Dear Mr. David

I hope this letter reaches you well. I would like to draw your attention regarding our recent conversation about increasing the rent of the flat at Palm Groove, Noida where I am residing with my family.
As you are aware I am an average software engineer who works in one of IT company based in Noida. Our company’s growth got a hit because of less sales and decrease in number of new customers due to Pandemic. I did not get the deserved hike last year during appraisal due to the same reason. As you are already aware of Cost of daily used products are reaching new heights due to recent increase in petrol and diesel prices. I respect your decision of increasing rent as you have a family to feed. But I would not be able to bear any more additional expenses in upcoming months. My next appraisal will fall after three months. So I request you to stay with the current rent agreement and not to increase the rent till then. If you agree to continue with the current amount then we would like to renew our lease for another one year.
If you really insist to increase the rent, then we have no option, but to vacate. Kindly consider all these factors and rethink on your decision.

Yours Sincerely
Shivek Parmar

Dear Mr. Lam,

I hope this letter reaches you well. I would like to draw your attention to your recent request of increasing the rent of your flat in Tseung Kwan O, which I am residing in with my husband.

Regarding your request, I hold my strong belief that the rent should not be increased due to two main reasons. The former reason is that the rental fee has already been increased since last month and your rent increment intimation is quite a surprise to me, therefore, it is unreasonable to increase the price within such a short period of time.

Next, the latter reason is because of your negligence of repairing the water pipe leakage of your flat. I raised my concern to you half a year ago, yet no follow-up arrangement was seen up till now. I am disappointed that you do not help solve the flat’s technical problem, while you are pricing the rent up instead.

If you really insist to increase the rent, then I will consider twice whether to continue our tenant agreement. If you agree to continue with the current amount, we will renew our lease for another one year. We have also been very prompt in paying our rent. I would like you to consider all these factors and re-think your decision. I would really appreciate your kindness of resuming the constant rental fee. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Miss Chan

Dear Mr Ndifon Clovis,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today. I recieved a text message yesterday, stating that house rents would be increased. I wish to propose that you re-think over this descision, given the fact that times are hard and we are faced with an economic crises. You are fully aware of the chaos that this economic crises is possing especially on us the Anglophones and also that I am a single mother struggling to have ends met.
I will like to inform you that in case you persist on this descision, then I would have no other choice than to leave your house. This is because I would not be able to meet up with the rents and my day to day expenses. Thank you for considering my opinion.
Yours Sincerely
Miss Ngufor.

Dear Mr. John,
I received your mail yesterday. From the mail, I understand that you have proposed to increase the monthly rent for the apartment per month by 10 per cent.

I would like to request you to drop the said proposed increase in rent. Currently, I am not in a sound financial condition since I am at a very nascent stage in my job earning nominal salary. Furthermore, as you know, living in the city without any financial support from anyone is not easy and I scrapingly manage to meet my personal and household expenses. I transfer a small portion of money that I save to my parents to provide support for them as well.

Further, I understand that every individual has their own monetary commitments to meet. Accordingly, in case we are not able to reach a consensus on dropping the proposed increase in monthly rent, I would like to vacate the apartment with no hard feelings and look for a new place that is within my budget.

Looking forward to hear from you,

Yours sincerely,
Nikhil
