Your landlord has increased the amount of rent you pay every month and you don’t find it appropriate. Write a letter to the landlord and in your letter, Explain why you are writing Describe why you find the increase inappropriate What you want to do now--
Dear Smith,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. I am a tenant of room number 3 in your residence, which is located on Dundas Street in Woodstock. I am writing this
letter regarding the amount of rent which you have increased.
As you know, I have been living in this
apartment for the last
2 years and I tried to maintain that like my own house. I got your e-mail yesterday about 200 dollars inflation in the price without any updation and renovation, which looks inappropriate to me.Besides
that
I am a full-time student and working only part-time, so it will be very expensive for me to spend 900 dollars on accommodation.
I would like to change my home because it is not affordable for me. I will move out on the 1st date of the next month. Please refund my security deposit, which I gave to you on my first day here.
Thank you for letting me know, if you have any questions please reach me back on 9053247889.
Thank you,
Yours truly
