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.

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.
