Description

This notice regarding Retaliatory Rent Increase, complies with state housing laws and informs Landlord that it is unlawful for a landlord to discriminatorily increase a tenant's rent or decrease services to a tenant, or to bring or threaten to bring an action for possession or other civil action, primarily because the landlord is retaliating against the tenant. Subject: Urgent Notice — Withdrawal of Retaliatory Rent Increase in Overland Park, Kansas Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of concern that needs immediate attention. As a tenant in good standing at [Property Address], I have recently been made aware of a retaliatory rent increase that has been imposed upon me. This communication serves as a formal notice, under the laws of Overland Park, Kansas, to request the withdrawal of this retaliatory action. According to the Overland Park Tenant Rights Act, Section 7-10-734, it is illegal for a landlord to impose a rent increase as a form of retaliation against a tenant. This includes any actions taken by the landlord in response to complaints made by the tenant or exercise of any legal rights provided by the lease agreement, state laws, or local ordinances. I have thoroughly reviewed my tenancy, and I firmly believe that this rent increase is a direct result of my legitimate grievances and requests that I have brought to your attention earlier. To describe it briefly, I have raised concerns regarding the subpar maintenance issues within the property, which have been persistently neglected despite my repeated notifications. Additionally, my various requests for essential repairs have not been adequately addressed, jeopardizing my comfort and safety as a tenant. By imposing an unjust and retaliatory rent increase, it appears that my efforts to ensure a suitable living environment are being undermined. This retaliatory action constitutes a breach of the terms and spirit of our lease agreement and the Overland Park Tenant Rights Act, and I kindly request that you retract this rent increase immediately. I would like to resolve this matter amicably without resorting to legal actions. However, please be advised that if this retaliatory rent increase is not withdrawn within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 10 business days] of receiving this letter, I will be left with no choice but to seek legal remedies and report this alleged violation to the appropriate regulatory authorities.

Please communicate your course of action in writing within the aforementioned time frame. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I remain hopeful that we can come to a satisfactory resolution and continue our tenancy under fair, lawful, and amicable conditions.
