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 Landlord,
I received the memo in my email yesterday morning about the proposed plan to increase my house rent. In my honest opinion, I don't think
this
is the best time for such
an increment. Moreover
, this
apartment I am staying doesn't worth the set price in my view.
I am of the opinion that the rent shouldn't be raised for a few reasons. The most important one is that, according to
the tenancy agreement signed when moving in, rent prices could only be reviewed after three years of occupancy, however
, I have barely spent two years inside your property. Also
, I think the £200 per week that I am currently paying is decent enough for a studio apartment with no garage. So, Increasing it to £300 per week is extremely out of the roof for such
room size and features. Therefore
, I do not agree with the increase.
As a solution, and because I love the house design and its location, I would appreciate you look into this
and suspend the intention of raising the house charge. Otherwise
, since it contradicts the tenancy agreement signed, I will not hesitate to inform my lawyer, and I will be ready to take this
to court.
Thanks for your anticipated consideration and I look forward to a response from you.
Yours sincerely,
Moses.Submitted by peteromisakin on
