After reviewing the terms and conditions of our lease agreement and researching the local rent control ordinance, I have discovered that the proposed rent increase violates the applicable regulations in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As a responsible tenant, I am aware of my rights and duties under the Rent Control Ordinance in our city. According to the specific provisions outlined in the ordinance, landlords are required to adhere to certain guidelines and limitations when implementing rent adjustments. It is evident from my research that the proposed rent increase exceeds the allowable limits set forth by the local law, constituting a direct violation of the rent control ordinance.

In light of the circumstances, I would like to propose a meeting or discussion to clarify any misunderstanding and further explore a fair resolution. I strongly believe that we can maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship by addressing this issue promptly and amicably. I am open to finding a reasonable compromise in order to ensure compliance with the rent control ordinance. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter within [number of days, as per lease agreement] and arrange a convenient time for us to discuss this matter further. I kindly request that you provide a written response outlining your intentions regarding the improper rent increase notice within the same timeframe. This will help us avoid any misunderstandings and demonstrate our commitment to resolving this matter efficiently. Should you choose not to withdraw the rent increase and rectify the violation, I may be forced to seek legal guidance and file a complaint with the relevant housing authority. I trust that we can reach a resolution without resorting to such measures, as it is in both of our best interests to maintain a positive and cooperative relationship.
