Dear (Name),
ADVERTISEMENTS:
I would like to say that you have been my tenant in the above- quoted premises for the last about seven years. At the time of your occupying my premises you had verbally assured me that after five years of stay you will have no objection to increase the rent by ____________ per cent to help me offset the increased cost of maintenance and taxes etc, Now two years have passed since the increase became due and I have spoken to you once or twice indirectly. The situation that transpires now is such that it is becoming more and more difficult to make do with the original rent of ____________ (Amount) per month. The maintenance costs have raised manifold and so have the taxes.
I, therefore, request you to-agree to increase the rent by ____________ (Amount) p.m. in accordance with your promise although it is quite inadequate offset the rising expenses. You will agree that I have given you a lovely time to think after the increase became due and it is no time for me! Demand the extra money. Please let me know when I shall meet you” formalise the fresh arrangement.
With best regards,
Yours/ faithfully,
(Landlord Name)
