Subject: Urgent Matter — Insufficient Notice of Rent Increase in Eugene, Oregon Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent rent increase notice I received for my [apartment/house] located at [address] in Eugene, Oregon. I believe that the notice provided does not comply with the legal requirements set forth by Oregon state law. Firstly, it should be noted that as a responsible tenant, I have consistently paid my rent on time and maintained the property well. I take pride in being a reliable and respectful tenant, and thus, I believe it is imperative that I am provided with sufficient notice for any changes related to my tenancy. Upon reviewing the notice, I have discovered that it fails to comply with Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 90.600, which mandates that tenants should be granted a written notice at least 90 days prior to any rental rate increase. According to my calculations, the notice I received was issued a mere [number of days or months] in advance, which falls considerably short of the required notice period. It is crucial to understand that the purpose of providing sufficient notice is to allow tenants an adequate amount of time to evaluate the financial implications of a rent increase and make necessary adjustments to their budgets. Unfortunately, this insufficient notice has put me in a challenging position, leaving me with limited time to explore alternative options or evaluate the feasibility of the proposed increase. Furthermore, in accordance with ORS 90.600, if landlords fail to adhere to the required notice period, tenants have the right to remain in their current lease agreement for the duration of their lease term without any rent increase. I kindly request that you reconsider the proposed rent increase and provide me with the required 90-day notice as stated under Oregon law. As a tenant who has upheld their obligations faithfully, I believe it is in our mutual interest to address this matter promptly and in accordance with the Oregon Tenant Landlord Act. I kindly request that you respond to this letter in writing within [specific time frame] to discuss the situation further and resolve this matter amicably. If no resolution can be reached within the given time frame, I may have no choice but to explore legal remedies available to me under the Tenant Landlord Act to ensure my rights as a tenant are protected. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt and favorable resolution that upholds the law and safeguards the positive tenant-landlord relationship we have maintained thus far.
