[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 during Lease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention the recent rent increase notice I received for my rental property located at [Property Address] in Jacksonville, Florida. I would like to assert my rights as a tenant and formally request the withdrawal of this improper rent increase during the term of my lease. First and foremost, I would like to highlight that the rent increase notification provided does not comply with the terms outlined in our lease agreement signed on [Lease Start Date]. As per the lease, the monthly rental amount was agreed upon to be [Current Monthly Rent]. The recent increase in rent to [Proposed Increased Monthly Rent] violates the agreed-upon terms and seems to be inconsistent with the current market rates in this locality. Additionally, it is important to note that Florida law provides certain rights and protections to tenants, and a landlord must adhere to these regulations when proposing any rent increase. The Florida Statutes, specifically Chapter 83, outlines the landlord's obligations, including providing proper notice and reasonable justifications for any rent adjustments during an active lease term. I would like to emphasize that the proposed rent increase is unreasonable and unjustified. I have conducted thorough research on the current rental market in this area, and it is evident that the prescribed increase exceeds the fair market value for comparable properties in the neighborhood. Therefore, I kindly request that you reconsider and rescind the rent increase to align it with the market rates or adhere to the terms stipulated in the lease agreement. To resolve this matter promptly and amicably, I propose the following options: 1. Maintain the rental amount at the current rate as stated in the lease agreement. 2. If a modest increase is still desired, I suggest a revised proposal that is reasonable and takes into consideration the fair market value of comparable properties in the area. 3. Alternatively, I am open to discussing any concerns or issues that have led to the proposed rent increase, with the hope of finding a mutually agreeable solution. I would appreciate a written response from you within [reasonable time frame] confirming the withdrawal of the improper rent increase or providing a detailed explanation justifying the proposed increase. Failure to respond or address this matter in a timely manner may result in my seeking further legal advice and exploring available remedies under the law. Please consider this letter as a formal notice of my position on the rent increase and a good-faith effort to resolve this matter. I value the positive tenant-landlord relationship we have established thus far, and I hope we can find a fair resolution to this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I anticipate your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
