This is a sample letter from a Tenant to the Landlord. This letter serves as Notice ot the Landlord that he/she gave the Tenant insufficient notice of the rent increase.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing this letter to address my concerns regarding the recent notice of rent increase that I received for [property address] in South Bend, Indiana. I believe that I have not been provided with sufficient notice regarding this rent hike, in accordance with the laws and regulations governing landlord-tenant relationships in our state. Firstly, according to the Indiana Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, it is mandatory for landlords to provide a written notice of rent increase to tenants at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the increase. However, the notice I received only allows for a 15-day notice period, which does not meet the statutory requirements. As an informed and responsible tenant, I prioritize paying my rent promptly and adhering to all the terms of our lease agreement. Nevertheless, a rent increase is a significant financial burden that requires proper planning. With only 15 days' notice, I am unable to make appropriate arrangements to accommodate this change and ensure timely payment. Additionally, I would like to point out that the sudden rent increase is substantial in nature, considering the current economic conditions and the affordability of similar rental units in our local market. It would be beneficial to review comparable rental pricing in the South Bend area to ensure that the proposed increase is fair and reasonable. I kindly request that you reconsider the notice provided and extend it to comply with the legally required 30-day notice period. This would provide me with ample time to evaluate and adjust my budget accordingly, ensuring that I can fulfill my financial obligations without hardship. In conclusion, I emphasize that my intention is not to deny the possibility of a rent increase, but rather to express my concern regarding the insufficient notice provided. I trust that you will understand the importance of following the applicable laws and regulations to maintain a fair and respectful landlord-tenant relationship. I look forward to discussing this matter with you and finding a mutually agreeable solution. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [tenant's phone number] or [tenant's email address] to arrange a convenient time for further discussion. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
