[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 Improper Rent Increase due to Violation of Rent Control Ordinance Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter of immediate concern regarding the recent rent increase notice I received. As a tenant residing in St. Petersburg, Florida, I am aware of the applicable rent control ordinance, which governs the legal parameters for rent increases within our local area. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that the rent increase notification I received violates the St. Petersburg rent control ordinance, specifically [mention the specific violation(s) or relevant section(s) of the ordinance]. This violation renders the rent increase unjustified and improper. According to the St. Petersburg rent control ordinance, any rent increase should adhere to the specified guidelines, such as a maximum percentage increase per year or specific conditions that must be met for an increase to be considered legal. By not complying with the stipulations outlined in the ordinance, the rent increase notice you provided is invalid and must be retracted. I kindly request that you reconsider the rent increase and withdraw it, bringing the rent back to its previous lawful amount. Failure to address this violation promptly may force me to seek legal remedies to protect my rights as a tenant, which I believe neither of us would desire. I suggest we resolve this matter amicably and avoid any unnecessary escalation or potential legal actions. I trust that you will respect my rights as a tenant and take immediate action to rectify this situation. Please be aware that I fully intend on documenting all correspondences and actions taken regarding this issue for future reference, if necessary. I look forward to receiving your response within [mention a reasonable timeframe, typically 7-14 days] and hope that we can resolve this matter cooperatively. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
