Dear Mr John, I am writing
this
 email concerning the increase in rent that you have mentioned in the lease agreement which I am not feeling justified. Please allow me to explain. you have asked for an increase of $200 from the month of June. I don't mind paying
this
 amount,
however
, there are a few problems which must be addressed before I renew
this
 contract.
Firstly
, I have already informed you that the heating system is not working properly in the bedroom and we are using a portable heater which is not very convenient.
In addition
, the kitchen tap is still leaking even though we reported you multiple times, it has not been resolved.
Finally
, the broken windows in the master bedroom should be replaced as it was damaged by you
while
 fitting lights
last
 month. I would be grateful if you could resolve all these issues as early as possible,
then
 I don't have any issues signing the lease agreement with the increase that you have mentioned. I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience. Thank you. yours faithfully, Jee
