I am writing to bring to your attention a serious matter concerning the recent rent increase notification I received for my rental unit located at [address]. It has come to my attention that the rent increase you have imposed violates the rent control provisions set forth by the North Charleston, SC Rent Control Ordinance. Per the rent control ordinance enacted by the City of North Charleston, which is designed to protect tenants and ensure fair housing practices, landlords are obliged to adhere to specific guidelines when increasing the rent. After thoroughly reviewing the ordinance, I have determined that your rent increase does not comply with the provisions outlined within it.

Based on my calculations, the proposed increase surpasses this legal limit.] 2. [Specify another violation if applicable — e.g., The rent increase fails to consider the local Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is a required factor for determining permissible rent adjustments according to the ordinance.] As a responsible and law-abiding tenant, I firmly believe in upholding the rights and responsibilities associated with renting in North Charleston. It is crucial that we maintain fairness and compliance with the established regulations to ensure a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. In light of the aforementioned violations, I kindly request the immediate withdrawal of the improper rent increase and a continued adherence to the rent control ordinance. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that you will rectify the situation without further delay. Should you have any queries or require additional information regarding the rent control ordinance, I am more than willing to provide you with the necessary documentation for your reference. I look forward to your swift response within [reasonable time frame] to confirm the withdrawal of the improper rent increase notice. Failure to comply will leave me no choice but to pursue appropriate legal actions to safeguard my rights, as guaranteed by both the North Charleston Rent Control Ordinance and my lease agreement. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust we can resolve this issue amicably and maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship going forward.
