Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of concern regarding the recent rent increase notice that I received from you, which I believe to be retaliatory in nature. Under the provisions of Burbank, California's rental laws, I kindly request that you withdraw the retaliatory rent increase immediately. According to the Burbank Municipal Code Section [relevant section number], a landlord is prohibited from raising the rent or decreasing services within 180 days after a tenant asserts their legal rights, files a complaint, or reports any housing code violations. Based on my understanding of these regulations, it appears that the rent increase notice I received could be seen as a direct response to my recent complaint regarding the maintenance issues in my unit. In my letter dated [date of complaint], I detailed several concerns related to the condition of my apartment, including [list specific issues]. As a responsible and communicative tenant, I have taken the necessary steps to address these concerns with you in writing. Therefore, the timing of the rent increase notice strongly suggests that it may be retaliatory, which is strictly prohibited under Burbank's rental laws. I would like to reiterate that my intention is not to accuse you but rather to bring attention to the potential violation of my rights as a tenant. I believe in maintaining a positive and respectful landlord-tenant relationship, and I hope we can resolve this matter amicably. Furthermore, I kindly request that you reconsider the rent increase notice and revoke it immediately. As a tenant who has faithfully paid rent on time and taken care of the property, I believe this increase is unjustified and unfair, given the current circumstances. Please be aware that failure to withdraw the retaliatory rent increase may compel me to seek legal advice and take further action to protect my rights. I sincerely hope that it does not come to that, as I believe that open communication and cooperation can lead to a mutually beneficial resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
