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.
Subject: Lack of Sufficient Notice regarding Rent Increase — Urgent Matter Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a serious concern regarding the recent rent increase notice that I received for my rental property located at [Property Address] in Brownsville, Texas. Unfortunately, I must express my disappointment and frustration as it has come to my attention that the notice provided did not comply with the legally required period of notice, as stipulated in our lease agreement and Texas state law. Firstly, I would like to emphasize my gratitude for your continuous maintenance and prompt handling of various issues related to the property. It is crucial for me to maintain a respectful and constructive relationship with my landlord, which is why I feel compelled to address this matter in writing, to ensure that all parties involved are aware and can work towards a satisfactory resolution. According to our current lease agreement, it explicitly states that any rent increase must be communicated to me in writing at least [state legally required notice period] days prior to the effective date of the increase. However, the notice I received on [date of notice] informed me of an unexpected [dollar amount] increase in my monthly rent, with a proposed effective date of [date of proposed increase], which clearly violates the agreed-upon terms. I kindly request clarification and proper justification for the insufficient notice provided. As a responsible tenant who adheres to all requirements as stipulated in our lease agreement, I expect that the same level of integrity and diligence is upheld by the landlord. By failing to provide the required notice period, I was not given adequate time to consider the financial implications of this increase, explore viable alternatives, or plan accordingly. As a tenant who has consistently paid rent on time, maintained the property in good condition, and respected the lease terms, it is disheartening to be faced with this sudden and unforeseen financial burden. I am confident that this issue genuinely stems from an oversight or miscommunication, as opposed to a deliberate act or intention. In light of these circumstances, I kindly request that you reconsider the current rent increase and adhere to the legally required notice period. I believe that an amicable resolution can be reached by discussing and renegotiating the proposed increase, allowing both parties to reconsider the terms without jeopardizing our otherwise constructive landlord-tenant relationship. Furthermore, I strongly urge you to ensure that such communication issues are not repeated in the future by updating your records and processes to guarantee compliance with the terms outlined in our lease agreement. This will help foster a transparent and mutually beneficial environment for all parties involved, ensuring a smooth and harmonious renting experience moving forward. I appreciate your attention to this matter and expect a prompt response. I look forward to resolving this issue amicably and continuing our positive tenant-landlord relationship, which has been beneficial for both parties thus far. Please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Contact Information] to discuss this matter further or arrange a convenient time to meet. Thank you for your understanding, and I anticipate a favorable resolution to this concern.
