Subject: Urgent Notice to Landlord — Immediate Withdrawal of Improper Rent Increase During Lease [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing concern regarding the recent and unjustified rent increase on my leased property at [Rental Property Address] in South Bend, Indiana. As a responsible and cooperative tenant, I would like to bring to your attention that the rent increase is in violation of our lease agreement and state regulations. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the improper rent hike and revert the rental amount to our previous agreed-upon figure. I believe it is imperative to maintain a transparent and respectful landlord-tenant relationship, ensuring that both parties adhere to the agreed-upon terms outlined in the lease agreement. Upon thorough review of the lease agreement, I have found no provision that permits unilateral rent increases during the lease term. Section [Insert Lease Agreement Section] clearly indicates that any rent modification shall be subject to mutual consent between both parties. Moreover, in accordance with the Indiana code (IC 32-31-3-11), rent increases during a lease term can only be implemented if explicitly stated in the lease or agreed upon in writing between the landlord and tenant. Without such written agreement or lease provision, a rent increase lacks a legal foundation. In light of this, I kindly request that you rectify this issue promptly. The sudden and improper rent increase places an unexpected financial burden on my household, causing significant personal and financial hardship. Therefore, I strongly urge you to reconsider this rent increase and take immediate corrective action. Failure to withdraw this improper rent increase may force me to explore legal remedies available to protect my tenant rights and seek the intervention of relevant housing authorities. I kindly request your prompt response, within [Specify a Reasonable Timeframe, e.g., 10 days], providing written confirmation of the withdrawal of the rent increase. Please understand that this issue needs to be resolved swiftly to ensure a mutually beneficial ongoing tenancy. I anticipate your understanding and cooperation in this matter, and I am confident that we can reach a swift resolution that benefits both parties involved. I believe it is in the best interest of both the tenant and landlord to maintain a harmonious and compliant landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
