Description

It is a letter from Tenant to Landlord containing a notice to landlord to withdraw improper rent increase due to violation of rent control ordinance. This notice informs Landlord that improper increase of rent may be unlawful. Subject: Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase in Violation of Grand Rapids Michigan Rent Control Ordinance [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 express my concerns regarding the recent rent increase notice I received from your office, which I believe is in direct violation of the rent control ordinance implemented in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Firstly, as a responsible and law-abiding tenant, I have performed due diligence by thoroughly researching the laws and regulations applicable to my tenancy. It has come to my attention that rent control regulations are in place in the City of Grand Rapids, which aim to ensure fair and reasonable housing costs for tenants like myself. These regulations are designed to maintain affordable housing options and protect tenants from excessive rent increases. Upon reviewing the terms and conditions of my lease agreement, I have noticed that our rental unit falls under the category protected by the Grand Rapids rent control ordinance. As per Section [relevant section number] of the ordinance, any rent increase beyond the permissible limit is strictly prohibited without proper justifications. The notice received from your office indicates a rent increase that exceeds the allowable limit stated in the rent control ordinance. This violation not only undermines the spirit of the ordinance but also unfairly burdens me as a responsible tenant who pays their rent on time and takes good care of the property. Therefore, I kindly request that you reconsider and withdraw the improper rent increase that has been implemented, as it is in direct violation of the Grand Rapids rent control ordinance. I trust that you will rectify this issue promptly to maintain a harmonious and mutually beneficial landlord-tenant relationship. In the event that this situation persists or if I do not receive a satisfactory response within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 14 days] of receiving this letter, I am prepared to take appropriate legal actions to protect my rights as a tenant under the Grand Rapids rent control ordinance, including reporting the violation to the relevant authorities and seeking legal representation if necessary. I value the positive and cooperative relationship we have built thus far and sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably. I look forward to your prompt attention to this issue and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your cooperation. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
