Fill and Sign the Now that I Have Put You on Notice of My View of This Matter I Will Form

[Date] [Landlord’s Name] [Landlord’s Address] Re: Notice to Landlord: Improper rent increase Dear : [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 increas e 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 relente d 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: __________________________
