Subject: Urgent Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase During Lease — Vallejo, California 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 a recent rent increase that has been imposed during my ongoing lease agreement for the [property address]. As a responsible tenant, I believe it is essential to bring this issue to your immediate attention and request your cooperation in resolving this discrepancy. First and foremost, let me state that I have been fully complying with the terms and conditions of our lease agreement, including paying my rent on time and maintaining the property in good condition. However, I was surprised to receive a rent increase notice on [date], proposing an improper raise in the monthly rental amount. Vallejo, California, has stringent laws protecting both landlords and tenants, which necessitate that any rent increase adheres to specific guidelines. According to the California Tenant Protection Act of 2019, specifically California Civil Code Section 1947.10, rent increases during a tenant's lease term are prohibited, unless explicitly allowed by the lease agreement or by law. Furthermore, rent increases are limited to a set percentage each year, as determined by the local rent control board or, in the absence of such, by the Rent Stabilization Act. Upon further research and consultation, it has come to my attention that the rent increase notice I received violates these regulations and lacks legal basis. I kindly request that you immediately reverse the proposed rent increase and continue to charge the rent amount stipulated in our existing lease agreement. In order to resolve this matter amicably and avoid any legal complications, I propose the following course of action: 1. Withdraw the rent increase notice: I request that you formally revoke the rent increase notice that was served to me on [date], and confirm in writing that the original rent amount will remain in effect until the lease's expiration. 2. Rectify the billing discrepancies: If any increased rent has already been charged, I kindly request an adjustment to reflect the original agreed-upon rent in my future monthly invoices. Timely resolution and rectification of the billing discrepancies will ensure a smooth continuation of our landlord-tenant relationship. 3. Lease amendment: A lease amendment stating the continuation of the original rental terms until the lease's expiration should be drafted, signed, and provided to me for record-keeping purposes. This amendment will further eliminate any confusion or misunderstanding surrounding the rent increase issue. I trust that you are a fair and considerate landlord, and I am confident that we can resolve this matter promptly. Please understand that I am prepared to take legal action if necessary to enforce my rights as a tenant and protect my interests, as provided by the applicable state laws. I kindly request a response to this letter within [reasonable time frame, typically 7-14 days], confirming your acknowledgement of the withdrawal of the improper rent increase and outlining the steps you will take to address the billing discrepancies. Failure to respond or rectify this matter may leave me with no alternative but to seek legal assistance to enforce my rights. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I believe that by working together, we can resolve this dispute in a mutually beneficial and legal manner.
