Your landlord is asking to increase the rent. Write a letter to him. In your letter, you should tell: why you think the rent shouldn’t be increased what you will do if it is increased.
Dear Mr. David,
I am writing
this
letter to inform you that I have just moved into your house to stay on rent but I was quite surprised by looking at your rent intimation. It is too high for me. I can understand that your house is in the central location and it is well maintained, but I would like to inform you that I have also
checked with nearby places, they are paying a lesser amount.
I would also
like to inform you that my wife has just delivered a baby and she is on maternity leave for some period of time. So, I am the only one who is earning in the house and we also
need to calculate the total expenditure. I would like you to consider these factors in your mind. If you are ready to decrease the value, we would like to extend our lease agreement for another year. Think about this
and take your decision.
If your stubborn mind will not understand my situation, we would have no option, but to vacant
.
Yours Sincerely,
JamesReplace the word
