Boston Massachusetts Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase Subject: Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase — Urgent Attention Required [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 in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address an urgent matter concerning the rent increase notice that I recently received. I believe that the notice did not comply with the required legal guidelines specified under the Boston Massachusetts Landlord and Tenant Laws. Firstly, as per the Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 186, Section 12, landlords are required to provide tenants with a written notice of rent increase at least thirty (30) days before the proposed increase comes into effect. However, the notice I received was only fifteen (15) days in advance of the proposed rent increase. This, unfortunately, falls short of the legally mandated timeframe, leaving me insufficient time to adjust my budget and explore alternative housing options, if necessary. Moreover, the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office provides clear guidelines that landlords must follow when providing such rent increase notices. These guidelines include providing a written statement detailing the effective date of the increase, the new rental amount, and the specific reason for the increase. Regrettably, the notice I received lacked essential information, such as the effective date and a proper explanation for the proposed increase. Considering the aforementioned legal requirements, it is evident that the notice I received did not meet the necessary standards. Therefore, I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify this matter by providing me with a proper notice that adheres to the legal guidelines outlined in the Boston Massachusetts Landlord and Tenant Laws. Additionally, as a tenant in good standing who has always paid their rent promptly and maintained the premises in a satisfactory condition, I request your reconsideration of the proposed rent increase. Given the short notice, I believe it is unfair for such a significant increase to be implemented without considering the potential financial strain it may impose on me. I kindly ask you to respond to this letter within seven (7) days of receiving it, confirming that you will comply with the correct notice period and provide a revised rent increase notice that meets all legal requirements. Additionally, if you are open to discussing the rent increase, I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to meet with you and discuss a reasonable resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this important issue. I trust that you value our landlord-tenant relationship and will promptly address these concerns. I remain committed to fulfilling my obligations as a responsible tenant and look forward to your favorable resolution. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
