Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Registered protest against the unjustified rent increase in Contra Costa, California [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent rent increase notice I received for my [apartment/house] located in Contra Costa, California. I am a responsible tenant who values the opportunity to reside in this community, and I firmly believe that the proposed rent increase is unwarranted and unjustified. Firstly, it is important to emphasize my tenure as a respectful and punctual tenant for [insert number of years]. Throughout this time, I have diligently complied with all lease terms, maintained the property in excellent condition, and responsibly paid my rent on time, without any prior issues. My dedication to your property's well-being and its upkeep demonstrates my commitment to being a responsible tenant. Furthermore, it is disheartening to discover that the proposed rent increase significantly exceeds the current market rates for similar properties in Contra Costa, California. I have conducted extensive research and have discovered that comparable rentals in the area are consistently priced lower, which raises doubts about the fairness of the proposed increase. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse economic impact on many households, including mine, the timing of this proposed rent increase adds further distress. Many tenants, including myself, have experienced financial hardships and job instability during these unprecedented times. An exorbitant rent increase would only exacerbate an already challenging situation, making it incredibly difficult for me to meet my financial obligations while maintaining a decent standard of living. Therefore, I kindly request that you reconsider the proposed rent increase or at least provide an explanation for the sudden and substantial adjustment in rental rates. It is my belief that an open and transparent dialogue can lead to a fair and equitable resolution that is mutually beneficial for both parties involved. In the event that you are unable to address my concerns regarding the rent increase, I would appreciate guidance on the avenues available for further discussion or mediation with a neutral third party, such as a local tenants' rights organization or a housing authority agency. I value our landlord-tenant relationship and cherish the opportunity to continue residing in this wonderful community. I genuinely hope we can resolve this matter amicably and reasonably without any adverse effects on our relationship or my ability to comfortably maintain my current residence. Furthermore, I kindly request a prompt response to this letter outlining your reconsideration or providing further information and guidance so that we may find a mutually agreeable resolution. Thank you for your attention and understanding. Sincerely, [Your Name]
