[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Notice to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the recent rent increase notice I received on [date]. After careful consideration and review of the current situation, I believe that this rent increase is in direct violation of the Colorado Springs Colorado law regarding retaliatory actions by landlords. Based on my understanding of Colorado law, any increase in rent within 6 months after a tenant engages in protected activities, including but not limited to exercising my rights to report code violations, requesting necessary repairs, organizing with fellow tenants, or filing official complaints, is considered retaliatory and therefore unlawful. I would like to formally request that you withdraw the rent increase notice and reconsider any action taken against me as a direct result of my exercise of tenant rights. It is essential that we maintain an amicable landlord-tenant relationship based on fair treatment and mutual respect. To support my claim, I have attached copies of the relevant communication, including the original notice of rent increase, evidence of the protected activities I have engaged in, and any other relevant documents. This evidence clearly demonstrates that the rent increase is retaliatory and in violation of Colorado Springs Colorado law. I kindly request that you respond to this letter within [reasonable deadline, e.g., 10 business days] to provide your confirmation of withdrawing the rent increase notice. Failure to do so will prompt me to take further action to protect my rights as a tenant, including seeking legal advice and notifying the appropriate housing authorities. I believe that open communication and swift resolution of this matter will be in both of our best interests. I highly value our landlord-tenant relationship and hope we can continue to maintain a positive association. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
