Subject: Urgent Notice to Landlord: Request to Withdraw Improper Rent Increase During Lease [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 well. I am writing to address a recent concern regarding an improper rent increase within the terms of our rental agreement at [Rental Property Address]. I have carefully reviewed the lease agreement and determined that the rent increase imposed violates the terms agreed upon initially. As per our lease agreement dated [Start Date] and in accordance with North Carolina landlord-tenant laws, the rent amount was explicitly stated as [Original Rent Amount]. This amount has been consistently paid on time throughout the lease term, as stipulated by the agreement. No provision or amendment outlines any circumstances under which a rent increase can be implemented during the lease duration. Upon receiving the recent notification regarding the rent increase to [New Rent Amount], effective [Effective Date], I researched the North Carolina General Statutes that govern the relationship between landlords and tenants. It is my understanding that rent increases are permissible only upon the expiration of the existing lease term and must be communicated in writing at least 30 days in advance. Given the circumstances, I kindly request that you retract the improper rent increase and honor the terms and conditions set forth in our original lease agreement. I am confident that this matter can be resolved swiftly and amicably to maintain a harmonious tenant-landlord relationship. If there is any misunderstanding or confusion on this issue, I am open to discussing the matter further or providing any additional information you may require. It is my sincere hope that we can reach an agreement that is fair and complies with the laws governing our rental agreement. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and your intention to rectify the rent increase issue within [reasonable time frame, e.g., 7 days]. Failure to comply with this request may leave me with no choice but to explore other legal avenues to address this matter. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to resolving it in a timely manner. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided contact information. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name]
