Description

This notice regarding Retaliatory Rent Increase, complies with state housing laws and informs Landlord that it is unlawful for a landlord to discriminatorily increase a tenant's rent or decrease services to a tenant, or to bring or threaten to bring an action for possession or other civil action, primarily because the landlord is retaliating against the tenant.

[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 in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally address the recent rent increase notice I received from you on [insert date]. As an esteemed tenant of [property address], I have always strived to maintain a positive and respectful relationship with you as my landlord. However, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept the substantial rent increase that you have proposed. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize that this rent increase appears to be a retaliatory action in response to my exercise of tenant rights and the reporting of various maintenance issues that required your prompt attention. This retaliatory increase violates the landlord-tenant laws established under the statutes of the State of Utah and undermines the principles of fair housing and mutual respect. I would like to draw your attention to Section [insert applicable section number] of the Utah Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which clearly states that it is unlawful for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant for exercising their legal rights. This includes reporting maintenance issues, requesting repairs, or making complaints to the appropriate authorities. The imposition of a hefty rent increase immediately following my reports can only be interpreted as punitive, thereby necessitating the withdrawal of this increase. Additionally, it is pertinent to mention that the proposed rent increase is not justified by any reasonable market standards or significant upgrades to the property. I have diligently researched rental rates for similar properties in this area, reaching out to local real estate agencies and consulting online resources, and the proposed increase far exceeds the current market value. Given the absence of any substantial improvements or changes to warrant such a significant increase, it is fair to request that this action be reversed. In light of the aforementioned legal violations and inconsistencies, I kindly request that you immediately withdraw the retaliatory rent increase notice. I trust that as an ethical and responsible landlord, you will acknowledge the importance of abiding by the law and maintaining a fair and amicable landlord-tenant relationship. Please consider this letter as my formal notice requesting the withdrawal of the rent increase. Failure to comply with this request may result in further legal action being taken, which I hope can be avoided through open communication and fair resolution. I believe in our ability to resolve this matter in a mutually beneficial manner while upholding the principles of justice and fairness. I eagerly await your prompt response within [reasonable time frame]. Furthermore, I can be reached at [phone number] or [email address] to discuss this matter further or arrange a meeting if necessary. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] --- Alternative Type: Salt Lake City Utah Letter from Tenant to Landlord containing Notice to landlord to withdraw retaliatory rent increase (Informal Version) The aforementioned letter can also be modified to suit an informal communication style.
