Subject: Formal Notice of Rent Increase Withdrawal during Lease — Urgent Action Required Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to express my concern and formally notify you of my dissatisfaction regarding the recent rent increase imposed on my lease agreement for the property located at [Property Address], in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of Eugene, Oregon. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize my deep appreciation for the comfortable accommodation that your property has provided me over the course of my tenancy. I have always regarded our professional relationship positively and have made it my utmost priority to be a responsible and reliable tenant. However, upon receiving notice of the rent increase dated [Date of Notice], I have carefully reviewed the terms of our lease agreement, as well as the rental laws mandated by the City of Eugene, Oregon. As it became apparent to me, the imposed rent increase exceeds the maximum allowable percentage increase specified under the Rent Control Ordinance in place, rendering it inappropriate and in violation of the legal guidelines governing tenancy agreements in this jurisdiction. According to Section [Relevant Section Number] of the Eugene Rent Control Ordinance, specifically relating to rent increases during an existing lease term, any increase over [Percentage Limit] is considered impermissible, unless there are justifiable circumstances that have been met. After conducting extensive research and seeking legal advice, it has become evident that the increase in question does not meet the required criteria for validity under this ordinance. Therefore, I kindly request an immediate reconsideration and withdrawal of the improper rent increase notification, bringing the rental amount back to the previous rate stipulated in our lease agreement, effective from the date specified in the original notice of the rent increase. I must stress the urgency of this matter, as it is vital that we address and resolve this issue promptly to maintain the harmony of our contractual relationship. I strongly believe that a fair and equitable resolution can be reached without resorting to legal intervention or further complications. This includes preserving our amicable landlord-tenant relationship. To assist you in your review and reference for the necessary actions, I have attached the relevant documents, including the original lease agreement, the notice of the rent increase, and copies of the applicable sections of the Eugene Rent Control Ordinance. I sincerely hope that you will consider this notice with due urgency, rectify the improper rent increase promptly, and provide me with written confirmation acknowledging that the increase has been withdrawn. I trust that we can move forward cooperatively and ensure our continued harmonious tenancy. Thank you for your swift attention to this matter. I'm available for any clarification or discussion if required. I look forward to resolving this situation amicably and fostering a positive tenant-landlord relationship for the remainder of my lease term. Yours respectfully, [Tenant's Full Name] [Tenant's Contact Information]
