[Date] [Landlord’s Name] [Landlord’s Address]Re: Notice to Landlord: Improper rent increaseDear : [Landlord’s Name]I am your tenant at the following premises: [Address of premises]This letter is to provide you with legal notice that I consider the recently announced increase in my rent (from $_________ per month, to $_________ per month) to be in violation of our Lease Agreement, and accordingly I refuse to pay said increase. I intend to abide by our Lease Agreement and pay the rent stated therein of $_________ per month until the expiration of the lease term. You have no basis within our contract enabling you to unilaterally raise rent. I bargained for, and agreed to pay, exactly $_________ per month, and you cannot legally alter our agreement at your whim, or for any other reason outside the bounds of our contract.I expect you to relent in your demand for an increase in rent, and I hereby reserve all my legal rights and remedies under the Lease Agreement and applicable law, should you continue to make your unfounded demands. Now that I have put you on notice of my view of this matter, I will consider any further demands by you to be on the level of reckless and/or intentional wrongful conduct, and you should carefully consider the legal consequences of such wrongful conduct, including possible punitive damages.Please call if you have any questions. If I do not hear from you, I will assume you have relented in your demand upon me for additional rent.Sincerely,Tenant: ______________________________________ Date: _________________ [signature] Proof of Delivery This Notice delivered to Landlord or Landlord’s authorized agent:[ ] by personal delivery [ ] certified/registered mail, return receipt requested[ ] other form of notice pursuant to Lease Agreement: Signed: ______________________________________ Date: __________________________
