[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase due to Violation of Rent Control Ordinance Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring your attention to a significant issue concerning the recent rent increase I received for the [rental property address]. As a tenant residing in Sandy Springs, Georgia, I wish to inform you that this rent increase appears to be in violation of the Rent Control Ordinance applicable to this jurisdiction. According to the Sandy Springs Rent Control Ordinance, it is prohibited to impose improper rent increases without valid justification or in breach of the established guidelines. I have thoroughly reviewed the ordinance and believe that the rent increase imposed, which raises my monthly rent from [previous rent amount] to [new rent amount], violates the regulations set forth. The specific violations that I have identified are as follows: 1. Failure to provide sufficient notice: The Sandy Springs Rent Control Ordinance explicitly states that landlords must provide tenants with a written notice of any rent increase at least [number of days as per local regulations] days prior to the effective date of the increase. I did not receive any written notice regarding the proposed rent increase, and thus, I question the validity of the increase. 2. Exceeding the allowable percentage increase: The rent increase imposed exceeds the maximum percentage allowed according to the Sandy Springs Rent Control Ordinance. As per my calculations and the current rental rate, it is clear that the increase is unjustifiable under the local regulations. 3. Insufficient justification for the increase: The Rent Control Ordinance requires landlords to provide a valid reason for imposing a rent increase. I have not been provided with any justifications or explanations supporting the sudden increase, which further raises concerns about its legitimacy under the local guidelines. Considering the violations outlined above, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the improper rent increase and adjust my rent amount to comply with the Rent Control Ordinance within [specific time frame as per local regulations]. I also request that you reimburse any overpaid rent as a result of the improper increase. Please be aware that I am fully aware of my rights as a tenant and will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the relevant housing authorities or seek legal assistance if necessary. However, I strongly believe that resolving this matter amicably would be in the best interest of both parties involved. I kindly ask that you respond to this notice within [number of days as per local regulations] days to confirm your actions taken to rectify this issue. Failure to respond or comply with the Rent Control Ordinance within the specified timeframe may leave me with no alternative but to pursue further actions available to me under the law. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I trust that we can resolve this dispute in a fair and lawful manner. I look forward to receiving your timely response.
