Subject: Urgent Concern — Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase in Sterling Heights, Michigan Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter regarding the recent rent increase notification that I received for my residential unit at [property address] in Sterling Heights, Michigan. While I appreciate your efforts to maintain the property and understand that rental rates may need to be adjusted, I am concerned about the insufficient notice provided before implementing this increase. Upon receiving the notification dated [date], I carefully reviewed the terms and conditions outlined. As per the lease agreement signed on [lease start date], it clearly states that any changes to the rent must be provided with sufficient notice, typically 30 days in advance. However, the notice I received only allowed for [number of days] days before the revised rental amount would become effective. As a responsible tenant, it is essential for me to plan my budget and make necessary financial arrangements well in advance. The lack of proper notice has put me in a difficult position, leaving me with limited time to evaluate and adjust for the sudden increase. Moreover, it leaves me feeling unsupported and concerned about the transparency of our landlord-tenant relationship. I kindly request that you reconsider the implementation of the rent increase and provide me with a fair and reasonable notice period, in accordance with our signed lease agreement. This would allow both of us to adhere to our respective responsibilities and obligations in a mutually respectful manner. I believe it is in the best interest of both parties to maintain open lines of communication and work together to resolve this matter, ensuring a harmonious and long-lasting tenancy. Therefore, I propose the following: 1. Extend the notice period for the rent increase to a minimum of 30 days from the receipt of this letter. 2. Provide detailed justifications or explanations for the proposed rent increase, such as improvements made to the property, rising maintenance costs, etc. 3. Consider negotiating the rent increase to a more reasonable rate that aligns with the current market conditions and affordable for me as a valued tenant. I kindly request a prompt response from you regarding this matter to avoid any unnecessary legal disputes or disruptions to the peaceful enjoyment of the premises. I trust that you understand the importance of maintaining cordial landlord-tenant relations and resolving this matter fairly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing concern. I look forward to receiving your response within [specified timeframe] to initiate a constructive discussion and reach a mutually beneficial resolution. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Residential Address] [City], [State], [ZIP Code] [Phone Number] [Email Address]
