Description

It is a letter from Tenant to Landlord containing a notice to landlord to withdraw improper rent increase due to violation of rent control ordinance. This notice informs Landlord that improper increase of rent may be unlawful. Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter to bring to your attention an issue regarding the recent rent increase you have imposed on the rental property located at [Property Address] in Palm Bay, Florida. As a diligent tenant and observant of the local regulations, I have come to discover that the rent increase violates the rent control ordinance set in place by the Palm Bay authorities. According to the Palm Bay rent control ordinance, landlords are required to comply with specific guidelines when implementing rent increases. These guidelines are put in place to prevent arbitrary and excessive rent hikes, which may lead to financial burdens for tenants. Unfortunately, the rent increase notice you provided fails to meet the requirements outlined in the ordinance, making it improper and noncompliant. I would like to draw your attention to the specific violations of the rent control ordinance: 1. Failure to Provide Adequate Notice: The Palm Bay rent control ordinance specifies that landlords must provide tenants with at least [number of days] days' notice before implementing any rent increase. However, the notice you provided was issued [number of days] days prior to the proposed rent increase, which does not meet the minimum requirement. 2. Rent Increase Percentage Exceeds Allowable Limit: According to the rent control ordinance, rent increases cannot exceed [percentage limit] of the current rent amount within a given time period. Upon careful calculation, I have determined that the proposed rent increase exceeds this allowable limit, making it in violation of the rent control ordinance. 3. Lack of Justification for Rent Increase: The rent control ordinance also requires landlords to provide a valid justification for any proposed rent increase. In the notice you provided, there was no mention of the reasons behind the increase, leaving me uncertain about the circumstances that led to this decision. In light of these violations, I kindly request that you withdraw the improper rent increase and bring the rent amount back to its previous level within [number of days] days from the date of this letter. I believe it is important for both parties to adhere to the local laws and regulations to maintain a fair and mutually beneficial landlord-tenant relationship. Failure to comply with this request may result in me seeking further assistance from the appropriate authorities to protect my rights as a tenant under the Palm Bay rent control ordinance. I genuinely hope we can resolve this matter amicably and continue our positive landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Tenant's Name]
