League City Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice to Landlord to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Notice to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the recent rent increase notice that I received on [date]. I deeply appreciate your promptness in making this adjustment, but after careful consideration, I must express my concerns regarding the increase, as I believe it to be retaliatory in nature. Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention my observations regarding the timing of this rent increase. It coincidentally follows my inquiries and complaints regarding various maintenance issues and repairs needed in the property, which are your responsibilities outlined in the lease agreement. Given that Texas law prohibits retaliatory actions from landlords against tenants who exercise their legal rights, it is imperative for us to find an amicable resolution to this matter. As you may be aware, Section 92.331 of the Texas Property Code states that landlords are prohibited from retaliating against tenants who have reported necessary repairs or requested maintenance. By imposing this sudden rent increase, I believe you intended to penalize me for exercising my rights as a tenant. This retaliatory action is not only unfair but also against the spirit of creating a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. I kindly request that you reconsider the rent increase and withdraw it immediately. I believe in resolving issues through open communication and cooperation rather than resorting to legal action, which I am sure neither of us desires. It is crucial that we maintain a respectful and professional relationship to ensure the longevity of our tenant-landlord association. I propose that we meet at your earliest convenience to discuss my concerns and come to a mutually agreeable solution. In the spirit of cooperation, I am open to negotiating fair terms regarding the rent increase, as long as it is not based on retaliation or punitive motives. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter within [number of days as per lease agreement] and provide me with a written response within [number of days as per lease agreement]. Failing to engage in a constructive dialog to resolve this matter may leave me no choice but to seek legal remedies available under Texas law to protect my rights. I eagerly await your prompt response and look forward to resolving this matter swiftly. Thank you for your attention to this important issue, and I remain confident that we can reach a fair resolution. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
