Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a dispute regarding the rental payment for the property located at [rental property address] in Oakland, Michigan. I have been a tenant at this property since [start date] and have always strived to promptly pay my monthly rental fees in full and on time. However, it has come to my attention that there seems to be a discrepancy in the rental payment amount for the month of [month]. According to my records, I have previously been paying a monthly rent of [previous rental amount]. However, I recently received a notice from your office stating that the new rent amount effective from [date] is now [new rental amount]. I must express my confusion over this sudden increase in rental payment. As per the terms of our rental agreement, any changes in the rental amount should be communicated to me in writing at least [notice period] days prior to the new rent's effect date. Regrettably, I did not receive any such written notice within the aforementioned timeframe. According to the Michigan Tenant-Landlord Statute Act [# statute number], it is the landlord's responsibility to provide proper notice regarding any proposed rent increases. Failure to do so may result in the rent increase being deemed invalid. I kindly request you to review this matter and provide me with the necessary documentation indicating the notification of the rent increase within the required time frame. To resolve this dispute promptly and amicably, I propose the following solutions: 1. Rent Reconciliation: I respectfully request a meeting to discuss the rental payment discrepancy and attempt to reconcile it. This will provide us an opportunity to mutually review our records and ensure that we are both operating under the same understanding of the rental payment agreement. 2. Rent Adjustment: In the event that the rental increase was indeed validly communicated, I request that you provide me with the appropriate evidence and documentation supporting the increase. If proven valid, I would be willing to adjust my payment for the month of [month] accordingly and continue with the revised rental amount moving forward. I hope we can come to a resolution regarding this rental payment dispute in a fair and timely manner. It is my sincere desire to maintain a positive tenant-landlord relationship, and I am confident that we can achieve this through open and honest communication. Kindly respond to this letter within [specified time period] to confirm your availability for a meeting or provide the requested documentation. If I do not receive any response within the specified time frame, I may be forced to seek further advice from a legal professional to ensure that my rights as a tenant are protected. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
