I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter regarding the recent rent increase notification I received on [date]. I believe that this notice violates the rent control ordinance in Boston, Massachusetts, specifically, [cite the specific ordinance or laws applicable, if known, such as Chapter 7, Section 55 of the Boston Rent Control Regulations]. As a tenant living in the city of Boston, I am entitled to the protections provided by the rent control ordinance. According to the ordinance, rent increases must adhere to certain guidelines, specifically [provide relevant guidelines or requirements under the ordinance such as annual rent increase limits or notice periods]. Violation of these provisions could result in penalties and may require the immediate withdrawal of the improper rent increase. After carefully reviewing the notice provided, it is evident that the rent increase you have imposed goes beyond the authorized limits set by the rent control ordinance. The increase constitutes a violation of my rights as a tenant and places an undue financial burden on me. Therefore, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the improper rent increase notice and adjust my rent accordingly to be in compliance with the rent control ordinance. I would like to remind you of the importance of maintaining a good landlord-tenant relationship and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Failure to rectify this violation promptly may leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights and seek appropriate remedies. As per the rent control ordinance, I expect a response in writing within [time frame, e.g., 14 days] acknowledging the withdrawal of the improper rent increase and confirming the adjusted rent amount as per the applicable guidelines. Should there be any delays or issues in complying with this request, please provide a detailed explanation in your response. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your prompt response. Our ability to resolve this issue quickly and amicably is in the best interest of both parties. I trust that you will take this matter seriously and take appropriate action to comply with the rent control ordinance. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
