I am writing to bring to your attention a matter regarding the recent rent increase that was implemented on [date] for the leased property located at [property address]. It has come to my attention that this rent increase may be retaliatory in nature, and I kindly request its immediate withdrawal in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. My tenancy in the aforementioned property commenced on [date], and I have been a responsible and cooperative tenant throughout my tenure. I have consistently paid my rent on time and have diligently adhered to the terms and conditions stipulated in the lease agreement. However, the sudden and substantial increase in rent appears to be directly linked to my recent complaint about [specific issue] and subsequent requests for maintenance and repairs. As per the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Chapter 83, Part II, Section 83.64), it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant by increasing the rent or any other adverse action due to the tenant exercising their legal rights. Such retaliation is deemed a violation of the landlord's obligation to provide habitable premises and to rectify any issues affecting the well-being of the tenant. Therefore, I kindly request that you promptly withdraw the announced retaliatory rent increase. I firmly believe that maintaining a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship is mutually beneficial, and any issues that arise should be addressed in a fair and lawful manner. I have always fulfilled my obligations as a tenant and expect the same level of professionalism and fair treatment from your end. Retaliating against me, as I exercise my legal rights, undermines this relationship and obstructs the essence of goodwill. In light of the above, I kindly request written confirmation within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 business days] that the retaliatory rent increase has been withdrawn. Failure to comply with this request may lead to legal action to protect my rights as a tenant. I would like to reiterate my commitment to maintaining a positive and healthy landlord-tenant relationship. I am confident that you will review this matter seriously and take appropriate action to rectify the situation promptly. Furthermore, I look forward to resolving this matter amicably and continuing our tenancy on favorable terms. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
