Subject: Request to Withdraw Retaliatory Rent Increase — Urgent Action Required [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Landlord's Name] [Landlord's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing to bring your attention to an issue that requires your immediate attention and resolution. As a tenant residing at [Rental Property Address] in [City, State], I am submitting this letter to formally request the withdrawal of the retaliatory rent increase that was recently imposed. I have always honored my lease obligations and respected the terms outlined in our rental agreement. However, as I received the latest rent notice, it has come to my attention that the increase appears to be retaliatory in nature. As a loyal, responsible, and cooperative tenant throughout my tenure, I believe this increase is unjustified and contradicts our harmonious landlord-tenant relationship. I understand that as a landlord, you have the prerogative to adjust rent prices at appropriate intervals to reflect market conditions and overall property value. However, the decision to increase my rent coincided shortly after I raised legitimate concerns about the maintenance issues I have faced in the rental property. It is worth noting that under Oklahoma state laws and statutes, it is illegal for landlords to retaliate against tenants who assert their rights related to essential services, livability, or enforcement of the lease agreement. In accordance with the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (OR LTA) Section 1-122, retaliation against a tenant is strictly prohibited. Considering the above, I kindly request you to reconsider the retaliatory increase and promptly withdraw it. I believe that it is in our mutual interest to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship, based on fairness, respect, and open communication. By resolving this issue amicably, we can ensure the continuity of a constructive relationship and prevent unnecessary legal actions from arising. Please respond to this letter within [number of days] from the receipt of this notice. Your prompt attention and resolution are greatly appreciated. Failing to address this matter satisfactorily within the given time frame may result in further necessary actions to protect my rights as a tenant. Thank you for your prompt attention to this request. I value your cooperation and maintenance of a productive landlord-tenant partnership. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
