Subject: Concerns Regarding Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase — Bridgeport, Connecticut Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent notice of rent increase that I received for my [Apartment/House] located at [Address] in Bridgeport, Connecticut. While I understand that occasional rent adjustments may be necessary, I believe that the insufficient notice period provided does not align with the appropriate legal requirements or the terms stated in our rental agreement. Firstly, it is crucial to highlight that Connecticut law mandates a minimum notice period for rent increases. According to the General Statutes of Connecticut, Section 47a-15, landlords are required to provide tenants with at least ninety (90) days' written notice prior to the proposed rent increase. In this case, I received the notice only [mention the shorter notice period]. This timeframe fails to adhere to the statutory guidelines and does not provide me with sufficient time to plan my finances or evaluate alternative housing options. Additionally, in our lease agreement signed on [date], it states that any changes in the terms and conditions, including rent adjustments, require a [mention the notice period] notice. This stipulation reinforces the expectation that proper notice should be given when altering the rental amount. By not adhering to this requirement, it seems that the contractual terms and conditions outlined in our agreement are being disregarded. Moreover, I believe that open communication between landlords and tenants is vital for maintaining a healthy landlord-tenant relationship. As I value our past interactions and your commitment to ensuring a comfortable living environment, I kindly request that you reconsider the timeframe for implementing the rent increase. It would greatly assist me if we could discuss this matter further, allowing all parties involved to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I propose that we either adhere to the proper notice period stated in the Connecticut law or, if necessary, extend the notice period stated in our lease agreement. Doing so would enable me to better plan my budget, make informed decisions, and alleviate any potential financial strain associated with an unexpected rent increase. I kindly request a prompt response addressing my concerns and proposing a resolution to this matter before the proposed rent increase date mentioned in the notice. I believe that by addressing this issue amicably, we can foster a positive tenant-landlord relationship and ensure the smooth continuation of our rental agreement. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to your prompt response.
