IELTS General Writing Task 1 Practice Test 2

Dear Mr Nick

I am writing this letter as i heard you are going to increase the rent of my room. As, you know its just been a month i have move in your place and also i am new to the city.
To let you know i moved in your home because its really near to my university and also you have very peaceful environment. But without any pre notice you have decided to increase the rent which really made me feel bad. As i am new to this city i really need some time to settle down plus i even don’t have any part time job. Regardless of this if you still wish to increase my room rent then you need to give me some time to find me a new room. At this point I can’t afford that much rent.
I hope you will understand my problem and make a wise decision which will benefit both of us.
Your’s Faithfully

Dear Mike

Hope things are good at your end. I am in receipt of your mail stating you want to increase the rent. I am writing this letter in reply to the same. I request you to not increase the rent as I will not be able to afford the same.

It has been just 6 months since I have been renting your apartment. As per the rent agreement, rent can be increased only after a period of one year. I can understand that the water and electricity unit rates have been increased by 10% over the past months for which you want to increase the rent amount. I assure you of optimum use of energy in my apartment and would not cost you much.

In case the rent is increased I will be forced to look for other apartment within my budget. It will be of high inconvenience to me in the middle of my Final Semester. Kindly consider my request and keep the rent amount same for at least next 6 months.

Looking forward for your kind co-operation

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing this letter in regard to the notice of rent increment I received from the house manager earlier today. I have just moved into your house with my family, and it’s barely been three months yet you have made the decision to inflate the rent which is unheard of for new tenants. Before moving to your house, I inquired about the prices of other apartments in the same area and found that the prices are the same for similar utilities. Furthermore, it is a breach of contract as it says in the initial agreement that rent increment commences yearly.
I must say that this will negatively affect my plans for the year. I humbly request that you comply with the agreement written in the contract. If my request cannot be met, I have no choice but to vacate.
I hope we can both find common ground and settle our differences on the issue.
Best wishes,
Stephanie.

Dear Mr Sam,

I am writing this letter for my concern with increase in rent as informed by you. I am really happy to stay at your house and it really gives me a peaceful and blissful living atmosphere. However we have just moved in to your house 6 months back and to increase the rent in such shorter span is not expected. Also as per the agreement it is mentioned for rent increase on a yearly basis. Increasing the rent without any strong reason is not acceptable.
I also had recently done a major medical expenditure and hence increase in rent will not be affordable to me. In case you are against this I will have no other option but to move somewhere else.
Request you to consider my request and we can both get on a better solution suitable to both of us.

Yours faithfully
Megha

Dear Mr. Smith,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to share with you my concern about the rent arising you commented to me last week.
I checked the rent receipts and I noticed that it was increased by 20% two months ago. Although I understand prices are going higher and people’s desire for an improved quality of life, I don’t agree the rent increase I was told or any lower as the annual inflation is only 8%, so I consider it was covered with the first rise.
Furthermore, I haven’t got any recent salary increase and according to the calculations I made, I wouldn’t be capable of afford it. So, in case you decide to go on with the rise, I won’t have any other option than moving out.
I hope you can consider my financial situation and we can find a solution together.
Yours sincerely,
Chiara.

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

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
