Title: Wilmington North Carolina Letter from Tenant to Landlord Containing Notice to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase Keywords: Wilmington North Carolina, letter, tenant, landlord, notice, withdraw, retaliatory rent increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent rent increase notice I received from your office. After careful consideration and review of the situation, I believe this rent increase is in direct response to my rightful exercise of my tenant rights. I kindly request that you withdraw this retaliatory rent increase immediately. As a responsible tenant, I have always fulfilled my obligations promptly and maintained the property in good condition throughout my tenancy. I have been prompt with rent payments, adhered to the terms of the lease agreement, and have been respectful of my neighbors and their peaceable enjoyment of the premises. It is disheartening to realize that my just exercise of my legal rights has resulted in an unfair and burdensome rent increase. Furthermore, it's essential to note that retaliatory actions, such as a rent increase, are prohibited under the North Carolina landlord-tenant law. Section 42-37.2 states that no landlord may take retaliatory actions against a tenant who has exercised a legal right, such as filing a complaint about unsafe living conditions or joining a tenant's union. By imposing a retaliatory rent increase, you are violating this legal provision. In light of the above, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the rent increase notice and restore my rent to its previous amount. I expect fair treatment as a tenant and respect for my legal rights. Failure to comply within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] will leave me with no choice but to seek legal counsel and take appropriate actions to protect my rights. I would appreciate a written response acknowledging the withdrawal of the retaliatory rent increase within the specified timeframe. Should you require any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am open to resolving this matter amicably and hope to reinstate a positive and harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
