Description

It is a letter from Tenant to Landlord containing a notice to landlord to improper notice of a rent increase was given for the month-to-month lease. This notice informs Landlord that according to law the rent increase will not take effect until a date different used by the landlord. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Insufficient Notice of 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 that I received. As a tenant residing at [Your Address] in Queens, New York, I believe that the notice was issued without sufficient advance notice and fails to comply with the legal requirements outlined by the relevant laws governing tenancy agreements within the state. First and foremost, I want to ensure that this communication is not interpreted as a refusal to pay the increased rent amount. However, it is imperative to address the lack of adequate notice, as it can have a profound impact on the overall relationship between landlords and tenants. Upon reviewing the lease agreement we signed on [Lease Start Date], I found no clause indicating the duration of notice required for rent increases. However, it is essential to comply with the legal guidelines set forth by the State of New York. According to the New York Rent Stabilization Law, specifically Section 2525.6(a), landlords are required to provide tenants with written notice at least 30 days in advance for an increase in rent. I kindly request that you rectify this situation by providing proper notice for the rent increase, adhering to the aforementioned guidelines. This will not only promote a mutually respectful landlord-tenant relationship but also ensure compliance with state regulations. Furthermore, it is essential to highlight that rent increases, when executed without sufficient notice, could potentially burden tenants financially. As a responsible tenant, I always strive to meet my obligations promptly. However, unexpected financial burdens may create significant challenges in meeting the increased rental amount within the limited timeframe provided. Considering this matter, I kindly request your understanding and cooperation in rectifying the situation promptly. I believe that a fair resolution can be achieved through open communication and adherence to the legal requirements governing rent increases. I encourage us to explore alternative options, such as spreading the rent increase over a few months or discussing potential compromises, to mitigate any undue financial strain that may arise due to this unexpected change. Please note that I value living in this property and have always maintained it well. I hope that we can resolve this matter amicably and continue our positive landlord-tenant relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. I kindly request a written response within [reasonable timeframe, typically 7-14 days] from the receipt of this letter to discuss and address this issue promptly. In the interest of maintaining a fair and open dialogue, I would appreciate scheduling a meeting at a mutually convenient time to resolve this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your timely response. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
