Subject: Olathe, Kansas — Tenant's Formal Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase During Lease [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue regarding the recent rent increase that was imposed during my current lease agreement for the property located at [Property Address]. I believe this rent increase to be improper and wish to request its immediate withdrawal. As a responsible tenant, I understand that rent adjustments can occur over time due to factors such as inflation or property value appreciation. However, it is crucial to ensure that any rent increases fall within the legal limits prescribed by the state of Kansas and comply with the terms stated in our lease agreement. Upon thorough research and consultation with legal experts, I have realized that the rent increase you implemented on [Date of Rent Increase] is in violation of the Kansas Tenant-Landlord Act and breaches our contractual agreement. I would like to draw your attention to the following points: 1. Statutory Requirements: According to the Kansas Tenant-Landlord Act, landlords cannot increase rent during a fixed-term lease unless there is a provision allowing for it in the lease agreement. Our current lease does not contain such provision, and therefore, the rent increase is not legally enforceable. 2. Fair Rental Value Assessment: The recent increase in rent goes beyond the fair rental value for similar properties in the area. I have conducted research and found that comparable properties within the vicinity are being rented at a significantly lower rate. This raises concerns about the validity of the implemented rent hike. 3. Unforeseen Financial Hardship: The sudden and substantial rent increase places me in a position of financial instability and constriction. Given the current economic uncertainty and my personal circumstances, such an unforeseen financial burden significantly impacts my ability to meet my other obligations while maintaining the agreed-upon rent payments promptly. Considering the aforementioned points, I kindly request that you withdraw the improper rent increase and revert to the original rental amount stated in our lease agreement. I am confident that we can resolve this matter through open communication and collaboration, maintaining the harmonious tenant-landlord relationship we have enjoyed thus far. It is my genuine desire to continue my tenancy in good faith and ensure compliance with all lease terms and applicable laws. Hence, I believe that resolving this matter amicably would be in both our best interests. Please acknowledge receipt of this notice within ten (10) business days from the date of this letter. I kindly request a written response, either confirming the acceptance of my withdrawal request or providing a detailed explanation if you deny my claim. Failure to respond within the specified timeframe will prompt me to pursue further legal actions to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am hopeful that we can reach a timely resolution that upholds fairness and complies with the legal requirements.
