Subject: Notice to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase and Address Violation of Rent Control Ordinance — Sterling Heights, Michigan Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter regarding a recent rent increase on my rental unit, which I believe violates the rent control ordinance enforced in Sterling Heights, Michigan. I kindly request that you withdraw this improper rent increase and adhere to the established regulations. As a responsible tenant, I have taken the time to thoroughly research and understand the local laws pertaining to rent control. The Sterling Heights' rent control ordinance provides important protections to tenants, ensuring fair and reasonable rent increases and preventing landlords from exploiting their tenants' economic circumstances. Upon reviewing the ordinance (insert ordinance number/section if applicable), it becomes evident that landlords are obligated to follow specific guidelines when increasing rental rates. These guidelines may involve factors such as rent index adjustments, maintaining habitability standards, or other criteria outlined by the local authority. Having compared the recent rent increase you imposed with the established rent control regulations, I am concerned that the raise exceeds the permissible limits. This demonstrates a violation of the rent control ordinance, which is in place to protect tenants from unreasonably burdensome financial obligations. It is crucial that landlords respect and abide by the laws that help maintain a harmonious tenant-landlord relationship and ensure housing affordability for all residents. By disregarding the provisions set forth in the Sterling Heights rent control ordinance, our previously amicable rental agreement is at risk of being strained, undermining the stability of our landlord-tenant association. I kindly ask that you rectify this situation promptly by withdrawing the improper rent increase and resetting the rental rate to reflect the provisions outlined within the rent control ordinance. Moreover, I urge you to take appropriate measures to comply with the established regulations moving forward. In case of any concerns or misunderstandings regarding the rent control ordinance and its application, I am more than willing to discuss this issue further with you. Let us work together to find a mutually agreeable solution that respects the rights of both tenants and landlords while fostering a respectful and compliant rental environment. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I anticipate a prompt response acknowledging the withdrawal of the improper rent increase and your commitment to adhere to the rent control ordinance guidelines going forward.
