I must highlight the fact that the notice provided was insufficient and did not comply with the legally required notice period, which has put me in a difficult position. As a responsible tenant, I understand that rental prices may fluctuate over time due to various factors. However, it is essential that both parties adhere to the terms and regulations set forth by law to ensure a fair and transparent renting experience. Regrettably, the notice I received on [date] failed to comply with the requirements set by the California Civil Code Section 827, which mandates a minimum of 30 days' notice for rent increases. Moreover, I have always maintained a cordial and respectful relationship with both you and the property management team, abiding by all the terms and conditions outlined in our lease agreement. It is, therefore, disappointing to receive a rent increase notice that does not adhere to California's laws, causing undue stress and financial burden on my part. This rent increase notice, which violated the 30-day notice period, has put me in a difficult situation where I am unable to adequately prepare for such an adjustment in my monthly expenses. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is crucial to maintain open and honest communication to ensure the smooth continuation of our rental agreement. I kindly request that you rectify this situation by providing me with a revised notice, in compliance with California law, that allows me the necessary time to evaluate the financial impact of the proposed rent increase and make any necessary adjustments accordingly. Given my proven commitment to timely rental payments and maintaining the property in good condition, I hope you will understand my concerns and address this issue promptly. If necessary, I am willing to discuss reasonable and appropriate rent adjustments that take into consideration market rates, economic conditions, and the value of the property. However, I strongly urge you to ensure a fair and proper notice period, as required by California law, to allow me sufficient time to consider the proposed rent increase and to make informed decisions about my tenancy. I trust that you value our continued mutually beneficial relationship and will take the necessary steps to meet the legal requirements for notifying tenants of rental increases. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. I kindly request a prompt response to this letter within [reasonable timeframe] so that we can address this matter amicably and find a satisfactory resolution. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] Keywords: Hayward California, letter, tenant, landlord, insufficient notice, rent increase, rent increase notice, legally required notice period, California Civil Code Section 827, rental agreement, timely rental payments, fair notice period, revised notice, financial impact, rental adjustments, discussing rent increase, market rates, economic conditions, value of property, amicable resolution.
