Subject: Urgent Notice to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase — Jurupa Valley, California [Landlord's Name], [Landlord's Address], [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address an urgent matter concerning the recent rent increase I received for my rental unit located at [tenant's address] in Jurupa Valley, California. I believe this rent increase is retaliatory in nature, and I kindly request your immediate attention to rectify this issue. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for providing me with a comfortable living space over the past [duration of tenancy]. I have always upheld my responsibilities as a respected tenant and have maintained the rental unit to the best of my abilities. However, I was both surprised and concerned to receive a rent increase notice dated [date], which states an exorbitant rise in my monthly rental payment. It came to my attention that this rent increase might be in response to my recent requests for necessary repairs and improvements that were long overdue. I believe that retaliatory rent increases, particularly in response to a tenant's reasonable maintenance requests or legitimate complaints, are prohibited by California's tenant protection laws. These retaliatory actions discourage tenants from asserting their rights and can create an unhealthy living environment. Upon reviewing the California Civil Code Section 1942.5, I have become aware that landlords are prohibited from retaliating against tenants who exercise their legal rights, including requesting repairs and improvements that are in accordance with local health and safety codes. In light of the aforementioned legal provisions, I kindly request that you withdraw the retaliatory rent increase notice immediately. I believe it is in both our best interests to maintain a healthy and mutually respectful landlord-tenant relationship. Furthermore, I strongly urge you to prioritize and address the previously reported maintenance issues. As a tenant, it is my right to occupy a safe and well-maintained dwelling. I trust that you will take prompt action to rectify these concerns. If the retaliatory rent increase is not withdrawn within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 14 days] or if the necessary repairs are not completed in a timely manner, I may have no choice but to seek legal recourse under California's tenant protection laws. I sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably, without resorting to further legal actions. However, I am prepared to take all necessary measures to protect my rights as a tenant, should this issue remain unaddressed. Please provide written confirmation of the rent increase withdrawal and a detailed plan for the resolution of the maintenance issues within [reasonable time frame]. If you have any questions or need further clarification on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address]. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue promptly and maintaining a positive landlord-tenant relationship.
